Mr. WYDEN. Madam President, just very briefly, because my friend is on the floor, I think we both agree that this position needs to be filled. What I am so troubled by is, on issue after issue, where we needed to see experience and savvy in concrete areas to do what Ben Franklin said--Ben Franklin said we need security and liberty, and smart policies will give you both. And, unfortunately, in the questions that I and others asked of this nominee, he simply had no involvement in the past in these questions.

For that reason, I continue to believe that this nomination is a mistake, and it is why I am opposing the nomination tonight.
