               REGARDING THE NOMINATION OF MIGUEL ESTRADA

  (Mr. BRADLEY of New Hampshire asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. BRADLEY of New Hampshire. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to support 
the nomination of Miguel Estrada to the United States Court of Appeals 
for the District of Columbia. Mr. Estrada has proven himself to be an 
extremely qualified candidate for this position. A lawyer with a 
distinguished educational background, Mr. Estrada has argued 15 cases 
before the United States Supreme Court, all before the age of 40, which 
is truly an accomplishment. In addition, he has received a unanimous 
``well qualified'' evaluation from the American Bar Association, its 
highest ranking.
  Mr. Estrada has spent time at the Justice Department under both 
Republican and Democratic administrations and has demonstrated a 
commitment to upholding the integrity of the law. He has been called 
``an extraordinarily legal talent'' and ``genuinely compassionate'' by 
a former Solicitor General, two accolades which lend much support and 
credibility to his nomination.
