    Statement on the Texas A&M University Bonfire Tower Tragedy
    November 19, 1999

        Today I spoke with Dr. Ray Bowen, president of
    Texas A&M University, to extend my deepest sympathies on the tragedy
    that occurred at the campus. This is a heartbreaking loss. America
    stands with the College Station community as it joins together during
    this difficult time. Hillary and I offer our thoughts and prayers to the
    families and friends of those who were injured or killed in this
    devastating incident.
