Giuliani was the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York. That is a presidentially appointed position which requires approval by the Senate. The presidential nomination for Giuliani's successor is available online here. (1983 Presidential Nominations are not in the Thomas database).

I could be wrong. But I'm not convinced with what you've offered as evidence.

It is an undisputed fact that President Reagan nominated Rudolph Giuliani to become U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York in 1983. As is typical for such nominations, Giuliani was first recommended for that post by his home state Republican Senator, Alfonse D'Amato. And before that, Giuliani was the number 3 man in President Reagan's Justice Department, which is another presidentially nominated, senate confirmed post.

That being said, as CharlesWayneCT pointed out, just because President Reagan appointed someone to a particular post in the 1980s doesn't mean that that person is or was the spitting image of President Reagan - or that that President Reagan would back him in the 2008 Republican presidential primary were he alive today.

It does little for anyone's cause to post erroneous information and then deny that the information is incorrect - especially if other FReepers are now scared to correct things for fear of being banned by the powers that be because they supposedly do not tow the party line. The dissenters among us provide a valuable service - hopefully making us THINK whether what we are posting can be ripped to shreds because it is incorrect before posting it.
