NOMINATIONS DISCHARGED
Ms. MURKOWSKI. Mr. President, as in executive session, I ask
unanimous consent that the Foreign Relations Committee be discharged
from further consideration of the following nominations: John Sununu,
PN 1951; Patrick Leahy, PN 1950; Stuart Holliday, PN 1131; and the
foreign service nominations list, PN 1828, which is at the desk. I
further ask unanimous consent that the Senate proceed to their
consideration, the nominations be confirmed, the motions to reconsider
be laid upon the table, the President be immediately notified of the
Senate's action, and the Senate resume legislative session.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Nevada.
Mr. REID. Mr. President, I guard the nomination process as well as
anybody. I have had difficulty with someone who we have tried to put on
the Nuclear Regulatory Commission for a year and a half. I have
recognized that by making sure that certain people the administration
wants do not go through. But I have not held up what I think are
nominations important to the national defense and welfare of our
country, generally speaking.
We have a number of people, as indicated by the acting leader at this
time, Senator Murkowski, being discharged from the Foreign Relations
Committee. There is one person, though, on the list by the name of
James B. Cunningham, a career member of the senior foreign service, to
be appointed to the Atomic Energy Agency with the rank of Ambassador.
There is a hold on this. This man would represent the United States on
this most important entity.
The news in the last months has been dealing with Iran and what they
are doing and not doing with their nuclear program. We need this man on
a daily basis doing what he needs to do to protect the interests of not
only the United States but the world with this burgeoning problem we
have with nuclear materials.
There is a hold by the majority on this nomination. I think it is
wrong. I will not mention the name of the Senator who has a hold, but
it should be taken off. It is not good for the country or for the
world.
Having said that, I have no objection to the request of the Senator
from Alaska.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, the request is agreed to.
The nominations, considered and confirmed, are as follows:
Department of State
Stuart W. Holliday, of Texas, to be an Alternate
Representative of the United States of America to the
Sessions of the General Assembly of the United Nations during

United States of America to the Fifty-ninth Session of the
