"Judge Scalia is also widely regarded in his profession as a first-class intellect, a persuasive jurist, and a warm, caring person."

"I urge Federal, State, and local officials, as well as leaders of civic, educational, and religious organizations to conduct ceremonies and programs that day to commemorate the occasion."

"Both Chief Justice Rehnquist and Associate Justice Scalia will be strong and eloquent voices for the proper role of the judiciary and the rights of victims."

"We place a high value on character and hope everyone appreciates this and takes it into account."
