(Huebner) DG October 22, 1973 SUGGESTED PRESIDENTIAL STATEMENT ON THE DEATH OF PABLO CASALS With the death of Pablo Casals, the world has lost one of this century's preeminent artists. His place in the cultural life of America over the years was symbolized by the fact that he performed at the White House both in 1904 and in 1961 and received the Nation's highest civilian honor, the Presidential Medal of Freedom, in 1963. The music of Casals enriched the lives of millions during his lifetime and the name Casals will always be identified with outstanding accomplishment. ###
