Mr. McCONNELL. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that all

further, that if confirmed, the motion to reconsider be considered made
and laid upon the table and the President be immediately notified of
the Senate's action. I further ask that following the disposition of
the Bade nomination, the Senate proceed to legislative session and
resume consideration of the motion to proceed to S.J. Res. 88, with the
time until 4 p.m. equally divided between the two leaders or their
designees; finally, notwithstanding the provisions of rule XXII, that
the cloture motions with respect to the motions to proceed to S.J. Res.

The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
