Mr. CRAPO. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the EPW Committee be discharged from further consideration of H.R. 3118 and S. 1814, en bloc, and the Senate move to the consideration of these two bills, en bloc.

Mr. REID. Mr. President, reserving the right to object, I am going to let these matters go forward, but I have spoken personally with the chairman of the EPW Committee, which has jurisdiction over these matters. I have told him I am going to be very direct in my opposing anything that comes out of the committee until we get something resolved regarding a nomination of Gregg Jaczko , which has been sent here from the White House. As I said, I am going to let this go. This is fair warning to my distinguished chairman and friend, Senator Inhofe. I am not going to let anything else move, period, until we get a hearing date set on Gregg Jaczko . Here is a man who is a distinguished scholar in physics; he worked in the Senate; he is a Democrat, and we are entitled to have a Democrat on the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. It has been sent here by the White House. That doesn't happen very often.

I don't want this to be held up in committee. If it is, everything will be held up in committee. With that, I have no objection.

The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will state the bills by title.
