UNANIMOUS CONSENT AGREEMENT--NOMINATIONS TO OFFICE OF INSPECTOR GENERAL

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, as in executive session, I ask unanimous 
consent that the nominations to the Office of Inspector General, except 
the Office of Inspector General of the Central Intelligence Agency, be 
referred in each case to the committee having primary jurisdiction over 
the department, agency, or entity and, if and when reported in each 
case, then to the Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental 
Affairs for not to exceed 20 calendar days, except in cases when the 
20-day period expires while the Senate is in recess or adjournment the 
committee shall have 5 additional calendar days after the Senate 
reconvenes to report the nomination, and that if the nomination is not 
reported after the expiration of that period, the nomination be 
automatically discharged and placed on the Executive Calendar.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
