I move amendment No. 86d:

In page 28, between lines 25 and 26, to insert the following:

“Disclosure of identity of persons eligible for appointment to judicial office

41. Notwithstanding the provisions of sections 27 and 28, nothing in this Act renders it unlawful for the Attorney General to inform members of the Government of the identity of persons who are eligible for appointment to any judicial office and who have indicated a willingness to be appointed to such office by the President on the advice of the Government, including persons who have applied to the Commission for recommendation for appointment but who have not been recommended by the Commission for such appointment.”.
