                           EXECUTIVE CALENDAR

                                 ______
                                 

                           EXECUTIVE SESSION

  Mr. WARNER. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the Senate 
proceed to the consideration of following nominations:
  Reported by the Finance Committee, No. 62, Mr. Faryar Shirzad; and 
No. 63, Scott Whitaker, reported by the Armed Services Committee, which 
I am privileged to chair.
  Our committee met today in the course of a very thorough and very 
lengthy hearing on the issues regarding the B-22. I commend my 
committee and the Members who were in attendance, and indeed the 
witnesses who came before that committee.
  I think we performed some very valuable oversight. We will do much 
more.
  Within the course of that committee meeting, a quorum being present, 
we reported out favorably No. 45, Mr. Dov Zakheim to be Comptroller, 
and No. 48, Mr. Powell Moore to be Assistant Secretary of Defense for 
purposes of legislative affairs. I have known these gentleman for so 
many years. They are to be viewed as citizens who once again sign up to 
go into public office after extensive previous public office to serve 
our Nation. I commend them and their families. And, Nos. 51 through 57, 
64, 65, and all nominations on the Secretary's desk.
  I further ask unanimous consent that the nominations be confirmed, 
the motions to reconsider be laid upon the table, any statements 
relating to the nominations be printed in the Record, the President be 
immediately notified of the Senate's action, and the Senate then return 
to legislative session.
