                  NOMINATION OF AILEEN MERCEDES CANNON

  Mr. SCOTT of Florida. Madam President, I rise today to support the 
confirmation of Aileen Mercedes Cannon to serve as a U.S. District 
Court Judge for the Southern District of Florida. Ms. Cannon has a 
distinguished record of public service, during which she has 
demonstrated a firm commitment to upholding the United States 
Constitution and respecting the rule of law. She began her legal career 
as a law clerk for Judge Steven Colloton on the Eighth Circuit United 
States Court of Appeals and has served with the U.S. Attorney's Office 
for the Southern District of Florida since 2013. I am confident that 
she will continue to serve the Southern District of Florida well once 
she is confirmed to the bench, and I am proud to support her 
confirmation today.
  Mr. CASEY. I yield the floor.
  I suggest the absence of a quorum.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will call the roll.
  The legislative clerk proceeded to call the roll.
  Mr. TOOMEY. Madam President, I ask unanimous consent that the order 
for the quorum call be rescinded.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
