    Remarks in Waco, Texas, on the Death of Peter Jennings
    August 8, 2005

        Laura and I were saddened to learn about the
    death of Peter Jennings. Peter Jennings had a long and distinguished
    career as a news journalist. He covered many important events, events
    that helped define the world as we know it today. A lot of Americans
    relied upon Peter Jennings for their news. He became a part of the lives
    of a lot of our fellow citizens, and he will be missed. May God bless
    his soul.
        Thank you.

    Note: The President spoke at 9:52 a.m. at Texas State Technical College.
