“Absolutely, I say to my friend. I am not proposing that this Congress insert its greater wisdom for that of the Judicial Conference. I am proposing that we accede to the wisdom of the Judicial Conference and where it, for instance, has recommended two additional permanent Federal judgeships in Nevada, that the Congress should sanction them. The reason for the recommendation of two additional judges in Nevada is that, of the 93 districts, including those in the 50 States plus the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico, of that number, the Nevada district ranks eighth in terms of caseload. Its caseload of 736 cases per judge is 171 percent of the stated standard that is used by the Judicial Conference to indicate that new judges are needed.”
