Statement on the Death of Meade Alcorn

January 13, 1992
    Barbara and I are deeply saddened by the death of our longtime 
family friend and leader of the Republican Party, Meade Alcorn. Meade 
was chairman of the Republican Party in the late 1950's and was an 
inspiration to all who were formulating political careers during the 
time of his leadership. He was a practitioner and a believer who gave 
the party ideals and strength through its national organization.
    Meade was a personal friend of my father and our entire family. He 
gave us support and advice at many points in our lives. I spoke with his 
wonderful wife, Marcia, this afternoon to offer our sympathy and 
condolences. Barbara and I offer our prayers for Meade Alcorn.
