                         NOMINATIONS DISCHARGED

  Mr. KERRY. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the Judiciary 
Committee be discharged en bloc of the following nominations: PN2353 
and PN2349; that the Senate then proceed en bloc to the consideration 
of the nominations; that the nominations be confirmed en bloc, and the 
motions to reconsider be laid upon the table; that any statements 
relating to the nominations be printed in the Record, the President be 
immediately notified of the Senate's action, and the Senate then resume 
legislative session.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  The nominations considered and confirmed en bloc are as follows:


                         department of justice

       William Benedict Berger, Sr., of Florida, to be United 
     States Marshal for the Middle District of Florida for the 
     term of four years.
       Joseph Campbell Moore, of Wyoming, to be United States 
     Marshal for the District of Wyoming for the term of four 
     years.


                       NOMINATION OF JOSEPH MOORE

  Mr. ENZI. Mr. President, I rise today to speak on the nomination of 
Joe Moore to serve as the U.S. marshal for the district of Wyoming. I 
was pleased to see that the Senate has given this nomination full and 
fair consideration. I support Joe Moore's nomination for this important 
position for Wyoming and am confident that he will do a great service 
in his capacities as U.S. marshal.
  Joe Moore is currently the director of the Wyoming Office of Homeland 
Security--a position he has served in since it was created in 2003. 
During his time with the Wyoming Office of Homeland Security, he worked 
closely with State, local, and Federal officials to respond to and 
coordinate responses to several major natural disasters. Director Moore 
has also bolstered Wyoming's homeland security efforts and improved 
State and local law enforcement activities statewide. Director Moore is 
a graduate of Elizabethtown College in Pennsylvania, and prior to his 
service with the State of Wyoming, he spent 32 years serving in Federal 
law enforcement.
  I would like to thank my colleagues on the Senate Judiciary Committee 
for advancing this nomination. The U.S. Marshals Service has a long, 
distinguished history in our State, and I applaud Director Moore's 
confirmation to head this agency in Wyoming.
