Statement on the Death of Lee Atwater
March 29, 1991

    Barbara and I lost a great friend in Lee Atwater. I valued Lee's 
counsel and abilities. The Republican Party will miss his energy, 
vision, and leadership. Barbara and I give our deepest condolences to 
Sally, the kids, and Lee's parents. We share in their grief. Lee will 
always be in our memories.

                    Note: H. Lee Atwater was former chairman of the 
                        Republican National Committee.
