Hearing of the Senate Judiciary Committee - Executive Business Meeting

Hearing

Date: June 25, 2015
Location: Washington, DC
Issues: Judicial Branch Education Legal Family

Today, we have 3 judicial nominees on the agenda and two pieces of legislation, the Need-Based
Educational Aid Act and the Adoptive Family Relief Act.

S. 1482, the Need-Based Educational Aid Act of 2015, will be held over.

S. 1300, the Adoptive Family Relief Act sponsored by Senator Feinstein, will also be held over.

I know there's a lot of support for this bill, and I expect it will get done. I appreciate that
members want to make sure we get it right, so we'll consider that bill when we return.

The judicial court nominees are on the agenda for the first time today and will be held over. They
are:

* Luis Restrepo: Circuit Judge for the Third Circuit

* Travis McDonough: District Judge for the Eastern District of Tennessee

* Waverly Crenshaw: District Judge for the Middle District of Tennessee
