On the recordOctober 18, 2000
I want to talk about the stalled nomination of Bonnie Campbell for the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals. Bonnie Campbell's name is not on the agenda. We are in session. We are going to be in Friday. We are going to be here next week, yet the Judiciary Committee again refuses to allow Bonnie Campbell's name to come out for a vote. It is bottled up. All we want is a vote. Bonnie Campbell has strong bipartisan support. Both Senators from Iowa support her. Senator Grassley, a Republican; I, a Democrat. She has great support from law enforcement and service groups. The one person who has been primarily responsible for the implementation of that act since its inception has been the head of the Office of Violence Against Women in the Justice Department. Who has that been? Bonnie Campbell. She has done a great job.
