                statement on nomination of tena campbell

  Mr. HATCH. Mr. President, I rise today to urge my colleagues to 
support the nomination of Tena Campbell for the position of U.S. 
district judge for the district of Utah.
  As chairman of the Judiciary Committee, I am keenly aware of the 
importance of the Federal judiciary and its impact on our citizens; not 
only litigants whose cases are decided by Federal courts, but all 
Americans who, in so many ways, are affected in their daily lives by 
rulings handed down by Federal judges. It is for this reason that I 
have always believed that nominees for Federal judicial positions must 
be individuals of the highest caliber, both professionally and 
personally. I am pleased to say that Tena Campbell is such a nominee.
  Tena Campbell is an individual whose accomplishments and 
qualifications for the position of Federal district court judge speak 
for themselves. After working in private practice and in the 

[[Page S9580]]
Salt Lake County attorney's office, Mrs. Campbell became an assistant 
U.S. attorney in Utah, where she has served with distinction since 
1982. During that time, she has tried more than 60 felony cases--more 
cases than most lawyers try in their entire career.
  She has risen to become the Financial Institution Fraud Coordinator 
for the U.S. attorney's office, in charge of all cases involving 
federally insured institutions, in addition to prosecuting other 
complex white-collar crime cases. It is a measure of her dedication 
that despite the complexity and time-consuming nature of white-collar 
crime cases, she has also chosen to continue to prosecute violent crime 
cases.
  Throughout her service as an assistant U.S. attorney, Tena Campbell 
has earned the respect of the Federal bench and a reputation as a 
hardworking, tough, yet compassionate, prosecutor. She has received the 
highest rating, Well Qualified, from the American Bar Association. I am 
convinced that as a Federal judge, where she would be the first woman 
in Utah history to serve in that position, Tena Campbell will be fair, 
honest, and knowledgeable, and I am proud to support her nomination.
  For these reasons, I urge my colleagues to support her nomination.


        statement of the nomination of clifford gregory stewart

  Mr. LAUTENBERG. Mr. President, I rise in strong support of the 
nomination of Greg Stewart to be general counsel of the Equal 
Employment Opportunity Commission [EEOC].
  Greg Stewart is a native New Jerseyan and has most recently served as 
the director of the division of civil rights for the State of New 
Jersey. I believe that Greg Stewart has the qualifications and the 
experience to make an excellent general counsel at EEOC.
  Mr. President, Greg Stewart has been involved in civil rights issues 
for over 13 years. He has served as the director of the division of 
civil rights in New Jersey under both a Democratic and Republican 
governor. He has also worked for the department of the public advocate 
in New Jersey, again under Democratic and Republican Governors. During 
whatever free time he has had since he graduated from Rutgers Law 
School in 1981, he has taught constitutional and civil rights law at 
Rutgers School of Law and John Jay College.
  Greg Stewart has an outstanding scholar. He has a three degrees from 
Rutgers; a B.A. in political science, an M.A. in political science, and 
a J.D. from the Rutgers Law School in Newark. He has received several 
academic honors including an Eagleton Institute of Politics fellowship. 
In addition to his academic accomplishments, Greg has also been 
involved in community service. In fact, he received the Community 
Service Award for the New Jersey Conference of the NAACP branches and 
the Equal Justice Medal for the Legal Services of New Jersey.
  Mr. President, our country is on the brink of a national debate on 
affirmation action and civil rights laws. I think Greg Stewart can make 
an excellent contribution to this debate as general counsel to the 
EEOC. He has a vast amount of experience in civil rights law and he has 
served under Republicans and Democrats with a sincere respect for the 
law, objectivity, and a unique sense of balance. I am proud to support 
his nomination and urge the Senate to confirm his nomination to EEOC 
general counsel.
