             UNANIMOUS CONSENT REQUEST--EXECUTIVE CALENDAR

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, as if in executive session, I ask unanimous 
consent all nominations received by the Senate during the 107th 
Congress, except numbers PN 386 and PN 630, remain in status quo, 
notwithstanding the August 3, 2001, adjournment of the Senate, and the 
provisions of rule 31, paragraph 6 of the Standing Rules of the Senate.
  Mr. LOTT. Reserving the right to object, Mr. President, it is my 
understanding if this consent were granted on the two nominations, the 
two cited as PN 386 and PN 630, they would be returned to the White 
House. However, the White House could immediately resubmit the names. 
Therefore, I modify the request, or ask to modify the request so that 
all nominations remain in status quo during the adjournment of the 
Senate.
  Mr. REID. Mr. President, I reserve the right to object to that. I 
simply say Mary Gall had a hearing and she was not reported out of the 
committee. In fact, the committee acted affirmatively not to report 
that to the Senate. I say that Otto Reich as the Assistant Secretary of 
State--there have been a number of Senators who raised questions about 
that. If the President feels strongly about Otto Reich, during this 
period of time we are gone, he has the absolute authority to send that 
name back to us. I think that would be an appropriate way to proceed.
  Therefore, I object to the modified request of the minority leader.
  Mr. LOTT. Therefore, I object to the original request by the 
distinguished assistant majority leader.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Objection is heard.
  Mr. REID. Mr. President, I respect very much, of course, the decision 
made by the minority leader. I just disagree with him. It seems to me 
it is going to unnecessarily create a lot of work for a lot of people. 
Sending those two names back--if the President wishes to resubmit them, 
he can do that, but there is no need to belabor that any further today.
  Mr. LOTT. Mr. President, if I could be recognized just to respond 
briefly, I understand what the Senator from Nevada is saying. We 
discussed it.
  We believe Mary Sheila Gall's nomination to be Chairman of the 
Consumer Product Safety Commission was treated very badly and very 
shabbily in terms of the things that were said about her and the vote 
that occurred. I am sure there will be those who make the argument on 
the other side.
  With regard to Otto Reich to be Assistant Secretary of State, he has 
not had a hearing. We believe it is unfair to single him out and send 
back just one nominee at this time.
  My understanding is over the past several years, during the 5 years I 
was majority leader, in every year but one we sent back no nominees. In 
1999, we did actually send back nine. To isolate it down to one or two 
this early in the session, we believe, is a problem. We realize it is a 
ministerial process now. They will all be sent down and all will be 
bundled up and sent back, but it does highlight our concern about the 
way these two nominees are being treated.

  I understand what Senator Reid was saying. We have taken that action, 
right or wrong. Now we can move on.
  Mr. REID. I just say to the distinguished Republican leader, I had a 
meeting in my office yesterday on Otto Reich. Some of my friends came 
to speak to me very favorably about Otto Reich.
  I think the decision may focus more attention on it than if the 
President simply resubmitted the name, but as I said earlier, time will 
only tell if he will resubmit the name. I am sure he will resubmit the 
names of all the others. It just creates a lot of paperwork for a lot 
of people.
  Mr. LOTT. If the Senator will just yield on one point, I thank the 
Senator for nominations we are going to be able to move now. A lot of 
work has been done to get this list cleared. You have given a lot of 
time to it, as has Senator Nickles. I just wanted to thank you in 
advance for the work that has been done.
  Mr. REID. Of course, nothing would be done but for the two leaders. 
Senator Nickles and I were given an assignment to do what we could to 
clear these names. He came to me yesterday and he said, since you have 
been given this job, I have been able to clear three. He said prior to 
my getting involved he cleared 58 or so. For Senator Nickles and me, 
this makes us look good also. But these names could not have been 
cleared but for the work of our two leaders.
  The nominations returned are as follows:

                          Nominations Returned

       The following nominations were returned to the President of
