    Statement on the Death of Warren Burger
    June 25, 1995

        Hillary and I are deeply saddened to learn of Justice Burger's
    passing. Today the Nation mourns the loss of a great public servant.
        Justice Burger was a strong, powerful, and visionary Chief Justice
    who opened the doors of opportunity. As Chief Justice, he was concerned
    with the administration of the Court, serving with enthusiasm and always
    making sure it was above reproach.
        He also presided over the most important anniversary of our Nation
    by serving as Chair of the Bicentennial Commission on the Constitution.
        His expansive view of the Constitution and his tireless service will
    leave a lasting imprint on the Court and our Nation. Our prayers are
    with his family and friends during this time.
