Washington, D.C. – Democratic Nancy Leader Pelosi released the following statement today on the passing of former Secretary of State Warren Christopher last night:

"Warren Christopher was the consummate public servant and a proud patriot. Both at home and abroad, he was a skilled tactician on behalf of American interests. He was known to so many of us in Congress for being fair and loyal, honest and diplomatic, intellectual and practical. From Panama, to China, to the Middle East and the Balkans, accomplishments on behalf of progress and peace have his fingerprints on them.

"I hope it is a comfort to Warren’s wife, Marie, his children, and his grandchildren that so many grieve their loss and are praying for them in this sad time."
