                     NOMINATION OF DAVID P. PEKOSKE

  Mr. PETERS. Mr. President, the Committee on Homeland Security and 
Governmental Affairs has reviewed the nomination of David P. Pekoske to 
be the Administrator of the Transportation Security Administration, 
Department of Homeland Security. Seeing that this is Mr. Pekoske's 
nomination for a second consecutive term to be the Administrator of the 
Transportation Security Administration, the chairman and ranking member 
have reached a unanimous consent agreement to forgo a mark up for this 
nominee.
  In the 115th Congress, the Committee on Homeland Security and 
Governmental Affairs sought referral in June of 2017 for Mr. Pekoske's 
first nomination to be the Administrator of the Transportation Security 
Administration. The committee held a hearing for this nominee on June 
11, 2017, and reported the nominee out of committee favorably on June 
19, 2017. In the future, this committee is likely to seek referral on 
this nomination. This should be considered the standard procedure for 
future nominations to this role.
