                                PROGRAM

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that on Friday, 
September 21, 2001, immediately following the convening of the Senate 
at 9 a.m., the Senate proceed to executive session to consider en bloc 
the Executive Calendar nominations numbered 360 and 361; Sharon Prost 
to be a U.S. circuit judge, and Reggie Walton to be U.S. district 
judge; that there be 20 minutes for debate on the two nominees, equally 
divided between the chairman and ranking member of the Judiciary 
Committee; that at the conclusion, or yielding back the time, the 
Senate vote on confirmation of each nominee; that upon the disposition 
of these nominations the President be immediately notified of the 
Senate's action, the Senate return to legislative session, and the 
Senate stand in recess subject to the call of the Chair.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  Mr. REID. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that it be in order 
to ask, as in executive session, for the yeas and nays on both 
nominations now with one show of seconds.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  Mr. REID. I ask for the yeas and nays on the nominations.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there a sufficient second?
  There appears to be a sufficient second.
  The yeas and nays were ordered.
  Mr. REID. Mr. President, so there is no misunderstanding, on the 
unanimous consent request that was just entered, the 20 minutes is 
total for both nominees, equally divided.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
