    Statement on the Indictment of Henry G. Cisneros
    December 11, 1997

        Henry Cisneros has a distinguished career of truly dedicated public
    service. As mayor of San Antonio, as Secretary of Housing and Urban
    Development, and as a wise counselor to me, he always has the interest
    of ordinary people at heart. I have greatly valued his service. This is
    a matter before the courts, so it is not appropriate for me to comment
    further.
