The Congressional Record is a unique source of public documentation. It started in 1873, documenting nearly all the major and minor policies being discussed and debated.
“EXECUTIVE CALENDAR” mentioning the U.S. Dept. of Commerce was published in the Senate section on pages S4059 on April 8, 2004.
The publication is reproduced in full below:
EXECUTIVE CALENDAR
______
EXECUTIVE SESSION
Mr. FRIST. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the Senate immediately proceed to executive session to consider the following nominations on today's Executive Calendar: Calendar Nos. 581, 585, and 597.
I further ask unanimous consent that the nominations be confirmed, the motions to reconsider be laid upon the table, the President be immediately notified of the Senate's action, and the Senate then return to legislative session.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
The nominations considered and confirmed are as follows:
department of commerce
Rhonda Keenum, of Mississippi, to be Assistant Secretary of Commerce and Director General of the United States and Foreign Commercial Service, vice Maria Cino, resigned.
department of the treasury
Brian Carlton Roseboro, of New Jersey, to be an Under Secretary of the Treasury.
department of energy
Susan Johnson Grant, of Virginia, to be Chief Financial Officer, Department of Energy.
department of the treasury
Donald Korb, of Ohio, to be Chief Counsel for the Internal Revenue Service and an Assistant General Counsel in the Department of the Treasury.
Mr. DASCHLE. Mr. President, I might just say for the Record that I have appreciated the opportunity to work through some of these nominations. This has been a matter of concern and interest to us for some time. This first installment accommodates some of our needs and I know some of the needs the White House has as well.
I hope we can do more in the coming weeks. This is one indication that we are making some progress.
I am pleased to note that we were able to do this prior to the recess.
I yield the floor.
