[Bruce Taylor and his colleagues (including Bob Flores) at the National Law Center helped to draft the CDA and have defended COPA and the CIPA library-filtering law. --Declan] --- Date: Fri, 12 Apr 2002 23:31:44 -0400 From: "Bruce Taylor" <BruceTaylorat_private> 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. Bruce A.
