On the recordSeptember 28, 1995
This is a question that is being presented to the Senate today under this motion to recommit on the basis of newly discovered information about the fitness of this judge to serve on the fifth circuit court of appeals. The motion to recommit is to give the Judiciary Committee an opportunity to review the facts, the evidence and the investigation that has just recently been concluded by the staff of the Senate Judiciary Committee, at the request of the chairman of that committee. I have been briefed by the staff on the findings of that investigation, and I was advised at the time I was briefed that no other Senator had requested a briefing, no member of the committee had been briefed, other than the chairman had been given information from the investigators. I am convinced on the basis of what I heard that the Judiciary Committee should reconvene and reconsider the nomination.
