                           EXECUTIVE CALENDAR

  Mr. PETERS. Mr. President, shortly, I will ask for unanimous consent 
to confirm Ann Fisher and Ashley Poling to serve as Commissioners on 
the Postal Regulatory Commission, or the PRC.
  The PRC is an independent Agency that serves as the Postal Services 
regulator, providing oversight as well as accountability. This 
bipartisan Commission is most effective with a full complement of 
Commissioners who have diverse perspectives but who are all committed 
to ensuring the transparency and accountability of the Postal Service.
  Ann Fisher and Ashley Poling have both served as PRC Commissioners 
since 2019, and they have both demonstrated their commitment to robust 
oversight of the Postal Service. These are not controversial nominees. 
They are both dedicated public servants with deep expertise of the 
Postal Service. Both were previously nominated to the PRC by former 
President Trump, and they were unanimously confirmed by the Senate. 
They also received strong bipartisan support in my committee for their 
renominations, and I would urge my colleagues to join me in confirming 
these well-qualified nominees.
  Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the Senate consider the 
following nominations en bloc for the Postal Regulatory Commission: 
Calendar No. 772, Ann C. Fisher, and Calendar No. 773, Ashley Jay 
Elizabeth Poling; that the Senate vote on the nominations en bloc 
without intervening action or debate; that the motions to reconsider be 
considered made and laid upon the table and 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 
nominations of Ann C. Fisher, of South Dakota, to be a Commissioner of 
the Postal Regulatory Commission for a term expiring October 14, 2030 
(Reappointment), and Ashley Jay Elizabeth Poling, of North Carolina, to 
be a Commissioner of the Postal Regulatory Commission for a term 
expiring November 22, 2030 (Reappointment)?
  The nominations were confirmed en bloc.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Utah.
