                             FEDERAL JUDGES

  Mr. DORGAN. One point about Federal judges. We are nearing the end of 
this congressional session. Some of us believe this Congress ought not 
adjourn until the majority party does for us what we did for them--yes, 
even in election years--and that is clear off the calendar and clear 
through the committee, judges, Federal judges that have been appointed 
by this President. The fact is, the record is not good. We have seen 
stutter-stepping and stalling. Some of us are going to decide, one of 
these days, nothing more is going to happen in this Senate until those 
many judges out there waiting for confirmation by this Senate are 
brought before this Senate for a vote.
