                    Nomination of Ronald T. Keohane

  Mr. President, now on nominations, today the Senate will continue our 
work to confirm President Biden's nominees. We will begin by confirming 
Ronald Keohane, a proud Buffalo, NY, native, as Assistant Secretary of 
Defense for Manpower and Reserve Affairs, and I am proud to support 
this great New Yorker.
  Mr. Keohane is exceptionally qualified for this position, having 
served in various support roles for our servicemembers and their 
families during his 30-year career. He served in the Obama 
administration in a similar role as Deputy Assistant Secretary for 
Military Community and Family Policy.

  So Mr. Keohane is the right man for the job because he understands 
the value of caring for our servicemembers and their families.
