On the recordSeptember 28, 1995
I will conclude with these three points. I think that Justice Dennis' judgment in the Tulane matter clearly should be questioned and should be reviewed by the Judiciary Committee as a whole. I think there is no question that this is a judge who has been an activist, and there are many decisions that back up just the two that I cited that raise questions about his activism. I think that should cause real concern in the Senate in confirming his nomination. I urge that this nomination be recommitted to the Judiciary Committee. I yield the floor.

My recommendation to the Congress and to the president would be, quit campaigning, quit having press conferences. Sit down at a round table and negotiate a deal.
