                              Nominations

  Mr. WHITEHOUSE. Just one quick point of fact into this maelstrom of 
faux outrage about Democratic obstruction, and that is that the 
proposal that has been made to the Republicans to resolve the customary 
August jam-up where we clear nominees would actually put President 
Trump ahead of the number of appointees that Republicans had allowed 
President Biden at this same time in his Presidency. So you can take 
what is being said here with a bit of a grain of salt.
