    Statement on the Death of Meg Greenfield
    May 13, 1999

        Hillary and I were deeply saddened to learn of the death of Meg
    Greenfield. In her work for the Washington Post and Newsweek, Meg
    perfected the art of the newspaper column. Her essays were invariably
    tightly reasoned, forcefully stated, and deeply felt. She called on
    those of us who work in Government to pursue farsighted public policy
    and bipartisan solutions. Her voice of eloquence and reason will be
    sorely missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with her family in their
    time of mourning.
