Remarks on the Death of Jerry Falwell in Columbia, South Carolina

I express my condolences to his family, Reverend Falwell's family, and to his much larger family …He was a man who set a direction. He was someone who was not afraid to speak his mind. We all have great respect for him … he is a person who told you what he thought and you knew where he stood. … My sympathies and my prayers go out to his family."
