                      NOMINATION OF GEORGE DANIELS

  Mr. SCHUMER. Mr. President, I am extremely pleased to rise today to 
speak about George Daniels, who has just been confirmed as a Federal 
Judge in the Southern District of New York.
  George Daniels is uniquely qualified to serve in this position. His 
work experience is as diverse and impressive as it gets: He has been a 
Legal Aid Defense Attorney and a prosecutor; he has worked at a top New 
York Law firm and served as a Law Professor; he worked in politics as 
Counsel to the Mayor of New York, and, of course, he has been a Judge--
first on the Criminal Court of the City of New York and then as a 
Justice on the Supreme Court of the State of New York. I know he has 
the respect and the admiration from individuals on both sides of the 
aisle.
  I am extremely pleased to see him confirmed as a Federal Judge. I 
know he will be an extraordinary addition to the Southern District of 
New York bench.
