'First Rate Lawyer'

Peter W. Low, professor of constitutional
law said of Mr. Powell, "I think he's a first rate
lawyer. He doesn't bring his political prejudices
into the analysis of an argument. I think there
is a lot of virtue in that."

In a twenty-five page written statement
prepared for the Senate Judiciary Committee,
Mr. Howard discusses Mr. Powell's past
speeches and activities in regard to various
timely issues.

Commenting on Mr. Powell's views on
wiretapping, Mr. Howard writes, "It is clear
that he recognizes and approves the place of
prior court order with carefully fashioned
limitations and safeguards when wiretaps are
used against domestic crime."
