  Mr. DURBIN. I ask unanimous consent that the Senate proceed to

advanced to the various parliamentary stages up to and including the 
presentation of the resolutions of ratification; that any committee 
understanding, declaration, or condition be agreed to as applicable; 
that any statements be printed in the Record; and that the Senate take 
one vote on the resolutions of ratification to be considered as 
separate votes; further, that when the resolutions of ratification are 
voted on, the motions to reconsider be considered made and laid on the 
table, the President be immediately notified of the Senate's action, 
and the Senate resume legislative session, all without intervening 
action or debate.
