    Statement on the Death of Carroll Campbell
    December 7, 2005

        Laura and I are deeply saddened by the loss
    of Governor Carroll Campbell. Carroll Campbell was a strong leader, a
    committed public servant, and a good friend. For more than two decades,
    he represented the people of South Carolina as a State legislator,
    Member of Congress, and Governor. He was a tireless advocate for the
    State he loved and was known for his integrity and character. We join
    South Carolinians and Americans around the Nation in mourning the
    passing of Carroll Campbell, and we send our thoughts and prayers to
    Iris and the entire Campbell family.
