                     ON THE NOMINATION OF JUDGE TRAUGER
           TO SERVE AS THE U.S. DISTRICT COURT JUDGE IN TENNESSEE

I am pleased that the President today nominated Bankruptcy Judge Aleta Trauger to serve as the United States District Judge for the Middle District of Tennessee.

Judge Trauger has a distinguished and broad based career as a prosecutor, private lawyer and judge. Her professional experience, temperament and standing in the community all suggest that she will distinguish herself as a knowledgeable and fair minded District Court Judge.
