                      UNANIMOUS CONSENT AGREEMENT

  Mr. GREGG. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that after the 
passage of the budget--I like that--the Senate proceed to executive 
session and proceed to two consecutive votes on the confirmation of the 
following judicial nominations on the Executive Calendar: Calendar No. 
547, Jack Zouhary to be United States District Judge for the Northern 
District of Ohio; and Calendar No. 548, Stephen G. Larson to be United 
States District Judge for the Central District of California; further, 
that prior to the first vote the two Senators from Ohio be given 1 
minute each, and prior to the second vote the Senators from California 
be given 1 minute each; that following these votes the President be 
immediately notified of the Senate's action and the Senate then resume 
legislative session.
  Mr. LEAHY. Mr. President, reserving the right to object, is time also 
reserved before each vote for the chairman of the Judiciary Committee 
and ranking member?
  Mr. GREGG. There was not. But I will be happy to ask for that.
  Mr. LEAHY. One minute each prior; and I wonder if the distinguished 
Senator from New Hampshire would be willing to amend his unanimous 
consent to make it in order to ask for the yeas and nays at this point 
on both votes.
  Mr. GREGG. I have no objection.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection?
  Without objection, it is so ordered.
  Mr. LEAHY. Mr. President, I ask for the yeas and nays.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there a sufficient second?
  There is a sufficient second.
  The yeas and nays were ordered en bloc.
