      INTERNATIONAL MONETARY FUND; UNITED STATES GOVERNOR OF THE 
 INTERNATIONAL BANK FOR RECONSTRUCTION AND DEVELOPMENT; UNITED STATES 
GOVERNOR OF THE INTER-AMERICAN DEVELOPMENT BANK; UNITED STATES GOVERNOR

  Mr. DURBIN. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that cloture 
motion on Calendar No. 63 be withdrawn and that the Senate proceed to 
vote on confirmation of the nomination; that the motion to reconsider 
be made and laid upon the table with no intervening action or debate; 
that no further motions be in order; and that the President be 
immediately notified of the Senate's action.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  Under the previous order, the motion to invoke cloture on the Lew 
nomination is withdrawn.
  Is there any further debate? If not, the question is, will the Senate 
advise and consent on agreeing to the nomination of Jacob J. Lew, of 
New York, to be United States Governor of the International Monetary 
Fund; United States Governor of the International Bank for 
Reconstruction and Development; United States Governor of the Inter-
American Development Bank; United States Governor of the European Bank 
for Reconstruction and Development?
  The nomination was confirmed.
  Mr. DURBIN. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent the cloture vote 
on the Watt nomination occur immediately following the swearing in of 
Senator-elect Booker, of New Jersey, tomorrow, and the Senate proceed 
to legislative session and a period of morning business for debate 
only, with Senators permitted to speak therein for up to 10 minutes 
each.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
