  Mr. PORTMAN. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the cloture 
motions with respect to Executive Calendar Nos. 912, 913, and 914 be 
withdrawn. I further ask that at 11 a.m. tomorrow morning, the Senate 
vote on confirmation of the nominations in the order on which cloture 
was filed; further, that if confirmed, the motions to reconsider be 
considered made and laid upon the table and the President be 
immediately notified of the Senate's action; further, that following 
disposition of the Cooksey nomination, the Senate resume legislative 
session and it be in order for Senator Menendez or his designee to make 
motions to discharge S.J. Res. 77 and S.J. Res. 78; and if either 
motion is made, that there be 4 hours of debate concurrently on the 
motions, equally divided between the proponents and opponents of the 
joint resolutions, with Senator Menendez controlling 15 minutes of the 
proponents' time immediately prior to the first vote; finally, that 
upon the use or yielding back of that time, the Senate vote on the 
motions to discharge S.J. Res. 77 and S.J. Res. 78 in the order listed.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
