                         EXECUTIVE NOMINATIONS

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, as in executive session, I ask unanimous 
consent that the nominations to the Office of Inspector General, except 
the Office of Inspector General of the Central Intelligence Agency, be 
referred in each case to the committee having the primary jurisdiction 
over the department, agency or entity, and if and when reported in each 
case, then to the Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental 
Affairs for not to exceed 20 calendar days, except in cases when the 
20-day period expires while the Senate is in recess, the committee 
shall have an additional 5 calendar days after the Senate reconvenes to 
report the nomination and that if the nomination is not reported after 
the expiration of that period, the nomination be automatically 
discharged and placed on the executive calendar.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.

                          ____________________
