THE WHITE HOUSE Office of the Press Secretary ______________________________________________________________________ For Immediate Release September 11, 2000 STATEMENT BY THE PRESIDENT Hillary and I were deeply saddened to learn of the death of Congressman Herbert Bateman. For more than thirty years, Herb Bateman served the people of Virginia with honor and distinction. As a veteran of the Air Force and a member of the U.S. House of Representatives, he worked to support our armed forces, and was a strong advocate of fiscal discipline and a balanced budget. Herb Bateman was a fine man and dedicated public servant who will be missed by many. Our thoughts and prayers are with his wife, Laura, their family and their friends. 30-30-30
