Not To Seek Reelection

March 3, 2004

    For 17 years, Ben Nighthorse Campbell has been a strong advocate in 
the Congress for the people of Colorado. He has been a leader in seeking 
the protection of our public lands and natural resources and a tireless 
champion for Native Americans. Ben is a patriot who has served his 
country in Congress, as an airman in Korea, and as a competitor in the 
1964 Summer Olympics in Tokyo.
    Laura and I send our best to Ben, his wife, Linda, and their family.
