  Mr. HELLER. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the cloture 
motion on the Elwood nomination be withdrawn, and that following leader 
remarks on Tuesday, June 6, the Senate resume consideration of the 
nomination, with the time equally divided until 2:15 p.m. I further ask 
that at 2:15 p.m., on June 6, the Senate vote on confirmation of the 
Elwood nomination, and that, if confirmed, the motion to reconsider be 
considered made and laid upon the table and the President be 
immediately notified of the Senate's action.

  Mr. HELLER. I suggest the absence of a quorum.
