                                 ______
                                 

  NOMINATION OF VICTOR J. WOLSKI, OF VIRGINIA, TO BE JUDGE OF UNITED 
                     STATES COURT OF FEDERAL CLAIMS

  Mr. FRIST. Madam President, I ask unanimous consent that the Senate 
proceed to executive session for the consideration of Executive 
Calendar No. 88.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered. The clerk 
will report.

       The assistant legislative clerk read the nomination of 
     Victor J. Wolski, of Virginia, to be a Judge of the United 
     States Court of Federal Claims.


                             Cloture Motion

  Mr. FRIST. This nomination has been pending on the calendar since 
March 27. This is one of four nominations on the calendar to the U.S. 
Court of Federal Claims that we have been hoping to clear for Senate 
action. I now send a cloture motion to the desk.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The cloture motion having been presented under 
rule XXII, the Chair directs the clerk to read the motion.
  The legislative clerk read as follows:

                             Cloture Motion

       We the undersigned Senators, in accordance with the 
     provisions of rule XXII of the Standing Rules of the Senate, 
     do hereby move to bring to a close debate on Executive 
     Calendar No. 88:
         Bill Frist, Orrin Hatch, Larry E. Craig, Craig Thomas, 
           Michael B. Enzi, Chuck Grassley, Arlen Specter, M. 
           Crapo, John E. Sununu, Elizabeth Dole, James Talent, 
           John Ensign, Susan Collins, Judd Gregg, John McCain, 
           R.F. Bennett, and Gordon Smith.

  Mr. FRIST. I ask unanimous consent that the live quorum under rule 
XXII be waived, and that the vote occur on Tuesday, July 8, immediately 
following the vote on the Campbell nomination.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  Mr. FRIST. I also announce if cloture is invoked and the nomination 
is subsequently confirmed, I will be prepared to ask unanimous consent 
that the remaining three nominations to the Court of Federal Claims be 
immediately confirmed so that all four nominations would be cleared at 
the same time.

                          ____________________
