While some directors say they think the rule should be abolished, others say they think a clarification of the rules is all that is necessary. Many say they would agree to let the HRDC call second choice performers during the grace period to notify them of openings.

Bork's five days in the witness chair marked the longest interrogation any nominee has had to endure since Congress began holding Supreme Court confirmation hearings in 1939, and he handled himself with considerable grace ^ under pressure.
