On the recordSeptember 8, 2000
Finally, Mr. President, I say through you to the majority leader, I also hope, in the limited things that you have to do next week, that you would give some consideration to the problems that Senator Levin and Senator Harkin have regarding judges. Both of these Senators have talked to Senator Daschle and me and are very concerned. I know they have been in conversation with you and Senator Hatch. We hope that there can be some progress made on the requests of these two fine Senators.
