On the recordMarch 15, 1994
My regret lies not so much in the fact that we will no longer be afforded the opportunity to watch him on the playing field, but that the Washington, DC community has lost a true spiritual and community leader. My purpose in taking the floor today is not to recount Charles' many athletic achievements, but to talk about Charles Mann the individual. It is easy for us to narrowly define a person by what we read in the newspaper and see on television, but it is what those people give of themselves which defines the true content of their character. Although he was blessed with this solid foundation, Charles knew there had to be more. When Charles was drafted by the Redskins, he joined a small covenant group which consists of players who share a love for Christ and their fellow man. Charles is an evangelist at heart and has made a commitment that children should know Christ at an early age.
