On the recordApril 23, 1998
first I want to thank my distinguished colleague, the subcommittee chairman, for his comments. And I think that the chairman has hit the nail on the head: there are some procedural defects in what is currently on the books. I agree that the procedure that was being proposed, a blanket preemptory challenge, is not the best way to deal with this. I would be the first to concede that there are problems with the current system. These problems are as diverse as the personalities of those judges who might be inclined to hear a case. I would be honored to work with my colleague in this particular area to fashion a more appropriate remedy. So I want to thank the gentleman for his comments and for all the work he has done on this bill.
