            NOMINATION OF HARRIET MIERS TO THE SUPREME COURT

  Mr. WARNER. Mr. President, I join the distinguished majority leader 
and others who have spoken on behalf of the President's nomination of a 
very distinguished member of the bar of the State of Texas and, indeed, 
the profession of law all across America, where she has, through many 
years of long and arduous adherence to the profession of law, 
distinguished herself in so many ways.
  I had the privilege over the years of working with Harriet Miers. I 
have the highest respect as a fellow lawyer for her professional 
abilities and her standards of ethics and conduct. I think she is a 
superb nomination. I commend the President of the United States. If I 
may say, in this season of our sports, he has hit another home run.
  Mr. President, well done.
