    Paul Tsongas

    January 18, 1997

        Paul Tsongas was a great American. He cared deeply about his beloved
    State of Massachusetts and about our country and its future. In a life
    devoted to public service, he set an unparalleled example of integrity,
    candor, and commitment. On behalf of the entire Nation, Hillary and I
    extend to his family our deepest sympathy and our profound gratitude for
    his life and work.
