THE WHITE HOUSE

Office of the Press Secretary

For Immediate Release May 13, 1999

STATEMENT BY THE PRESIDENT

Hillary and I were deeply saddened to learn of the death of Meg Greenfield. In her work for The Washington Post and Newsweek, Meg perfected the art of the newspaper column. Her essays were invariably tightly reasoned, forcefully stated and deeply felt. She called on those of us who work in government to pursue far-sighted public policy and bipartisan solutions. Her voice of eloquence and reason will be sorely missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with her family in their time of mourning.
