    Statement on the Deaths of David and Penny
    McCall
    April 19, 1999

        Hillary and I are saddened to learn of the deaths of David and Penny
    McCall, two Americans who dedicated their lives to helping people in
    need around the world. They were killed in an auto accident, along with
    a French colleague, Yvette Pierpaoli, and
    their Albanian driver, while engaged in their life's work.
        They were in Albania on a mission for Refugees International to
    explore the possibilities of setting up a region-wide radio network to
    help Kosovar-Albanian refugees locate lost family members.
        By reaching out to help the Kosovar refugees and war-affected people
    throughout the world, they stood for the best of the American spirit.
    Our thoughts and prayers are with their loved ones.
