         UNANIMOUS CONSENT AGREEMENT--EXECUTIVE CALENDAR NO. 32

  Mr. McCONNELL. Mr. President, as in executive session, I ask 
unanimous consent that on Friday, April 11, the Senate proceed, at a 
time determined by the majority leader, after consultation with the 
Democratic leader, to executive session for the consideration, for 
debate only, of Calendar No. 32, the nomination of Jeffrey Sutton to be 
U.S. Circuit Judge for the Sixth Circuit. I further ask unanimous 
consent that following debate on that day, the nomination be set aside 
and the Senate resume consideration of the nomination on Monday, April 
28, for debate only. Further, I ask unanimous consent that following 
debate on Monday, the nomination be set aside, and on Tuesday, April 
29, at a time determined by the majority leader, after consultation 
with the Democratic leader, the Senate proceed to a vote on the 
confirmation of the nomination, with no intervening action or debate.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection?
  Mr. REID. Reserving the right to object, Mr. President, we appreciate 
the majority working with us on this nomination. I am sure it is 
conversely appreciated, our working with them on this nomination. The 
majority leader indicated he had the intention of filing cloture on 
this nomination today. We have been able to work out an arrangement, so 
this will be unnecessary.
  I only ask that when the majority leader sets a time on Tuesday, he 
give some consideration to having the vote after the time set for our 
party caucuses.
  Mr. McCONNELL. Mr. President, I say to my friend from Nevada, we will 
be glad to take that under advisement and discuss that possibility.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
