saying and when i was saying it. he was a joy to work with. i happen to think one of the greatest legacies of colin powell's life was how much compassion he had for other people. remember what he did with the little red reagan campaign that helped young people all across the country. he was truly a bright point of light in terms of making a difference to the world. and he did mentor people well, but he also cared deeply about people who had aids and he helped to get us aids relief to people in africa. he did an awful lot in the united states. i work closely with him when he went to haiti after the first boat lift of haitians. he left the administration of george h.w. bush, and was asked by president clinton to help make sure that haiti could be reopened and accepting of the people that had escaped haiti and gone to guantanamo and were brought back to haiti. i'm a witness to how much compassion he had.
