                              Nominations

  Mr. President, on an entirely different matter, this week the Senate 
is considering the nominations of three more well-qualified jurists to 
vacancies on our Nation's Federal courts.
  First is Allison Jones Rushing, of North Carolina, to serve on the 
Fourth Circuit. Ms. Rushing is a graduate of Wake Forest University and 
Duke University School of Law with high honors. In the years since, she 
has built a distinguished record in private practice and has held 
prestigious appellate clerkships on two Federal circuit courts and the 
U.S. Supreme Court.
  I will have more to say on the state of our nominations process soon, 
but I hope each of our colleagues will begin the week by joining me in 
voting to advance Ms. Rushing's nomination later today.
