The Senate stands adjourned until 2:00pm on Monday, July 21, 2014.

 

Following any leader remarks, there will be a period of morning business until 5:30pm, with senators permitted to speak therein for up to 10 minutes each and with the time equally divided and controlled between the two Leaders, or their designees.

 

At 5:30pm, the Senate will proceed to Executive Session and vote on confirmation of the following nominations:

 

  1. Executive Calendar #849 Julie E. Carnes, of Georgia, to be United States Circuit Judge for the Eleventh Circuit
  2. Executive Calendar #789, Michael Anderson Lawson, of California, for the rank of Ambassador during his tenure of service as Representative of the United States of America on the Council of the International Civil Aviation Organization
  3. Executive Calendar #537 Eunice S. Reddick, of the District of Columbia, to be Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the United States of America to the Republic of Niger

 We expect a roll call vote on the Carnes nomination and voice votes on the Lawson and Reddick nominations.
