"I am proud to recommend that you recommend to the full Senate that we confirm the nomination of Harold Hongju Koh."

"I very much hope that you will favorably report on the nomination of Harold Hongju Koh--a great American--to this important post."

"Dean Koh is a brilliant scholar--one of the great legal minds of his generation."

"It is a reflection of the bipartisan respect for Dean Koh that, when President Clinton nominated him... he was unanimously confirmed."
