  Mr. REID. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the Senate 
proceed to the consideration of Calendar No. 645; that the Senate 
proceed to vote without intervening action or debate on the nomination; 
that the motion to reconsider be considered made and laid upon the 
table, with no intervening action or debate; that no further motions be 
in order to the nomination; that any statements related to the 
nomination be printed in the Record; and that President Obama be 
immediately notified of the Senate's action.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  If there is no further debate, the question is, Will the Senate

of the Treasury?
  The nomination was confirmed.
