            UNANIMOUS CONSENT AGREEMENT--EXECUTIVE CALENDAR

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that at 5:30 p.m. 
today the Senate proceed to executive session to consider Executive 
Calendars Nos. 513 and 514; that there be 5 minutes for debate equally 
divided between the chairman and ranking member; that upon the use or 
yielding back of that time, the Senate vote on the confirmation of each 
of these nominations; that upon disposition of the nominations the 
President be immediately notified of the Senate's action, and the 
Senate return to legislative session.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.


                             Yeas and Nays

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, as in executive session, I ask unanimous 
consent that it be in order to request the yeas and nays on the two 
nominations with one show of seconds.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  Mr. REID. Mr. President, prior to moving to the bill--we have the 
managers here on the DC bill--there has been conversation with the 
minority. The two managers have spoken, and we have every hope of 
finishing this bill early tomorrow. There are at least two amendments 
at this time. There has been a tentative agreement on time for those 
amendments, and it appears that we can start them early in the morning 
and finish them shortly thereafter. Hopefully, there would be nothing 
more.
  At the appropriate time, we will have a unanimous consent in relation 
to the whole bill.

  Mr. President, I ask for the yeas and nays on the nominations.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there a sufficient second?
  There is a sufficient second.
  The yeas and nays were ordered.
