    Statement on the Death of Dawn Steel
    December 22, 1997

        Hillary and I were saddened to learn of the death of Dawn Steel. She
    was a pioneer in the film industry, blazing a trail for a new generation
    of young women, and setting a standard of achievement for all. Our lives
    have been enriched by her talent, and she will be missed. Our thoughts
    and prayers are with her husband, her daughter, and with all her family.
