Excerpt from The Need for Additional Bankruptcy Judges and the Role of the U. S. Trustee System: Hearing Before the Subcommittee on Administrative Oversight and the Courts of the Committee on the Judiciary, United States Senate, One Hundred Fourth Congress, Second Session; April 24, 1996 Our need for the 11 bankruptcy judgeships is real and acute. The assistance you have given to the bankruptcy judiciary many times in the past is desperately needed again. In asking for your help, I assure you that this request for new bankruptcy positions is made only after the judiciary has taken earnest and sincere steps to maximize all other programs to meet the districts' judgeship needs before asking for your assistance. Again, thank you for all your help. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
