Statement on the Death of Millicent Fenwick
September 16, 1992

    I was saddened to learn of the death of former Representative 
Millicent Fenwick of New Jersey. Mrs. Fenwick represented the highest 
ideals of public service: integrity, devotion to principle, and 
commitment to the public interest. I knew and admired her.
    Mrs. Fenwick dedicated herself to New Jersey and to the United 
States. Mrs. Fenwick's service as town council member, State 
assemblywoman, consumer affairs director, and U.S. Representative are a 
testimony to her devotion to her State and her country. She will be 
missed but also long remembered as a conscientious and effective public 
servant.
