Statement on the Death of Bob Considine.

September 26, 1975

BOB CONSIDINE was a great reporter, whose beat was literally the world. His perceptive reporting and the quality of his writing made him a great newsman. His personal integrity and courage, his gentle good humor, and his outstanding character made him a great person. He will be missed.

Mrs. Ford joins in this expression of sympathy to Bob's wife, Millie, and to his family. In words Bob was fond of quoting: "May 'the angels lead thee into paradise and may the martyrs receive thee at thy coming."

Note: Mr. Considine, a reporter with Hearst Newspapers, wrote the syndicated column "On the Line."
