OPA Press Release: Statement By Secretary Of Labor Robert B. Reich [04/04/1996]

For more information call: 202-219-8211

I am stunned and deeply saddened by the news of the death of my friend and colleague, Ron Brown. We were together earlier this week in Lille and Paris for the G-7 meetings. As head of the delegation, Ron showed the kind of passion and commitment he has personified as the Secretary of Commerce.

This is a tremendous personal loss for those of us who have known and worked with Ron, and it is a terrible loss to our country and to our international partners. He will be greatly missed.

My heartfelt sympathies go out to Alma and the children and to the families of all those who died in the crash.
