    Statement on the Death of Maureen Reagan
    August 8, 2001

        Laura and I are deeply saddened to learn of Maureen Reagan's death.
    Maureen was a devoted, caring daughter and mother. She fought tirelessly
    to increase funding for Alzheimer's research and raise public awareness
    of the disease. Our thoughts and prayers are with Maureen's husband,
    Dennis, their daughter, Rita, and the entire family.
