    Statement on Senate Confirmation of Thomas B. Griffith as a United States Court of Appeals Judge for the District
    of Columbia Circuit
    June 14, 2005

        I commend the Senate for confirming Tom Griffith to the United
    States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. Tom is an
    accomplished and experienced lawyer who will bring a broad range of
    legal experience to the court. He has served in the important post of
    Senate Legal Counsel, as general counsel at a major university, and in
    private practice. I look forward to the Senate's prompt consideration
    and up-or-down votes for my other judicial nominees.
