Good morning, everybody. On today's agenda, we have seven nominations. We'll vote on Kurt Wall, Kurt Almey, Leslie Murphy, Janine Pirro, Eric Siebert, and Nicholas Chase and Daniel Rosen. That's all for U.S. attorneys. I think they're highly qualified nominees. Two of these nominees have received blue slips from four Democratic senators, so I thank Senator Klobuchar, Senator Smith, Kaine, and Warner for working to select qualified nominees. Their efforts are a testament to the way this process should work. I look forward to supporting them and encourage my colleagues to do the same. We'll also have the following three bills listed to be voted on. 1023, the TRACE Act. 1029, the Opioid Overdose Data Collection Enhancement Act. And thirdly, the acronym that we call the CHILD Act of 2025. The three bills are part of a bipartisan effort tackling crime and protecting vulnerable populations. Each equips law enforcement and other decision makers with critical information either about the last known locations for missing persons, hot spots for drug overdoses, or criminal background of contractors responsible for taking care of children. I want to thank Ranking Member Durbin and his entire staff for working with me to put together this agenda.
I'd also like to thank the members of the committee for collaborating on these public safety bills. Before we get to the agenda, I'd like to say a few words about last week's meeting. and to share my perspective. At the beginning of last week's markup, I announced, and I quote myself, if we haven't voted before 1030, I'll plan to call to the vote on all nominations at that time.
