                    UNANIMOUS CONSENT CONSIDERATION

  Mr. INHOFE. Mr. President, earlier today I submitted a request to the 
Senate to be considered with respect to the referral of the nomination 
of the Assistant Secretary of the Army for Civil Works for the 108th 
Congress.
  The order reads as follows:

       Ordered that, when the nomination for the Assistant 
     Secretary of the Army for Civil Works is received by the 
     Senate, it be referred to the Committee on Armed Services, 
     provided that when the Committee on Armed Services reports 
     the nomination, it be referred to the Committee on 
     Environment and Public Works for a period of 20 days of 
     session, provided further that if the Committee on 
     Environment and Public Works does not report the nomination 
     within those 20 days, the Committee be discharged from 
     further consideration of the nomination and the nomination be 
     placed on the calendar.

  This order has been closely coordinated with both the chairmen and

ranking members of the Committee on Armed Services and the Committee on 
Environment and Public Works. As chairman of the EPW Committee and a 
senior member of the Armed Services Committee, I thank Chairman Warner 
and Senator Levin for working with Senator Jeffords and myself.
  Mr. JEFFORDS. I too support this order, and I thank my colleagues on 
both the EPW Committee and Armed Services for working together on this 
request.
