    Statement on the Death of Caspar Weinberger
    March 28, 2006

        Caspar Weinberger was an American statesman and a dedicated public
    servant. He wore the uniform in World War II, held elected office, and
    served in the Cabinets of three Presidents. As Secretary of Defense for
    President Reagan, he worked to strengthen our military and win the cold
    war. In all his years, this good man made many contributions to our
    Nation. America is grateful for Caspar Weinberger's lifetime of service.
    Laura and I send our condolences and prayers to
    the entire Weinberger family.
