THE WHITE HOUSE
WASHINGTON
March 9, 1976
MEMORANDUM FOR:
DOUG BENNETT
FROM:
JACK MARSH
SUBJECT:
Congressman Bob Duncan
Congressman Bob Duncan of Oregon called me in reference to
two pending judgeships in his State which are vacant.
The Congressman indicated there was strong support in the
Congressional Delegation to include Joel Pritchard that one
of these seats be filled by Congressman Floyd Hicks, a Demo-
crat who served in the Congress for the last 10 years or so.
Duncan says that Hicks is highly regarded in Washington and
he felt this appointment would be acceptable to Republicans
particularly since there are two judgeships to be filled.
He noted also that the State had strong Democratic repre-
sentation with Senator Magnuson and Jackson, but felt the
selection of a Democratic judge would be seen as a stateman-
like move that would be widely accepted.
In all events, Congressman Duncan asked that I relay these
views to you which is the purpose of this memo.
Many thanks.
