Statement on the Death of Prince Rainier III of Monaco
April 6, 2005

    Laura and I join Americans across the country 
in mourning the loss of His Serene Highness Prince Rainier III of 
Monaco. He will be remembered as a respected leader who secured the 
prosperity of Monaco's people. Monaco and the United States have long 
had a special bond of friendship. We extend our deepest condolences to 
His Serene Highness Prince Albert, to the 
Grimaldi family, and to all the people of Monaco.
