the confirmation of the nomination, with no intervening action or 
debate; finally, I ask consent that following that vote, the President 
be immediately notified of the Senate's action and the Senate then 
resume legislative session.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection?
  Mr. REID. The Senator from Nevada objects.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Objection is heard.
  Mr. FRIST. I would ask if the request were modified to 10 or 12
