    Statement on Senate Confirmation of Alice S. Fisher To Be Assistant
    Attorney General for the Criminal Division at the Department of Justice

    September 19, 2006

        I am pleased that the Senate acted today to confirm Alice S. Fisher
    as Assistant Attorney General for the Criminal Division at the
    Department of Justice.
        Alice is a talented and effective public servant. As Acting
    Assistant Attorney General, she has led hundreds of DOJ attorneys and
    other staff in their efforts to combat terrorism, gang violence, drug
    trafficking, corruption, fraud, and crimes against children. I am
    confident she will continue to dedicate herself to keeping Americans
    safe from crime and bringing those who violate our laws to justice.
        I continue to encourage the Senate to provide all of my nominees a
    prompt up-or-down vote.
