                        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.
