Thanks. Add me to the list.

Specter: Letter from Kennedy delivered around Christmas; never logged in. Specter never saw it until an hour ago when he got a copy of it.
Mr. Neal did talk to Specter about it over the Christmas break when they travelled to Iraq. Mr. O'Neal reminds Specter they talked about it on the phone and Specter thought it was not meritorious.
Specter: We get so many letters written by staff. Anything important we expect members to bring it to the committee or the Chair.
I return all calls from members. If it had been presented to me, I'd have given it more attention than the telephone call I referred to.
Specter:
November 26 -- NYT published a story about this. My chief of staff talked with the person who went through all the records in the public domain.
No indication Judge Alito was among the gruop's major donors, not an active leader and Mr. Rusher said they didn't remember Alito playing a role.
The obvious thing to do is call Mr. Rusher which we did and he said we could look at his records. He said he got a request from an unnamed requester and he declined, but if he had gotten a request from Sen. Kennedy, he'd have given permission.
So the records are en route from the Library of Congress so we can look at the them.
I'm surprised Kennedy didn't talk to Leahy or me before he made a request for access and subpoena. I'm puzzled. But the substance of the request is being attended to.
I share Kennedy's concern that we have all the facts.
Well, since Specter wants all the facts, I want the facts about this.
Mr. P reports that Rush said when Kennedy was at Harvard he belonged to an elitist ALL WHITE organization.
I want those records!
