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.
“NOMINATIONS DISCHARGED” mentioning the U.S. Dept. of Justice was published in the Senate section on pages S10807 on Dec. 20, 2010.
The publication is reproduced in full below:
NOMINATIONS DISCHARGED
Mr. KERRY. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the Judiciary Committee be discharged en bloc of the following nominations: PN2353 and PN2349; that the Senate then proceed en bloc to the consideration of the nominations; that the nominations be confirmed en bloc, and the motions to reconsider be laid upon the table; that any statements relating to the nominations be printed in the Record, the President be immediately notified of the Senate's action, and the Senate then resume legislative session.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
The nominations considered and confirmed en bloc are as follows:
department of justice
William Benedict Berger, Sr., of Florida, to be United States Marshal for the Middle District of Florida for the term of four years.
Joseph Campbell Moore, of Wyoming, to be United States Marshal for the District of Wyoming for the term of four years.
NOMINATION OF JOSEPH MOORE
Mr. ENZI. Mr. President, I rise today to speak on the nomination of Joe Moore to serve as the U.S. marshal for the district of Wyoming. I was pleased to see that the Senate has given this nomination full and fair consideration. I support Joe Moore's nomination for this important position for Wyoming and am confident that he will do a great service in his capacities as U.S. marshal.
Joe Moore is currently the director of the Wyoming Office of Homeland Security--a position he has served in since it was created in 2003. During his time with the Wyoming Office of Homeland Security, he worked closely with State, local, and Federal officials to respond to and coordinate responses to several major natural disasters. Director Moore has also bolstered Wyoming's homeland security efforts and improved State and local law enforcement activities statewide. Director Moore is a graduate of Elizabethtown College in Pennsylvania, and prior to his service with the State of Wyoming, he spent 32 years serving in Federal law enforcement.
I would like to thank my colleagues on the Senate Judiciary Committee for advancing this nomination. The U.S. Marshals Service has a long, distinguished history in our State, and I applaud Director Moore's confirmation to head this agency in Wyoming.
