    Statement on the Death of Jack Buck
    June 19, 2002

        I am deeply saddened by the death of Jack Buck. Jack endeared
    himself to sports fans throughout the country with his colorful
    commentary and love of America's pastime. An honoree of the National
    Baseball Hall of Fame, Pro Football Hall of Fame, and Radio Hall of
    Fame, Jack covered sports in St. Louis, Missouri, and across the Nation
    for the last 50 years. I extend my deepest sympathies to his family. He
    will be missed.
