                        Tribute to Cindy Hasiak

  Mr. SCHUMER. Mr. President, before we vote, I wish to take a moment 
to recognize a lifelong public servant, Cindy Hasiak, who will be 
retiring after 32 years in this Chamber, with the Sergeant at Arms and 
with the Senate doorkeepers.
  Cindy came to the Senate in the spring of 1987. In her time here, she 
has seen hundreds of Senators pass through these doors. When particular 
Senators were nowhere to be found, she was usually the one who would 
have chased them down.
  There is also so much work in the Senate that gets done behind the 
scenes. So much of it is essential to our operations, and all of it is 
performed flawlessly, quietly, wonderfully by dedicated staffers who 
rarely get the recognition they deserve. Truly, the Senate would not 
function without the quiet dedication and steady excellence of folks 
like Cindy.
  As her days of chasing down Senators come to a close, I wish her all 
the best as she embarks on a well-earned and well-deserved retirement 
where, luckily for her, she will be close to her family, friends, and 
loved ones and far from the frenetic demands of wrangling 100 Senators 
with 100 different schedules.
  We all thank her for her dedicated career in public service. She will 
always, always, always have the gratitude of this grand institution.
  I yield the floor.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The question is, Will the Senate advise and 
consent to the Feddo nomination?
  Ms. COLLINS. I ask for the yeas and nays.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there a sufficient second?
  There appears to be a sufficient second.
  The clerk will call the roll.
  The senior assistant legislative clerk called the roll.
  Mr. THUNE. The following Senators are necessarily absent: the Senator 
from Tennessee (Mr. Alexander), the Senator from Oklahoma (Mr. Inhofe), 
the Senator from Georgia (Mr. Isakson), the Senator from Arizona (Ms. 
McSally), the Senator from Kansas (Mr. Moran), the Senator from Georgia 
(Mr. Perdue), the Senator from Kansas (Mr. Roberts), and the Senator 
from Florida (Mr. Rubio).
  Further, if present and voting, the Senator from Tennessee (Mr. 
Alexander) would have voted ``yea,'' the Senator from Kansas (Mr. 
Moran) would have voted ``yea,'' and the Senator from Florida (Mr. 
Rubio) would have voted ``yea.''
  Mr. DURBIN. I announce that the Senator from New Jersey (Mr. Booker), 
the Senator from Delaware (Mr. Coons), the Senator from California (Ms. 
Harris), the Senator from Minnesota (Ms. Klobuchar), the Senator from 
Vermont (Mr. Sanders), and the Senator from Massachusetts (Ms. Warren)

desiring to vote?
