                     Nomination of Michael Brennan

  Following the confirmation of Judge Engelhardt, the Senate will 
proceed to the consideration of Michael Brennan of Wisconsin to serve 
as a U.S. circuit judge for the Seventh Circuit. Mr. Brennan's 
nomination comes as only the latest distinction in a career marked by 
truly impressive legal accomplishments. In both public service and 
private practice, this graduate of Notre Dame and Northwestern 
University School of Law has developed a reputation for a keen legal 
mind and an unwavering commitment to the rule of law.
  According to current and former peers on the Milwaukee County Circuit 
Court, Mr. Brennan has ``the mind, heart and soul of a great jurist'' 
and a ``keen understanding of the legal issues in sophisticated and 
complex litigation.''
  Like Judge Engelhardt, Mr. Brennan has my full support, and I 
encourage my colleagues to join me in voting to confirm another fine 
nominee this week.
