FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
MAY 5, 1975
Office of the White House Press Secretary
THE WHITE HOU SE
STATEMENT BY THE PRESIDENT
Ken Keating was an outstanding public servant and an old and valued friend.
He was my colleague in the Congress from New York State for nine years
and then went on to serve with distinction in the United States Senate.
With the conclusion of his Congressional years, Ken began another dis-
tinguished career, this time as a diplomat, ably representing America as
Ambassador to both India and Israel. His integrity, dedication and
devotion to duty made him a most valued public servant.
As United States representative in Tel Aviv for the past two years, Ambas-
sador Keating has played a critical role in the formulation and execution
of our policies in the Middle East. He was known by both Americans and
Israelis for his statesmanship, his gentle grace, and his commitment to
peace.
Seldom has one man led a more versatile or useful public life. Mrs. Ford
joins with me in condolences to his family.
