“Mr. President, I rise today regarding the upcoming confirmation on Senator Jeff Sessions of Alabama to be Attorney General of the United States. For the past 3 years, I have had the great pleasure of working with Senator Sessions in this body. We served together on both the Senate Armed Services and Environment and Public Works Committees. Within those committees, as well as on other issues that have come before the Senate during that same time period, I have found that Senator Sessions is extremely forthright, hard-working, and Senator Sessions is honest. He has served Alabamans and all Americans well during his 20 years in the U.S. Senate. In addition to serving on the Armed Services and EPW Committees, he also serves on the Senate Judiciary and Budget Committees, all of which address vital aspects of our Federal system. Senator Sessions also had a distinguished career before he was elected the U.S. Senator from Alabama. After graduating from the University of Alabama with a law degree, Senator Sessions practiced law in Russellville and Mobile, AL. In 1975, he took the oath to defend the Constitution of the United States as an assistant U.S. attorney--the first step in a long and honorable career as a prosecutor. In 1981, Senator Sessions was nominated by President Reagan and confirmed by the U.S. Senate as the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Alabama. He served honorably in that role for 12 years.…”
