                     EXECUTIVE CALENDAR--Continued

  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The majority whip.
  Mr. CORNYN. Mr. President, earlier today the Senate moved forward 
with the President's nominee to head up the Office of Management and 
Budget, Congressman Mulvaney. Congressman Mulvaney spent years 
representing the people of South Carolina and has been thoroughly 
engaged on budget issues during his time in the House of 
Representatives.
  He has highlighted the fact that the Federal Government is on an 
unsustainable fiscal path if nothing changes in Washington, DC, and 
that it is reckless to keep running up the Nation's credit card with 
trillions in more debt and unfunded liabilities, not to mention the 
immorality of passing down to the next generation the obligation of 
actually paying that money back.
  So Congressman Mulvaney is actually, I think, a very good choice for 
this critical role, and I look forward to voting on his confirmation 
soon.
