    Statement on the Death of Heinz C. Prechter
    July 6, 2001

        Laura and I were saddened to hear of the death of Heinz Prechter. He
    will be missed. He was a great friend of ours as well as the entire Bush
    family. He was an honorable and loyal man. Our thoughts and prayers are
    with his family during this very difficult time.
