                        Vote on Luger Nomination

  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Minnesota is now recognized 
for 1 minute.
  Ms. KLOBUCHAR. Mr. President, I rise in support of Andrew Luger. I 
thank my colleagues for the work they have done to make sure Minnesota 
has a U.S. attorney in place. I want to particularly thank Leader Reid 
and Senator McConnell, the two leaders, for their work, as well as 
Senator Franken. The two of us put together a nonpartisan 
recommendation coming from the committee, and we are very glad the 
President took that recommendation and recommended Andrew Luger, with 
his vast criminal prosecution experience as well as his civil 
experience.
  I also thank Senator Grassley for his work as well as Senator Corker. 
Minnesota has gone 2\1/2\ years without a full-time U.S. attorney, as 
our U.S. attorney was doing the job as ATF Director at the same time, 
and the over 100 people who work at the U.S. attorney's office in 
Minnesota truly deserve a leader.
  I thank my colleagues for their support.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The question is, Will the Senate advise and 
consent to the nomination of Andrew Mark Luger, of Minnesota, to be 
United States Attorney for the District of Minnesota?
  The nomination was confirmed.
