“I stand today to ask my colleagues to support H.R. 1303 which will designate the new courthouse building in Trenton as the ``Clarkson S. Fisher Federal Building and U.S. Courthouse.'' This legislation passed the House on May 4, 1993 and was approved by the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works on January 27, 1994. By naming this new courthouse after Judge Clarkson S. Fisher we are recognizing a man who has dedicated some 35 years of his life to public service. This tribute is appropriate and richly deserved by a man who has given so much to the State of New Jersey and to our country. The greatest tribute to Judge Fisher's abilities comes from his colleagues. Judge Fisher's fellow judges have requested that Congress bestow this honor on a man whom they feel typifies fairness, compassion and impartiality, the highest qualities that members of their profession strive everyday to achieve.”
