    Statement on the Death of David Brinkley
    June 12, 2003

        David Brinkley was a pioneer of broadcast journalism. He was
    respected for his integrity, admired for his candor and wit, and
    distinguished by an exceptional career that spanned more than a half
    century. Laura joins me in offering our heartfelt
    condolences to Susan and the entire Brinkley
    family.
