This
afternoon, President Barack Obama, as a mark of respect for the memory of
Senator Daniel Inouye, ordered U.S. flags on all public buildings and grounds to
half-staff until sunset on the day of his interment. Accordingly, Governor
Lincoln Chafee has ordered Rhode Island flags on public buildings and grounds
across the state to remain at half-staff until that time. An updated notice will
be distributed when the details of Senator Inouye’s interment become
known.
