            UNANIMOUS CONSENT AGREEMENT--EXECUTIVE CALENDAR

  Mr. FRIST. As in executive session, I ask unanimous consent that at 5 
p.m. on Tuesday, September 7, the Senate proceed to executive session 
for the consideration en bloc of Calendar Nos. 791 and 792; provided 
further that the time until 5:30 be equally divided between the 
chairman and the ranking member or their designees.
  I further ask consent at 5:30 the Senate proceed to a vote on the 
confirmation of No. 791, the nomination of Virginia Maria Hernandez 
Covington, to be followed immediately by a vote on the confirmation of 
No. 792, the nomination of Michael Schneider, Sr.
  I further ask immediately following the vote, the President 
immediately be notified of the Senate's action and proceed to Calendar 
No. 787, the nomination of Michael Watson.
  Mr. REID. No objection.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  Mr. FRIST. Mr. President, in consultation with the Democratic leader, 
what we did with that unanimous consent would allow two judges to be 
voted on at 5:30, with the expectation that the third, which is Mr. 
Michael Watson, be confirmed by voice vote after that.
