                      Nomination of Lael Brainard

  Madam President, today, the Senate gavels in for the start of a 5-
week work period, and there is much, much that the American people want 
us and need us to work on in order to lower costs and improve their 
daily lives. That will be one of our primary focuses. The Senate will 
also continue confirming President Biden's administrative and judicial 
nominees.
  Today we will vote to advance the nomination of Lael Brainard to be 
Vice Chairman of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors. Ms. Brainard 
received bipartisan backing in the committee, and I expect her to sail 
through this Chamber with similar bipartisan support.
