           CONFIRMATION OF NICHOLAS G. GARAUFIS, OF NEW YORK

  Mr. MOYNIHAN. Mr. President, I rise to express great appreciation for 
the confirmation of Nicholas G. Garaufis to be United States District 
Court Judge for the Eastern District of New York. I want to thank my 
colleague from New York, Senator Schumer, and Senator Leahy, Chairman 
Hatch, Senator Lott, Senator Daschle, and all Senators for confirming 
the nomination of Judge Garaufis. Hailing from Bayside, New York, he is 
a graduate of both Columbia College and Columbia School of Law and for 
the last five years has served as Chief Counsel for the Federal 
Aviation Administration. He is superbly qualified and I have every 
confidence he will make an excellent addition to the Eastern District 
Court.
