Clinton should stand by his choice Appoint Lee during recess
Washington columnist Sandy Grady argues that President Clinton should pursue a recess appointment for Bill Lan Lee to head the civil rights division, despite Republican opposition led by Orrin Hatch and Newt Gingrich. The piece frames Lee as a symbol of immigrant achievement and urges bold action to defend affirmative action, noting past recess appointments by Eisenhower and Reagan. John Lewis and Janet Reno are highlighted as supportive figures in a national battle over civil rights policy.
