mr. whitehouse: thank you, mr. president. and thank you, chairman reed. we are joined on the senate floor today in sorrow for a person who met a lot -- meant a lot to both of us. one of life's profound joys is when you encounter people who are unforgettable, and in the case of brother michael he was unforgettably kind. he started out as a schoolteacher, always was interested in kids. went to work in an incarcerative in-house juvenile facility. i think there developed his love for kids who are on the margins, kids who were involved with the justice system, kids who were facing difficulties in their lives, to try to make sure that he could help turn them to a more constructive path. it was with that spirit that he came to the aci, the adult correctional institute in rhode island, a formidable building in which, this is where i first met him, in which he was a figure of unique kindliness. there was really almost nothing that you could do that could cause brother michael to turn his back on you, and that came through to people so well. so, when he started oce
