Thank you for contacting me about the nomination of Eric Holder to be the next Attorney General of the United States. I understand your concerns.
Mr. Holder's nomination will come before the Senate Judiciary Committee when the 111th Congress convenes in the new year. I fully expect that my colleagues on this committee will vigorously question Mr. Holder about his background and qualifications. Should this nominee come before me for a vote, I will certainly keep your views in mind.
