    Statement on the Death of Frank O'Bannon
    September 13, 2003

        Frank O'Bannon was a dedicated public servant and a good and decent
    man. He led a distinguished career, including service in the Air Force,
    in the Indiana State senate, and as Lieutenant Governor. Since being
    sworn in as Governor of Indiana in 1997, he has served the people of his
    State with integrity and devotion. Laura joins me
    in sending our thoughts and prayers to his wife, Judy, and their family.
