                           EXECUTIVE CALENDAR

  Mr. McCAIN. Madam President, I ask unanimous consent that the Senate 
proceed to executive session to consider the following nomination: 
Calendar No. 477 only, with no other executive business in order.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection?
  Without objection, it is so ordered.
  The clerk will report the nomination.
  The bill clerk read the nomination of Eric K. Fanning, of the 
District of Columbia, to be Secretary of the Army.
  Thereupon, the Senate proceeded to consider the nomination.
  Mr. McCAIN. Madam President, I know of no further debate on the 
nomination.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there any further debate?
  Hearing none, the question is, Will the Senate advise and consent to 
the Fanning nomination?
  The nomination was confirmed.
  Mr. McCAIN. Madam President, I ask unanimous consent that the motion 
to reconsider be considered made and laid upon the table, 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.
