[Congressional Record (Bound Edition), Volume 155 (2009), Part 12] [Senate] [Pages 15868-15873] [From the U.S. Government Publishing Office, www.gpo.gov]KOH NOMINATION Mr. SPECTER. Mr. President, I have sought recognition to speak on behalf of Dean Harold Koh, dean of the Yale Law School, for confirmation to the position of Legal Adviser to the Department of State. I know Dean Koh personally. I have known him for more than a decade while he has taught at Yale and been the dean of the Yale Law School. He spoke at a class reunion. I was in the Yale Law School class of 1956 and hosted a reunion here in the Capitol on June 6, 2008. He was greeted by a number of prominent Members of the Senate at that time. I make these comments about my personal association with him in the interest of full disclosure, but the thrust of my recommendation is based upon his extraordinary record. Harold Koh graduated from Harvard College, also Harvard Law School. He graduated Harvard College summa cum laude in 1975. He was Marshall Scholar at Oxford University, where he got a master's degree in 1977. He graduated cum laude from the Harvard Law School in 1980, where he was developments editor of the Harvard Law Review. He then clerked for Judge Richard Wilkey in the Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia, then for Supreme Court Justice Harry Blackmun. He then worked as a lawyer with the distinguished Washington firm Covington & Burling and then as Attorney-Adviser in the Department of Justice's Office of Legal Counsel. He then served in the Clinton administration as Assistant Secretary of State, was unanimously confirmed by the Senate, and served there from 1998 to 2001 when he returned to the Yale Law School, becoming its dean some 5 years ago. He comes from a very distinguished family. His father was the first Korean lawyer to study in the United States. He attended Harvard Law in 1949. He was then counsel for--the father, that is--for the first Korean democratic government. When a military coup occurred, he left that position. He was the first Korean to teach at the Yale Law School in 1969. Dean Koh has an extraordinary record. His curriculum vitae fills 8 pages of very small print. He has a long list of honorary degrees. He received a number of medals. His list of honors and awards goes on virtually indefinitely; his publications, books, and monographs occupy six and a half pages; his selected legal activities, another half a page; lectures that he performed, many; teaching activities, voluminous; boards of editors, professional affiliations, presentations, workshops, boards, bars, member of the bars with which he is associated. I ask unanimous consent to have this full text printed in the Record at the conclusion of my remarks. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered. (See exhibit 1.) Mr. SPECTER. It is going to be extensive, but it is worth it. I have been a Member of this body for some time. I have never seen anyone with this kind of a resume. And I am going to ask Senator Byrd the next time I see him if he knows of anybody who has a resume which is this extensive and this impressive. When you characterize the best and the brightest, Harold Koh would be at the top of the list. It would be hard to find anybody with a better record than Dean Harold Koh. His experience in international law is extensive, as in human rights. He would be an ideal Legal Adviser to the Department of State with his background and his experience. He has judgment, and he has balance. From my personal knowledge, I have total confidence that he will apply his legal knowledge and his background in a wise and sagacious way. He testified before the Judiciary Committee when I chaired the committee and in every way is exemplary. It is a little surprising to me that it is necessary to have a cloture vote, to have 60 votes to take up the nomination of Dean Koh. But considering the politics of Washington and considering the politics of the Senate, perhaps we should not be surprised at anything. But having a very high surprise threshold, I say that I am surprised Dean Koh would require 60 votes to reach a confirmation vote. I urge anybody who has any doubts about the caliber of this man to get out their glasses, or you may need a magnifying glass to read all of his accomplishments. But certainly it would be a travesty if a man such as this was not confirmed. In an era where we are trying so hard to bring quality people into government and so many people shun government because of the hoops and hurdles someone has to go through--Dean Koh would be exhibit A of the hoops and hurdles--it would be very discouraging for anybody else applying for a position which requires Senate confirmation. As strongly as I can, I urge his confirmation.
