The committee will also vote on U.S. Attorney nominee Mark Green of the Eastern District of Oklahoma at its meeting Thursday.

The panel has yet to schedule votes for another four would-be U.S. Attorneys. The committee has approved 70 of President Barack Obama’s U.S. Attorney nominees, 66 of whom have won Senate confirmation. There are 93 U.S. Attorney posts.
