John Warner: “This nominee, John Roberts, is indeed one of the most outstanding that I have ever had the privilege of presenting”

It is a moving experience for me to reenter this room. I served on this committee for 30 years.

You will carry with you for the rest of your life the recollections of the work that you have done for one of America's most valued assets, the men and the women and their families of the armed services of the United States.

Good luck to each and every one of you, and to the importance of the confirmation process.

This country is greatly strengthened by the will of such people to step forward and do, time and time again, public service.
