Senator McConnell has filed
cloture on Executive Calendar #847, the nomination of Gina Haspell, of
Kentucky, to be Director of the Central Intelligence Agency. There is an effort
to complete action on the nomination today, and if not today, this week.
Senator Paul
has made a motion to proceed to S.Con.Res.36 (5-year balanced budget). There
are approximately 50 of the 90 minutes remaining in the order. If all time is
used, the vote in relation to S.Con.Res.36 would begin at approximately
11:25am.
Before the
end of the week (as early as today), Senator McConnell may file cloture on the
Baiocco nomination (CPSC), the House message on VA Choice, 2 McWilliams
nominations (FDIC), and the Evans nomination (Amb. To Luxembourg) for
consideration next week.
