THE WHITE HOUSE

Office of the Press Secretary

For Immediate Release December 20, 2000

STATEMENT BY THE PRESIDENT

Hillary and I were deeply saddened to learn of the death of John Lindsay. As a member of Congress, and later as Mayor, John Lindsay built a remarkable rapport with the people of New York City -- people of every race, in every neighborhood, in every walk of life. In times of great change, John Lindsay was a progressive yet pragmatic force for the public interest. New Yorkers and all Americans will miss not only his confident style, but his commitment to social progress for all.
