Statement on John Breaux
Statement by the President
John Breaux is a distinguished public servant. His tenure in the
Senate has been marked by bipartisan statesmanship, results for the
people of Louisiana, and dedicated service for America.
During more than 30 years in the Congress, John Breaux has put
party politics aside to get things done for the American people. His
leadership in getting the 2001 tax cut passed helped spur economic
growth and job creation, and his vision and tenacity on Medicare reform
have now helped provide senior citizens with long-awaited prescription
drug benefits and more choices in health care. He also has been a
leader in the effort to pass comprehensive energy legislation, among
many other legislative achievements.
It is with deep respect that Laura and I extend our gratitude and
best wishes to John, his wife, Lois, and their children.
