  The nomination was confirmed.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The majority leader.
  Mr. REID. We are going to have one more vote tonight. Starting at 
11:15 tomorrow we could have up to five votes. So that is it for 
tonight.
  We have yielded back the time, but I ask unanimous consent that 
Senator McCain be recognized for up to 1 minute.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Arizona.
  Mr. McCAIN. I would like to mention to my colleagues that with this 
vote we will be making history in some respects. We should all be proud 
that this nominee, Diane Humetewa of the Hopi Tribe, will be the first 
Native-American woman to be on the Federal bench.
  I would appreciate a positive vote. It is a proud moment for her, her 
tribe, and for Native Americans.
  I yield the floor.
