THE WHITE HOUSE

Office of the Press Secretary

For Immediate Release November 12, 2000

STATEMENT BY THE PRESIDENT

Hillary and I were deeply saddened this morning to learn of the death of Leah Rabin. We have lost a dear friend, and the Middle East has lost a friend of peace. But the work to which she and Yitzakh dedicated their lives must and will continue.

Our prayers are with the Rabin family and with the people of Israel.
