with the concurrence of the Democratic leader, the Senate proceed to 
executive session and that the nomination of Gordon England, to be 
Deputy Secretary of Homeland Security, be discharged from the 
Governmental Affairs Committee; further, that the Senate then proceed 
to its consideration; that there be 20 minutes of debate equally 
divided between the chairman and ranking member; provided further, that 
following the use or yielding back of time, the Senate proceed to a 
vote on the nomination, with no intervening action or debate; that
