"I urge my colleagues—among these nominees are two for Illinois. Senator Mark Kirk and I had an agreed-to bipartisan approach. We put together bipartisan committees, we each found our favorite nominees, and we submitted the nominee to one another. We asked for approval; we got the approval. We have two extraordinarily good people: John Lee, proposed by me, and Jay Tharp, proposed by Senator Kirk. Both came out of committee without controversy—two excellent nominees sitting on the calendar."
