  Mr. KYL. Madam President, on behalf of the leader, I ask unanimous 
consent that the Senate now proceed to executive session for the 
consideration of Calendar No. 473, the nomination of Madelyn Creedon to 
be Deputy Administrator for Defense Programs, under the terms of the 
consent agreement reached June 14.

  The assistant legislative clerk read the nomination of Madelyn R. 
Creedon, of Indiana, to be Deputy Administrator for Defense Programs, 
National Nuclear Security Administration.
  Mr. KYL. Madam President, it is my intention in a moment to ask 
unanimous consent to speak on a different subject. Perhaps Senator 
Levin would like to comment briefly. I know he has a more lengthy 
statement he would like to make at a later time.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Michigan is recognized.
  Mr. LEVIN. I thank my good friend from Arizona. I can withhold my 
statement. It is not that long, but I will be here in any event. I am 
happy to yield to Senator Kyl for his statement on this or any other 
matter.
  Mr. KYL. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent to speak as in 
morning business.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
