  SUPPORTING JANICE ROGERS BROWN ON HER NOMINATION TO THE DISTRICT OF 
                   COLUMBIA CIRCUIT COURT OF APPEALS

  (Mr. DANIEL E. LUNGREN of California asked and was given permission 
to address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his 
remarks.)
  Mr. DANIEL E. LUNGREN of California. Mr. Speaker, I rise in support 
of the nomination to the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals of Janice Rogers 
Brown.
  In the discussion over the filibuster, much has been lost with 
respect to the individuals who have been nominated, that is, who they 
are as real people.
  Janice Rogers Brown is an outstanding member of the California 
Supreme Court. As attorney general of the State of California, I had 
the opportunity to review her record and on two occasions to vote to 
put her on the appellate court and then on the California Supreme 
Court.
  She has worked in various different areas in the legal field. One of 
the outstanding periods of her work was as legal affairs secretary to 
Governor Pete Wilson, who on many occasions commented on the 
outstanding job she did for him, the tremendous legal mind she had, and 
the ability for her to listen to all sides and then come to a 
considered opinion.
  Mr. Speaker, in the effort to resolve the problem in the other body, 
I hope that Janice Rogers Brown will not be left behind. She is an 
outstanding candidate, someone who would do well to serve on the 
District of Columbia Circuit Court of Appeals, and someone who has had 
an outstanding record as a member of the California Supreme Court.
