Thad Cochran: “Today in Mississippi, funeral services were held for Andy Reese, who was a long time reporter for United Press…”

On the recordFebruary 4, 1998
Today in Mississippi, funeral services were held for Andy Reese, who was a long time reporter for United Press International and later served as the public information officer of the Mississippi House of Representatives. He was a friend of mine and of many others who had the good fortune to come to know him. He was totally trustworthy, very intelligent, and dependably accurate in his reporting. Our state has suffered a great loss. I ask unanimous consent that an editorial in today's Clarion Ledger of Jackson, MS which eloquently describes his career and his wonderful qualities be printed in the Record.
