Remembering Beau Biden Mr. President, I join many of my colleagues in our feelings and expressing deep sadness on the loss of Beau Biden, one of our Nation's greatest public servants, one whom I was privileged to join in serving with as attorney general--he as the attorney general of Delaware and I of Connecticut. I knew Beau Biden well and, in fact, sat next to him at many of our meetings of the National Association of Attorneys General. There was no one I met as attorney general who was more dedicated to the rule of law, to protecting people from threats to public safety, and respecting their rights and liberties in doing so.

I know how deeply the Vice President loved Beau Biden and how much, as a dad, his death will unspeakably and unimaginably affect him.
