Mr. SCHUMER. Mr. President, before we adjourn this evening, in a few moments, I will move to confirm Mr. Tom Nides as the next Ambassador to Israel.

I am glad the Republican hold on Mr. Nides has been lifted, and we will have an Ambassador in Israel to help maintain and strengthen the U.S.-Israel relationship.

Mr. Nides, as I have known him for many years, is just the right fit. He is a hard-working man. He is a bright man. He has tremendous experience, and he cares very much about strengthening the U.S.-Israel relationship. So this will be a good day for that relationship because we are going to confirm him very, very shortly.

452, Thomas R. Nides, of Minnesota, to be the Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the United States of America to the State of Israel, and that the Senate vote on the nomination without intervening action or debate.
