My name is Gina Talamona, I am a spokeswoman for the Department of Justice. The Attorney General had an uneventful night. He looks good and is very alert. The doctor's are describing him as very fit. All the tests have been reassuring. There is no indication that he suffered a stroke or any heart-related incident. It really appears to have been a fainting spell. You know, he works long days, he is very active, it was a late-night speech under hot lights. So all indications are at this point it was basically a fainting spell. They are doing another round of routine tests this morning. He certainly wants to leave and get back to the office as soon as possible. In fact, he is more than ready. The Deputy Attorney General will be over here today at 10:00 to brief him on some Department issues. We are going to continue to update you as we receive additional information. Full release
