On the recordMay 5, 2010
I am rising in support of the nominee. Any delays that there have been have not been for this particular nominee, nor by the Wyoming delegation at all. This is a position that has been open now for over 2 years. The first nominee for this position got a hearing but could not get a vote in committee. The nomination ran out and we now have a new nominee, who is Mrs. Freudenthal, Nancy Freudenthal, who is also the first lady of Wyoming. But she, in her own right, has been an attorney, has served with three different Governors in the State of Wyoming, and does a phenomenal job. She has her law degree from the University of Wyoming and would make an outstanding person to fill in this roll. Both Senator Barrasso and I are strongly in support of her and have been pushing for her nomination since we first started.
