    Statement on the Killing of Rosemary Nelson
    in Northern Ireland
    March 15, 1999

        The killing today of Rosemary Nelson, a leading human rights lawyer
    in Northern Ireland, was a despicable and cowardly act by the enemies of
    peace. Our deepest sympathies go out to her family and friends. It is
    long past time for the bloodshed to end once and for all. We urge all
    the proponents for peace to unite to condemn this act and reject the
    violence. We urge the parties to move forward with implementing the Good
    Friday accord.
