President Bush Saddened by Death of Senator Wellstone
Excerpt from President's Remarks with Chinese President Jiang Zemin
I want to start off by saying how sad Laura and I are about the sudden
and tragic death of United States Senator Paul Wellstone, his wife, and
one of his children, as well as the death of others on that private
airplane. Our prayers and heart-felt sympathy goes to their sons, their
loved ones, their friends, and the people of Minnesota.
Paul Wellstone was a man of deep convictions, a plain-spoken fellow
who did his best for his state and for his country. May the good Lord
bless those who grieve.
