        MEASURES PLACED ON THE CALENDAR--S. 14 AND H.J. RES. 51

  Mr. HATCH. I understand there is a bill and a joint resolution at the 
desk which are due for a second reading.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator is correct.
  Mr. HATCH. I ask unanimous consent it be in order to read the titles 
of the measures en bloc.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  The clerk will read the titles of the bills en bloc.
  The legislative clerk read as follows:

       A bill (S. 14) to enhance the energy security of the United 
     States, and for other purposes,
       A joint resolution (H.J. Res. 51), increasing the statutory 
     limit on the debt.

  Mr. HATCH. I ask that the Senate proceed en bloc to the measures, and 
I object to further proceeding en bloc.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The objection having been heard, the bills 
will be placed on the calendar.
  Mrs. BOXER. Will the Senator yield for a question? Just on the matter 
of timing.
  Mr. HATCH. I will be delighted.
  Mrs. BOXER. Mr. President, I have a markup at 9:30. I wanted to make 
a 5-minute statement on the judicial nomination. If we can do that and 
I will give Senator Hatch that 5 minutes back on his time, would that 
be acceptable?
  Mr. HATCH. I think the 5 minutes will be taken from the minority 
side.
  Mrs. BOXER. Yes, that is what I suggested.
  Mr. HATCH. I am happy to yield so the Senator can make her statement.
  Mrs. BOXER. That is very kind. I appreciate it.
