                      NOMINATION OF JEFFREY ROSEN

  Mr. McCONNELL. Mr. President, later today, the Senate will vote to 
advance another well-qualified nominee, Jeffrey Rosen, to be Deputy 
Secretary of the Department of Transportation. Mr. Rosen has extensive 
experience serving at both the Office of Management and Budget and at 
the Department of Transportation. When he last came before the Senate 
to be the Chief Legal Officer of the Department of Transportation, he 
was confirmed by voice vote. It is disappointing that we had to file 
cloture on this bipartisan choice this time around.
  Mr. Rosen's work in both the private and public sectors has given him 
a unique insight into the budgetary and regulatory challenges that 
infrastructure projects face. I look forward to the Senate advancing 
his nomination later this afternoon.
