    Statement on Senator Ben Nighthorse Campbell's Decision Not To Seek Reelection
    March 3, 2004

        For 17 years, Ben Nighthorse Campbell has been a strong advocate in
    the Congress for the people of Colorado. He has been a leader in seeking
    the protection of our public lands and natural resources and a tireless
    champion for Native Americans. Ben is a patriot who has served his
    country in Congress, as an airman in Korea, and as a competitor in the
    1964 Summer Olympics in Tokyo.
        Laura and I send our best to Ben, his wife,
    Linda, and their family.
