                CONFIRM MIGUEL ESTRADA AS FEDERAL JURIST

  (Mr. DRIER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. DREIER. Madam Speaker, I have taken this time during 1-minutes to 
simply rise in strong support of some very important work that is 
taking place, and that is the prospect of confirming Miguel Estrada.
  I do not personally know this man, but I wanted to say, Madam 
Speaker, that I have read about his record and I have talked to many 
people who know him very well; and I happen to believe that he would be 
a superb jurist. And having spoken with people of both political 
parties, I have heard very good things about him. And I would simply 
like for the record to make it clear that I believe that he would be a 
phenomenally good jurist, and I hope very much that will take place.
