  The nomination was confirmed.
  Mr. REID. Madam President, we are going to have one more recorded 
vote. We think we will have another vote that will not be recorded, but 
it will be a voice vote and that will be the last vote tonight.
  I am totally aware of the weather prediction, that we might get some 
snow tomorrow night. We will see what happens midday tomorrow and find 
out how much snow the weather forecasters are predicting, if any.
  Tomorrow around 11:30 a.m. we are going to have a series of votes. 
The floor staff will be working on what the votes will be, and I will 
be discussing that with Senator McConnell.
  We have one more vote tonight and we have a series of votes tomorrow 
at 11:30 a.m.
