Order No. 1178, which the clerk will report.
  The legislative clerk read the nomination of Dennis W. Shedd, of

  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Vermont.
  Mr. LEAHY. Mr. President, how much time is under the control of the 
Senator from Vermont?
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Three hours.
  Mr. LEAHY. Mr. President, I have discussed this with the 
distinguished senior Senator from Utah. I am going to speak on another 
matter prior to going to the Shedd nomination, although I have no 
objection to the time coming out of the 3 hours.
