                        SECRETARY OF AGRICULTURE

  Mr. McCONNELL. Mr. President, I am not aware of any problems with 
regard to the nominee for Secretary of Agriculture, and we are running 
a hotline on this side. I anticipate that it will be cleared shortly, 
and that will be a confirmation we hopefully can get out of the way at 
some point this afternoon.
