    Statement on the Death of Albert Sabin
    March 3, 1993

        I was saddened to learn of the passing this morning of Dr. Albert
    Sabin, one of the great heroes of American medicine. The oral polio
    vaccine that he developed has saved countless lives and provided
    millions more with the comfort of security.
        I have made a commitment to work towards the goal of ensuring that
    all of our Nation's children receive proper immunizations. This loss
    today reminds us all of the seriousness with which that task must be
    taken. We must continue the battle which Albert Sabin so nobly waged.
