           UNANIMOUS CONSENT AGREEMENT--EXECUTIVE NOMINATIONS

  Mr. FRIST. As in executive session, I ask unanimous consent that all 
nominations received by the Senate during the 109th Congress remain in 
status quo, notwithstanding the August 4, 2006, adjournment of the 
Senate and the provisions of rule XXXI, paragraph 6, of the Standing 
Rules of the Senate, with the following exceptions: Calendar Nos. 37, 
169, 553, 614, 624, 572, 881, 882; in committees, PNs 719, 1315, 193, 
1297, 778.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  Mr. FRIST. Mr. President, a number of the nominations we just went 
through were sent back. For clarification, they were sent back based on 
objections from the minority. So it is clear, they are not coming from 
me as the reason they are being sent back.
