On the recordApril 16, 1997
I am delighted to note in the city of Long Beach, which I am honored to represent and in which I live, a few years ago we established the Jackie Robinson Academy. It is located in the inner city. It is an academic achieving school. President Clinton has visited there, spent time with the students and the faculty in the school, and Mrs. Robinson was there on the dedication day, as were a few thousand others. And it was a great spirit that he would have been proud to see if he were still alive. It is that spirit and gentlemanliness, that compassion that he personifies, and that I think all who study his career hopefully will emulate.
