  Mr. LEAHY. Mr. President, because of the lateness of the hour, I am 
willing to forgo a rollcall on this nominee and a voice vote will be 
sufficient.

consent to the nomination of Stephen Joseph Murphy III, of Michigan, to 
be United States District Judge for the Eastern District of Michigan?
  The nomination was confirmed.
  Mr. LEAHY. Mr. President, I thank my colleagues, I thank the Chair, 
and I thank the distinguished leader for helping us to get here.
