                        HIGGINBOTTOM NOMINATION

  Mr. REID. Madam President, we have been working very hard on the 
Heather Higginbottom nomination. Heather Higginbottom has been 
nominated to be the Deputy Director of the Office of Management and 
Budget, a very important assignment. We have been trying to confirm her 
nomination for almost 6 months.
  I hope and understand that Senator Kyl is working with the 
administration on something that will clear this nomination. I am not 
going to ask consent on this nomination tonight, but all my Republican 
colleagues should be prepared for a unanimous consent request on this 
nomination when we return next week. I hope Senator Kyl will allow this 
nomination to go forward after his request is satisfied.
