    Nomination for United States District Court Judges
    November 19, 1993

        The President nominated eleven individuals to be U.S. district court
    judges. They are:

        Fred Biery, Western District of Texas
        W. Royal Furgeson, Western District of Texas
        Orlando Garcia, Western District of Texas
        John Hannah, Eastern District of Texas
        Janis Graham Jack, Southern District of Texas
        Franklin D. Burgess, Western District of Washington
        Michael J. Davis, District of Minnesota

        Michael A. Ponsor, District of Massachusetts
        Marjorie O. Rendell, Eastern District of Pennsylvania
        Lesley Brooks Wells, Northern District of Ohio

        ``As the Senate completes its work for this session, I am very
    pleased at the progress we have made in filling judicial vacancies,''
    said the President. ``We have nominated more Federal judges by
    Thanksgiving than any of my recent predecessors and have appointed
    judges who are marked by both their excellence and commitment to public
    service. I intend to continue on this course when the Congress returns
    next year.''
