Subject: FW: Bob Flores was confirmed today by the Senate

J. Robert Flores was confirmed by the U.S. Senate today as the
President's nominee to be Administrator of DOJ's Office of Juvenile
Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP).  He was approved by the
Senate Judiciary Committee, unanimously, and now by the full Senate by
joint resolution.  He will most likely be appointed and sworn in next
week by the Attorney General.  We wish him all the best and know that
the Administration and the Department of Justice have obtained an
honorable and dedicated gentleman to be an advocate for our children.

He worked hard for this presidential appointment and suffered long and
hard while awaiting a hearing by the Judiciary Committee most of last
year.  He stepped down from NLC last October and from Johns Hopkins
University at the end of November, so he more than showed his
dedication to the President, the Department, and his principles by
waiting through these additional five months for this confirmation.
We're proud of him and thankful for his sacrifice and will miss his
friendship and fellowship at NLC.
