-Tim Spotts


Galison:    I've heard, from a woman named Elena Sassower that the hearings are going to be held on      Wednesday?

Spotts: That is correct.

Galison: ....and there's not been any public notice of that?

Spotts:  There should be. But There should be now. It should be up. It should be available.

Galison: Does it seem strange to you that there's a public hearing being held with only two days notice?

Spotts: Well it's not an actual.... it's not a hearing....

Galison: I's not?

Spotts: No, it's not a hearing like the judicial nominations were, no, it's just a confirmation....it's not a hearing hearing.
