Asa Hutchinson, who would lead the DEA, and James Ziglar, who would be INS chief, were approved by 19-0 votes in the committee. The nominations now go before the full Senate. Hutchinson, a member of the House Judiciary Committee and the House Speaker's Task Force for a Drug Free America, was nominated by Bush to lead the DEA in May. Before joining Congress, the Arkansas congressman was the U.S. attorney for western Arkansas in the 1980s who prosecuted and got a guilty plea from Roger Clinton on a drug charge. He also was one of 13 House members who argued in the Senate for President Clinton's impeachment in the Monica Lewinsky affair. The Senate acquitted him. The unanimous vote for Hutchinson in committee indicates that it is unlikely the GOP congressman will have trouble getting confirmed by the Senate, Leahy said afterward. Ziglar has served for the past three years as the Senate sergeant-at-arms and has spent several years in government. He's the former management director for Paine Webber Inc. and Drexel Burnham Lambert Inc. His nomination comes as President Bush is weighing a proposal to grant legal residency to undocumented Mexicans. A task force headed by Secretary of State Colin Powell and Attorney General John Ashcroft recommended last week that the administration grant guest-worker status and eventually legal residency to some of the 3 million Mexicans in this country illegally. The administration also is negotiating a guest worker program with Mexico. When asked during his confirmation hearing whether he supports legalizing Mexican immigrants in the country, Ziglar said he had not studied the issue sufficiently. He also faces little opposition in the Senate. However, Sen. Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, has indicated that his concern over how the INS collects and handles tax information may affect Ziglar's nomination. Grassley says he has been trying to get information from the INS on how it collects this information and what it does with it once it's retrieved, but has yet to get a satisfactory response from the agency. ``I'm not going to hold this nominee up in committee but I want to make it clear that I want this information,'' Grassley said.
