    Statement on the Death of Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan Patrick
    March 26, 2003

        Laura and I are saddened by the death of Senator Daniel Patrick
    Moynihan. Senator Moynihan was an intellectual pioneer and a trusted
    adviser to Presidents of both parties. I appreciated his service to my
    administration as Co-Chairman of my Commission to Strengthen Social
    Security. Representing the people of New York for 24 years, Senator
    Moynihan was a leader in

    the Senate and was recognized for his commitment to free trade, Social
    Security, freedom for people around the world, and equal opportunity for
    all Americans. He committed his life to service and will be sorely
    missed. We express our deepest sympathies to Senator Moynihan's family.
