ORDER OF PROCEDURE

Mr. McCONNELL. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the Senate proceed to the immediate consideration of S. Res. 393, which is at the desk; provided further that the Senate proceed immediately to a vote on the adoption of the resolution with no intervening action or debate. I further ask unanimous consent that following the vote, the preamble be agreed to and the motion to reconsider be laid upon the table. I further ask unanimous consent that following that vote the Senate proceed to executive session to the votes on the two previously debated judges; provided further that following those votes the Senate proceed to a vote on the confirmation of Executive Calendar No. 637, William D. Benton to be U.S. circuit court judge for the Eighth Circuit.

I further ask unanimous consent that following the votes the Senate proceed en bloc to the following nominations on the Executive Calendar: No. 433, No. 638, and No. 639.

I further ask unanimous consent that the nominations then be considered and confirmed en bloc, the motions to reconsider be laid upon the table, the President be immediately notified of the Senate's action, and that the Senate then return to legislative session.

Mr. REID. Mr. President, will the Senator modify his request so all of these votes will be 10-minute votes?

Mr. McCONNELL. I so modify my request.

Mr. BYRD. Mr. President, reserving the right to object-I probably won't object-will the Senator identify the first resolution to which he alluded?

Mr. McCONNELL. Will the Chair identify the resolution?
