President's Statement on Johnny Carson
Laura and I are saddened by the death of Johnny Carson. Born in
Iowa and raised in Nebraska, Johnny Carson was a steady and reassuring
presence in homes across America for three decades. His wit and insight
made Americans laugh and think and had a profound influence on American
life and entertainment. He was a patriot who served in the United
States Navy during World War II and always remembered his roots in the
heartland of America. We send our prayers and condolences to the entire
Carson family.
