    Statement on the Death of Cesar Chavez
    April 23, 1993

        The labor movement and all Americans have lost a great leader with
    the death today of Cesar Chavez. An inspiring fighter for the cause to
    which he dedicated his life, Cesar Chavez was an authentic hero to
    millions of people throughout the world.
        I share the sadness his family, friends, followers, and supporters
    all feel upon his passing away. We can be proud of his enormous
    accomplishments and the dignity and comfort he brought to the lives of
    so many of our country's least powerful and most dispossessed workers.
    He had a profound impact upon the people of the United States. My
    deepest sympathies go out to all his loved ones.

    Note: The related proclamation of April 28 is listed in Appendix D at
    the end of this volume.
