    >From TLJ:
       4/20. President Bush announced his intent to nominate Robert Flores to
       be Administrator of the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency
       Prevention (OJJDP). Flores is currently the VP and Senior Counsel for
       the National Law Center for Children and Families. He also served on
       the COPA Commission. He is one of the leading proponents of
       prosecuting obscenity on the Internet, and requiring schools and
       libraries receiving e-rate subsidies to use filtering technology.
       However, the OJJDP is not a prosecutorial office; it collects and
       disseminates information, and provides grants and other assistant to
       state and local authorities. It also has no authority regarding the
       e-rate.
