    Statement on the Death of Dan Dutko
    July 27, 1999

        Hillary and I are deeply saddened by the untimely death of our good
    friend Dan Dutko. Dan has been a friend, an ally, and an adviser for
    nearly three decades. He enriched our lives with his enthusiasm and
    served his country with distinction. He deeply believed in the cause of
    the Democratic Party and worked tirelessly to ensure that it would have
    the ability to communicate effectively with the voters. He was a devoted
    supporter of Israel and a champion of national service.
        Our thoughts and prayers are with his wife, Deborah, and their two young children, Matthew and Jonathan.
