STATEMENT BY THE PRESIDENT
Hillary and I were deeply saddened to learn of the death of Senator
Paul Coverdell.
Paul Coverdell spent a lifetime serving the people of Georgia and our
country. He was a tireless advocate who worked to ensure that children
have access to quality education. And he was a leader in America?s war
against drugs. As Director of the Peace Corps, he proudly carried
America?s spirit of volunteerism around the world.
I join all Americans in honoring Paul Coverdell for his years of
service as a soldier, a public servant, and a statesman. Our thoughts and
prayers are with his wife, Nancy, his family and his many friends.
