    Statement on the Death of John White
    January 20, 1995

        Hillary and I were deeply saddened to learn of the death of former
    Democratic National Committee Chairman John White. Our prayers are with
    Nellie and his family at this difficult time. I am proud to have had the
    opportunity to work with him and learn from him. His decency,
    perseverance, and humor are a model for all of us who face the
    challenges and possibilities within our political system to move ideas
    forward and improve people's lives. John dedicated his life in service
    to the Democratic Party and this Nation. As Democrats gather from across
    the country to formally elect new leadership this weekend, memories of
    his sharp wit and tireless commitment will be in our hearts.
