    Statement of Condolence on the Death of Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin of
    Israel
    November 5, 1995

        Prime Minister Rabin gave his life to Israel, first as a soldier for
    its freedom, then finally as a martyr for its lasting peace.
        For his example, his friendship to the United States, and his warm
    friendship to me, I am eternally grateful.

                                                          William J. Clinton

    Note: The President inscribed this statement in a condolence book at the
    Israeli Embassy. An original was not available for verification of the
