“In a couple moments the Senate will approve Robert C. Brack for district court judge of New Mexico. It is not always easy to find somebody, when you recommend them and they have finished this process and received, as in this case, full approval of the Democratic Senator--the committee approved them rather quickly--it is not always easy to find that kind of person. And then secondly, it is not always easy to know that you have really got the right individual, that they are going to do justice to that terrific responsibility which is theirs for such a long period of time under our Constitution. But in this man's case, I am certain of both. I am certain he is as good as there is. Far be it for me to say he is the very best in New Mexico. Who knows that? But he is very good at the law. Secondly, after being good at law, he had a shot at being a judge, and he was a very good judge at the district court level where you have general jurisdiction. When you add all that together, you just feel good about it. And you can end up telling the Senate, thank you this evening in advance and the President, thank you for sending this man to New Mexico to become a district judge in our State.”
