  Mr. SCHUMER. Mr. President, for the information of the Senate and the 
American people, these are the 11 four-star generals who were not 
included in the last approval of the 300-and-some-odd flag officers 
whom we did approve last time. So these are the 11 remaining generals 
that have just been approved and some other regular nominations that we 
usually do through the military. But these 11 flag officers have now 
been approved, joining the rest of their colleagues whom we approved a 
few week ago. That is good news.
