Statement by President George W. Bush on Judge William Webster

KENNEBUNKPORT, MAINE – Laura and I salute Judge William Webster, who passed away today at age 101. Judge Webster had the respect and confidence of several Presidents from both parties, including my father and me. His passion for the rule of law and for the greatness of America made him a model public servant – and earned him the unique distinction of being the only person to have directed both the CIA and FBI. I am grateful for this good man’s many contributions to our country, and I send my condolences to Lynda and his family.
