STATEMENT BY THE PRESIDENT
Betty and I would like to express our sorrow over the unexpected
death of Richard J. Daley, Mayor of the city of Chicago.
Mayor Daley has been a dominant force in American politics
for many years. His career of public service at the state and city
level, and his participation in national legislation and policies
reflect his strong belief in and dedication to the vitality of the
American cities.
Though controversial at times, he has been a towering figure
in the American scene and will be long remembered by the
people of Chicago, of Illinois, and of the nation.
