A lawyer for Texas billionaire Harlan Crow has offered to meet with Senate Judiciary Committee staff to discuss the panel's concerns over his ties to conservative U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, a letter released on Tuesday showed.

Revelations about the links between Thomas, the court's longest-tenured member, and Crow, including real estate purchases and luxury travel paid for by the Dallas businessman, have prompted calls from Democratic lawmakers for more rigorous ethics standards for the Supreme Court. Still, Bopp wrote, "we respect the Senate Judiciary Committee's important role in formulating legislation concerning our federal courts system, and would welcome a discussion with your staff."
U.S. Chief Justice John Roberts last month said the court is considering steps to "adhere to the highest standards of conduct" and was committed to ensuring that its nine members adhered to them.
