LEGISLATIVE SESSION 

UNANIMOUS CONSENT 

AGREEMENT—S. 3001 

Mr. REID. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that if the Senate receives from the House a correcting resolution to correct the enrollment of S. 

3001 that is identical to the matter 

which is currently at the desk, then it 

be considered to have been agreed to 

and the motion to reconsider be laid 

upon the table; that if the House concurrent resolution is not identical, 

then this order be vitiated. 

The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without 

objection, it is so ordered. 

f 

CONVENING OF THE 111th 

CONGRESS 

Mr. REID. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent the Senate proceed to 

the immediate consideration of H.J. 

Res. 100, convening of the 111th Congress. 

The PRESIDING OFFICER. The joint 

resolution will be stated by title. 

The legislative clerk read as follows: 

A joint resolution (H.J. Res. 100) appointing the day for the convening of the first session of the One Hundred Eleventh Congress 

and establishing the date for the counting of 

the electoral votes for President and Vice 

President cast by the electors in December 

2008. 

There being no objection, the Senate 

proceeded to consider the joint resolution. 

Mr. REID. I ask unanimous consent 

the joint resolution be read three 

times, passed, the motion to reconsider 

be laid upon the table, with no intervening action or debate. 

The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without 

objection, it is so ordered. 

The joint resolution (H.J. Res. 100) 

was ordered to a third reading, was 

read the third time, and passed. 

Mr. REID. Mr. President, I suggest 

the absence of a quorum. 

The PRESIDING OFFICER. The 

clerk will call the roll. 

The legislative clerk proceeded to 

call the roll. 

Mr. LEVIN. I ask unanimous consent 

that the order for the quorum call be 

rescinded. 

The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without 

objection, it is so ordered. 

EXECUTIVE SESSION 

EXECUTIVE CALENDAR 

Mr. LEVIN. Mr. President, I ask 

unanimous consent that the Senate 

proceed to executive session to consider Executive Calendar No. 756, that 

the nomination be confirmed and the 

motion to reconsider be laid upon the 

table, that no further motions be in 

order, that any statements relating to 

the nomination be printed in the 

RECORD, the President be immediately 

notified of the Senate’s action, and the 

Senate resume legislative session. 

The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without 

objection, it is so ordered. 

The nomination considered and confirmed is as follows: 

DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE

Jeffrey Leigh Sedgwick, of Massachusetts, 

to be an Assistant Attorney General. 

Mr. LEAHY. Mr. President, today, 

the Senate confirmed five more executive nominations that were reported by 

the Judiciary Committee, including 

the nomination of Greg Garre to be Solicitor General of the United States, 

one of the highest and most prestigious 

positions at the Department of Justice. 

The nominations considered today 

also include Jeffrey Leigh Sedgwick to 

run the Department’s Office of Justice 

Programs, George W. Venables to be 

United States Marshal for the Southern District of California, Brian 

Albritton to be United States Attorney 

for the Middle District of Florida, and 

another that I have agreed to discharge 

from Committee: Dennis Michael Klein 

to be United States Marshal for the 

Eastern District of Kentucky. I thank 

Senator KENNEDY for his expedited consideration of Mr. KLEIN’s nomination. 

He has long been focused on maintaining the qualifications of those appointed to be U.S. Marshals. 

We tried as well to move forward 

with the President’s nominations to 

the Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board and the Sentencing Commission, but Republican holds prevented us from making progress and 

confirming President Bush’s nominees 

to those important posts. 

After today’s confirmations, we have 

confirmed 40 executive nominations 

this Congress, including the confirmations of 13 U.S. attorneys, 9 U.S. marshals, a member of the U.S. Sentencing 

Commission, another Attorney General, Deputy Attorney General, Associate Attorney General, and Solicitor 

General. Eighteen of those nominations will have been confirmed this 

year alone, despite this being a Presidential election year. 

Of course, we have considered these 

executive nominations while simultaneously moving forward with the confirmation of dozens of President Bush’s 

judicial nominations. I have spoken 

many times about the partisan actions 

of the Republican-led Senate that created a judicial vacancies crisis by not 

considering circuit court nominees in 

1996, 1997 and 1998. Those years included
