For more than 40 years now, the Kennedy family has inspired Americans to public service, strengthened our faith in the future, and moved our nation forward. Through it all they have suffered much, and given more. In recent years, in particular, John Kennedy, Jr. and Carolyn have captured our imagination and won our affection.

At this difficult moment, we hope the families of these three fine young people will feel the strength of God, the love of their friends, and the prayers of their fellow citizens. END 4:15 P.M.
