Statement on the Death of James Rhodes
March 4, 2001

    America and Ohio lost a great man today, Governor Jim Rhodes. Laura 
and I share in this time of mourning with the people of Ohio. Jim was a 
dedicated, honorable public servant. His distinguished career included 
representing Ohio and its people longer than any other Governor in the 
State's history. Our thoughts and prayers are with his daughters, 
Suzanne and Sharon, 
and his entire family.
