                     Nomination of Drew H. Wrigley

  Mr. CRAMER. Mr. President, in a little bit, we are going to have the 
opportunity to vote to confirm Drew Wrigley as the next U.S. attorney 
for the District of North Dakota. First of all, I want to thank Leader 
McConnell and Leader Schumer for providing this opportunity to vote to 
confirm this outstanding candidate.
  A little bit about Drew. First of all, he is a good personal friend. 
Drew is a sincere public servant. He has served our State as our 
Lieutenant Governor and previously as U.S. attorney for North Dakota 
under President George W. Bush. He has a servant's heart.
  The thing I like so much about Drew is, besides being a professional 
prosecutor--and prior to even being a U.S. attorney, he was a longtime 
prosecutor in Philadelphia in the district attorney's office. He is 
good at his job. He is smart. He is compassionate. He cares as much as 
anything about the rule and the letter of the law and the victims of 
crimes. But the thing I like the most about Drew is that he is a 
courageous prosecutor. He doesn't just take the layups. He is willing 
to push to the edge for victims, for justice. He takes the tough cases, 
and he takes them on. Win or lose, he fights as hard as he can for the 
cause of justice and for the victims of crimes.
  So it is a great honor for me today to advocate for Drew's 
confirmation, and I look forward to the opportunity in a little bit to 
vote for it.
  I yield the floor.
  I suggest the absence of a quorum.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will call the roll.

  Mr. McCONNELL. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the order 
for the quorum call be rescinded.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
