Dear ********:

Thank you for writing to me about the nomination of Judge John
G. Roberts, Jr. to replace Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist on the
Supreme Court. I appreciate hearing from you and welcome this
opportunity to reply.

Now that the President has named his replacement for Chief
Justice Rehnquist, it is time for the Judiciary Committee, of which I am a
member, to do its work.

My Judiciary Committee staff is reviewing Mr. Roberts' entire
professional record to help me assess his judicial philosophy and
temperament, and we have begun the hearings. Attached is a copy of my
opening statement.

Judge Roberts has been nominated to lead a Court that will make
critical rulings on Congressional authority, as well as all Americans'
constitutional right to privacy, environmental protections, and many
other aspects of Constitutional law. The extraordinary importance of this
nomination cannot be overstated, so I intend to reserve judgment until
our due diligence is completed.

Thank you for sharing your views with me, and I will take them
into consideration as the nomination process moves forward. Should you
have any questions, please feel free to contact my Washington, D.C. staff
at [phone].
