                     NOMINATION OF ERIC M. GARCETTI

  Mr. GRASSLEY. Madam President, I intend to lift my objection to 
proceeding to the consideration of the nomination of Mayor Eric 
Garcetti, of California, to be the U.S. Ambassador to India.
  Today, I released the findings of a staff review examining whether 
Mr. Garcetti was aware of allegations of misconduct by a former senior 
adviser. I am making these findings public in the interest of 
transparency and for the benefit of my colleagues as the Senate 
fulfills its advice and consent duties. I intend to lift my hold on the 
nomination, but based on what I have learned, I intend to vote no if 
the nomination is considered by the full Senate.
