    Statement on Senate Action Confirming Ruth Bader Ginsburg as a Supreme
    Court Associate Justice
    August 3, 1993

        I am extremely pleased at the swift and determined action by the
    U.S. Senate in overwhelmingly confirming Ruth Bader Ginsburg to the
    United States Supreme Court. I want to thank Chairman Biden, Senator
    Hatch, and their colleagues on the Judiciary Committee and the Senate as
    a whole for prompt consideration of her nomination.

        As President, I am proud of having nominated such an outstanding
    jurist who demonstrated in the confirmation process tremendous
    intellect, integrity, comprehension of the law, and compassion for the
    concerns of all Americans. I am confident that she will be an
    outstanding addition to the Court and will serve with distinction for
    many years.
