  Mr. REID. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the nomination 
of Joseph Schmitz to be Inspector General, Department of Defense, which 
was ordered reported by the Committee on Armed Services earlier today, 
be referred to the Committee on Governmental Affairs for not to exceed 
20 calendar days, beginning January 23, 2002, and that if the 
nomination is not reported after that 20-day period, the nomination be 
automatically discharged and placed on the Executive Calendar.
  The PRESIDENT pro tempore. Without objection, it is so ordered.
