Claiborne de Borda Pell (November 22, 1918 - January 1, 2009) was a United States Senator from Rhode Island, serving six terms from 1961 to 1997, and was best known as the sponsor of the Pell Grant, which provides financial aid funding to U.S. college students. A Democrat, he was that state's longest serving senator.

I'd like to express my deepest condolences to the Grant Family; it has been one of the worst cases of police excessive force in our country's modern history. There was no excuse for an execution with such a blatant disregard for life to occur. I would further like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude to Claiborne Pell and my condolences to the Pell family who lost the man who instituted the Pell grant.
