                       NOMINATION OF DANA BAIOCCO

  Mr. McCONNELL. Mr. President, on another matter, later today we will 
consider the nomination of Dana Baiocco, the President's choice to join 
the Consumer Product Safety Commission.
  Ms. Baiocco's resume speaks for itself. After receiving her J.D. cum 
laude from Duquesne University, she clerked in the Western District of 
Pennsylvania before launching an impressive career in private practice.
  For two decades she has stood at the center of complicated cases and 
gained national recognition for her mastery of the legal questions 
surrounding consumer safety. This experience makes Ms. Baiocco an ideal 
candidate to help the CPSC protect consumers effectively and 
efficiently without imposing unnecessary barriers to free enterprise.
  Testifying before our colleagues on the Commerce Committee, she 
pledged to seek that balance with ``transparency'' and an ``open door 
policy'' and to remain ``guided by the rule of law.''
  I look forward to advancing this qualified nominee when we vote this 
afternoon and urge all of my colleagues to join me.
