They saw a person who is compassionate. They saw a person who. not just from her words but from her ability to draw from personal experience with children in need. with battered wives. with persons who were at the depths of our society. is clearly a human being who cares deeply about the human condition. When you talk to persons who are recently naturalized into this country and ask what Is it that made them give up their citizenship from another country to become an American. I have found one of the first things that is given as that reason is our system of justice. People feel that in America everybody. no matter where they came from or what their station in life. is going to be treated fairly. For the person who is going to be heading our national Department of Justice to have those qualities that Janet Reno so abundantly possesses I believe will be an inspiration to our citizens. those who have recently joined as naturalized citizens and those who have been fortunate to have been born and spent a lifetime in this country. Janet Reno knows about those things that shaped her character: Her foreignborn father who came to this country. as she said. with funny clothes and a funny accent. and who never forgot what it meant to be taunted because of that and always had a respect and sensitivity to people who were different. to her mother who. in the most literal sense. built their home. a home which survived the hurricane of August of last year because. as she said. it was built without compromise. Janet Reno is a human being who is built without compromise.
