  Mr. DURBIN. As in executive session, I ask unanimous consent that on

Senate proceed to executive session to consider Calendar No. 186, the 
nomination of Thomas Perez to be Assistant Attorney General, and that 
once the nomination is reported, the cloture motion which will be at 
the desk be stated; further, that the reading of the names then be 
waived and the mandatory quorum be waived; that immediately thereafter, 
the Senate debate the nomination until 12:15 p.m., with the time 
equally divided and controlled between Senators Leahy and Sessions or 
their designees; that at 12:15 p.m., the Senate proceed to vote on the 
motion to invoke cloture on the nomination; that if cloture is invoked 
on the nomination, then all postcloture time be yielded back and the 
Senate then vote immediately on confirmation of the nomination; that 
upon confirmation, the motion to reconsider be considered made and laid 
upon the table; that no further motions be in order, the President be 
immediately notified of the Senate's action, and the Senate resume 
legislative session; provided further that if cloture is not invoked on 
the nomination, then a motion to reconsider the vote by which cloture 
was not invoked on the nomination be considered entered and the Senate
