"I certainly wouldn't want to associate myself with the statement that Jim Eastland is an anomaly or an anachronism that needs to be purged."

"I feel it is binding on me to carry those commitments out."

"I will nominate John Ferren to fill the vacancy on the District of Columbia Court of Appeals caused by the death of Judge Austin Fickling."

"President Carter does not feel that any President has the right to break the law."
