“I cannot say it more clearly than this: President Bush could not have made a better choice in nominating Larry Thompson as Deputy Attorney General of the United States. I have had the pleasure to know Larry Thompson for several years. He is the consummate professional: quiet yet strong, a legal scholar who exercises enormous common sense, a man who will put principle ahead of politics every time. He is a man of great substance and little ego. He is not one to grandstand or grab headlines. Mr. Thompson brings to the Department of Justice a solid record of experience. He has built a reputation as a tough prosecutor, an adept litigator, a respected scholar and a skilled manager. More importantly than that, Mr. Thompson comes with no agenda. He will base every decision on what is right, not what is popular or politically expedient. He will bring to the Justice Department the same wisdom, the same thoughtfulness, and the same steady demeanor upon which he has built his stellar career.”
