                        Nomination of Chris Spear

  Mr. HUTCHINSON. Mr. President, I rise today in strong support of 
President Bush's nomination of Chris Spear to be Assistant Secretary of 
Labor for Policy. I truly believe that President Bush could not have 
selected a more competent person for this crucial position nor could he 
have picked a person of better character. Chris served as my 
Legislative Director for over a year before his nomination. In that 
time, I found his counsel to be invaluable and of great aid in 
forwarding my legislative priorities, and I am proud to say that he is 
not only a former employee but also a good friend. And, I know that I 
am not alone in wishing Chris well today, as he has previously served 
on the staffs of my good friends Senator Enzi and former Senator Alan 
Simpson. I wish Chris the best of luck in his new position and 
continued success in his career.
