    Statement on the Death of Ed Bradley

    November 9, 2006

        Laura and I are deeply saddened by the death of Ed Bradley. For over
    40 years, the American people have turned to Ed as a trusted source of
    information about events that have shaped our Nation. From serving as a
    White House correspondent to his many years as a journalist for a
    television newsmagazine, he produced distinctive investigative reports
    that inspired action and cemented his reputation as one of the most
    accomplished journalists of our time.
        Today our thoughts and prayers are with Mr. Bradley's family and
    colleagues.
