Subject: proposal for new federal legislation

in re: judicial oaths of office

Dear Representative Campbell:

I am writing to request that you promptly draft legislation specifying a mandatory procedure for compelling disclosure of judicial oaths of office. See 28 U.S.C. 453; 5 U.S.C. 2902.

The U.S. Copyright Office now has adopted a model procedure for publishing -- on the Internet -- a list of Agents for Notification of Copyright Infringement claims. This procedure is an excellent model also for publishing the Oaths of Office required of all federal judges (copy attached).

We have performed a diligent search of the pertinent federal laws, and we simply cannot find any law which identifies the legal custodian of judicial Oaths of Office. If we have overlooked it, would you please cite it for us, so that we may contact the legal custodian?

Compare, for example, 5 U.S.C. 2902, which expressly identifies the office of Attorney General as the custodian of the commissions of judicial officers, United States attorneys, and marshals appointed by the President (copy attached).

We recommend that the AO Director be identified as the legal custodian by amending 28 U.S.C. 604(a) (Duties of Director generally), by adding subsection (25): “Archive registered copies of all judicial oaths required by section 453 of this title, and publish same at the Administrative Office Internet website established for this purpose by the Director”.

Rep. Campbell, My Counsel, a Private Attorney General, is standing by to assist your office with timely fulfillment of this request.

Sincerely yours,

/s/ Donald E. Wishart
