STATEMENT BY THE VICE PRESIDENT
Tipper and I are saddened by the unexpected passing of Bob Damus,
General Counsel for the Office of Management and Budget. Bob was a
superior attorney and scholar. His sound judgment, extraordinary
intellect and wise counsel will be missed by all who had the good
fortune to have known or worked with him. As a career civil servant,
Bob embodied the best of our nation?s spirit. Bob served three
administrations with integrity and a commitment to excellence. His
dedication and hard work during twenty years of government service
twice earned him the highest honor a career civil servant in the
Senior Executive Service can receive, the Presidential Rank Award as a
Distinguished Executive.
Tipper and I offer our prayers to Bob?s wife, Pam, and his
children, David and Elizabeth.
