               Nominations of Heather M. Cahoon, En Bloc

  I, therefore, ask unanimous consent that the Senate proceed to the 
consideration of the following nominations en bloc: Calendar Nos. 666 
and 667, for Heather M. Cahoon, of Montana, to be a Member of the Board 
of Trustees of the Morris K. Udall and Stewart L. Udall Foundation for 
a term expiring October 6, 2024, and for a subsequent full 6-year term; 
also, that the nominations be confirmed en bloc; the motions to 
reconsider be considered made and laid upon the table with no 
intervening action or debate; and that no further motions be in order 
to any of the nominations; and that the President be immediately 
notified of the Senate's action.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  The question is, Will the Senate advise and consent to the en bloc 
nominations of Heather M. Cahoon, of Montana, to be a Member of the 
Board of Trustees of the Morris K. Udall and Stewart L. Udall 
Foundation for a term expiring October 6, 2024; and Heather M. Cahoon, 
of Montana, to be a Member of the Board of Trustees of the Morris K. 
Udall and Stewart L. Udall Foundation for a term expiring October 6, 
2030. (Reappointment)?
  The nominations were confirmed en bloc.
  Mr. CARPER. Mr. President, could I have another minute or 2 to make 
some personal comments, if I could?
  I had the privilege of serving as Governor before I came to serve 24 
years ago as a Senator. Before I was a Governor, I was a Congressman 
for some 10 years. One of the people I served with in the House of 
Representatives was Morris Udall--Mo Udall--who was a giant in the 
House and a giant in the country, a great environmentalist, great 
conservationist, and a wonderful human being, a wonderful servant. 
People are probably saying, what is this Udall Foundation? The Udall 
family--not only Mo Udall but also our colleagues who served here in 
the Senate, and one of them, if I am not mistaken, may still serve as 
our U.S. Ambassador to New Zealand. I think of them and I think of the 
Udall family and what they have meant to this country, to this body 
over many, many years.
  I am pleased to be here to put in a good word for Ms. Cahoon, who I 
think is well-qualified. And I am pleased we will be able to act on 
that nomination today.
  I yield the floor.
