    Statement on the Anniversary of the Oklahoma City Bombing
    April 19, 1998

        Three years ago today the people of Oklahoma City suffered the worst
    act of terrorism in our country's history. It was an attack not just on
    the people, a city, a State, a nation, but on what we stand for, how we
    govern ourselves, and the values we live by. During that time, we have
    worked to bring to justice those who were responsible for this crime.
    And during that time, all America has stood by the people of Oklahoma
    City as they have worked to rebuild their lives. Today, once again, our
    thoughts are with the families of the 168 people whose lives were
    tragically lost. Their courage and the resilience of Oklahoma City has
    shown us all the full meaning of community.
