    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.
