Summary

The Senate Finance Committee agreed to report two White House nominees and to reconvene briefly to allow an off‑floor vote at 11 a.m.; no final vote was recorded in the hearing transcript.

The Senate Finance Committee on the morning of the hearing voted to report two White House nominees and set a schedule for an off‑floor confirmation vote. Chairman Mike Crapo said the committee "meet[s] today to favorably consider reporting the nominations of Joe Barloon" (deputy USTR nominee) "and Brian Morrissey" (nominee for Treasury general counsel) and outlined plans to reconvene for voting.

Crapo told members that after statements the committee would "recess briefly and then proceed to our nominations hearing at 10:15" and "reconvene to vote on these nominations off the Senate floor at 11AM during the first vote." Ranking Member Ron Wyden delivered opening remarks opposing both nominees and urged colleagues to vote no.

The transcript shows the committee’s procedural agreement and schedule but does not record a final roll‑call vote on either nomination.
