CASEY WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 1971 U.S. SENATE, COMMITTEE ON BANKING, HOUSING AND URBAN AFFAIRS, Washington, D.C. The committee met, pursuant to notice, at 9:30 a.m. in room 5302, New Senate Office Building, Senator John Sparkman presiding. Present: Senators Sparkman, Proxmire, McIntyre, Gambrell, Tower, Bennett, Roth, Brock, and Taft. Also present: Senators Javits and Buckley of New York. We are meeting this morning for the purpose of considering quite a number of nominations. It could take a long time. I believe we have a total of 13 on the list for this morning. I hope it will not take too long. We have had a rule at different times in the past that on calling on any Senator at any time we would limit the first round to 10 minutes. If any Senator does not get to finish his questioning within that time, we can return to him later. Our first witness this morning is Mr. Casey. Mr. William J. Casey, of New York, has been nominated by the President to fill a very important office, Chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission. We have with us this morning the Senators from New York, Senator Javits and Senator Buckley. We welcome them to the committee for the purpose of presenting their distinguished constituent. Senator Javits, we will be very glad to hear from you at this time. Senator JAVITS. Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, first let me thank you on behalf of our State for having such a prompt hearing on Mr. Casey. This is very helpful and we are very pleased. The CHAIRMAN. You used to serve on this committee. You know we act promptly on everything. Senator JAVITS. I know that the committee has a wonderful reputation, and as the chairman knows, I have the utmost regard for him and the other members. Mr. Chairman, I have a particular personal pleasure in commending Bill Casey to the committee. I have known him for 20 years. He is a law partner of a man who at one time was a Republican national chairman and is very well known to me, a very good friend of mine, Len Hall. So I have known Bill Casey personally, socially, professionally. It is not usual that one can say that of a man who is named for a high office. He has many things to commend him. To me, Mr. Chairman, the thing that distinguishes him the most is that he is not only a lawyer Casey, William J., etc.-Continued Senator Sparkman, February 10, information regarding the Fields case_ Senator Sparkman, dated February 11, copies of the complaint and Senator Sparkman, dated February 26, inclosing telegram received Senator Sparkman, March 1, statement of personal professional, List of companies in which Mr. Casey served as officer or director......
