    Statement on the Death of Betty Shabazz
    June 23, 1997

        Hillary and I were saddened to learn of the passing of Betty Shabazz
    earlier today. She devoted a long career to education and to uplifting
    women and children. She was also a loving mother. Our prayers are with
    her family in this hour of grief.
