The Congressional Record is a unique source of public documentation. It started in 1873, documenting nearly all the major and minor policies being discussed and debated.
“NOMINATION OF THOMAS D. ANDERSON TO BE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY FOR THE DISTRICT OF VERMONT FOR THE TERM OF FOUR YEARS” mentioning the U.S. Dept. of Justice was published in the Senate section on pages S6403 on June 22, 2006.
The publication is reproduced in full below:
NOMINATION OF THOMAS D. ANDERSON TO BE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY FOR THE
DISTRICT OF VERMONT FOR THE TERM OF FOUR YEARS
The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will report the last nomination.
The legislative clerk read the nomination of Thomas D. Anderson, of Vermont, to be United States Attorney for the District of Vermont for the term of four years.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Vermont.
Mr. LEAHY. Mr. President, I have spoken earlier about Mr. Anderson. For those of us who have been prosecutors in Vermont or care about the prosecutor's office, I think President Bush has made a fine choice here. And, of course, I strongly support Mr. Anderson for the reasons I stated earlier.
I think everybody here and in the Department of Justice will breathe a sigh of relief. We have had wonderful acting U.S. attorneys for some time since former U.S. attorney Peter Hall went to the Second Circuit. But this will be a very good move to have him as U.S. attorney.
I compliment Tom and his family and, of course, the President.
I yield the floor.
