  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Arizona.
  Mr. FLAKE. Madam President, on this vote, I have a pair with the 
Senator from Oklahoma, Mr. Inhofe. If he were present and voting, he 
would vote ``yea''. He is absent due to a family emergency. If I were 
permitted to vote, I would vote ``nay''. I therefore withdraw my vote.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator has that right.
  The VICE PRESIDENT. On this vote the yeas are 49, the nays are 49. 
The Senate being equally divided, the Vice President votes in the 
affirmative, and the motion is agreed to.
  The clerk will report the nomination.
