Leonidas Ralph Mecham, Joseph R. Biden, William Hubbs Rehnquist
April 20, 1990

L. Ralph Mecham informs all members of the Judicial Conference that their vote to oppose S. 2027 at last month's Judicial Conference session was unanimous. He attaches the 14-point plan for case management reform that the Peckham subcommittee wrote in response to the legislation, as well as correspondence dated 4/4/1990 and 4/6/1990 between Senator Joseph Biden and Chief Justice William Rehnquist regarding legislative proceedings.
