“I found him to be a fierce advocate for the people of Missouri, just as I have found Senator Bond and Senator Ashcroft to be fierce advocates for the people of Missouri. I found Governor Carnahan to be absolutely ferocious on the issues that he thought were important to the people of his State. When I heard the news that he had been killed in a tragic plane accident, it saddened me. It saddened our family because we are certain that the Carnahans are suffering greatly. And the people of Missouri have had a terrible loss.”
