             UNANIMOUS CONSENT REQUEST--EXECUTIVE CALENDAR

  Mr. REID. I ask unanimous consent that at a time to be determined by 
the majority leader, in consultation with Senator McConnell, the Senate 
proceed to executive session to consider Calendar No. 231; that there 
be 2 hours for debate equally divided in the usual form; that upon the 
use or yielding back of time the Senate proceed to vote without 
intervening action or debate on Calendar No. 231; 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; that 
any related statements be printed in the Record; that President Obama 
be immediately notified of the Senate's action and the Senate then 
resume legislative session.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection?
  Mr. McCONNELL. Mr. President, reserving the right to object, I 
mentioned to the majority leader I have to do some more consultation 
over here in order to clear this nomination, but for the moment I must 
object.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Objection is heard.
