  Mr. LEAHY. Mr. President, because of the lateness of the hour, I am

sufficient.

consent to the nomination of Stephen Joseph Murphy III, of Michigan, to 
be United States District Judge for the Eastern District of Michigan?
  The nomination was confirmed.
  Mr. LEAHY. Mr. President, I thank my colleagues, I thank the Chair, 
and I thank the distinguished leader for helping us to get here.
