                              Nominations

  Madam President, on another matter, building on last week's progress, 
the Senate will consider two more of President Trump's outstanding 
judicial nominees, in addition to another executive branch nominee, 
this week.
  The first item of business is the nomination of Paul Matey of New 
Jersey to the Third Circuit Court of Appeals. Mr. Matey holds degrees 
from Scranton and Seton Hall Universities, as well as clerkships on our 
Nation's Federal courts. He has served the people of his State in the 
Office of U.S. Attorney in New Jersey and has built an impressive 
record.
  I hope my colleagues will join me in voting to advance and confirm 
Mr. Matey and these other distinguished nominees so the Senate can 
fulfill our responsibility to the American people.
