Former deputy attorney general Arnold Burns and former criminal division chief William Weld testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee.

Robert Wallach due to numerous official acts benefiting Wallach. Both resigned last March, and Meese plans to resign later this summer after an independent counsel report.
