I say to the Senator from Utah, I have read an editorial from the Riverside Press Enterprise in California which said in response to this fishing expedition on the confidential memoranda that the Democrats claim they want to review Mr. Estrada's legal views: One suspects that is not the role the Democrats have in mind for their memoranda. They probably hope to expose Mr. Estrada's conservative views, which no one doubts he holds, in hopes of defeating the nomination or at least scoring some political points. Does the Senator agree that is the reason they are doing what they are doing, trying to score political points?
