                     NOMINATION OF ALICE S. FISHER

  Mr. GRASSLEY. Mr. President, I have notified Senate leadership of my 
intent to object to any unanimous consent request relating to the 
nomination of Alice S. Fisher to the position of Assistant Attorney 
General. This action has nothing to do with Ms. Fisher or her 
qualifications for the position to which she has been nominated. I have 
taken this action because there are a number of outstanding issues 
regarding the activities and operation of the Justice Department that 
should be resolved before considering this nomination. I am hopeful 
that, with the cooperation of the Justice Department, these issues can 
be resolved shortly.
