  Mr. SCHUMER. Madam President, we have just gotten some very good 
news, and that is that the Senate has confirmed the U.S. attorneys and 
U.S. marshals who had been blocked for quite a long time. It is a good

are vital to keeping our communities safe and secure, and they should 
never have been held up for leverage in partisan games.

they need with confirmed U.S. attorneys. So I am very glad that this 
has finally, finally happened. It took too long, but now it is done.
  I yield the floor.
