Statement by Former Senator Pete Domenici on the Death of Former Senator Ted Stevens

WASHINGTON, Aug. 10 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The following is a statement by former U.S. Senator Pete Domenici (R-NM) on the death of former U.S. Senator Ted Stevens (R-AK):

"I served with Ted Stevens during my entire 36 years in the United States Senate and without a doubt he was one of the best friends a man could have.  He was a dedicated American with a long-standing and impressive record of public service -- a World War II veteran and a Senator who worked tirelessly to help his state and its citizens. His strength and fortitude grew with age and he became a pillar of the Senate.

"Most Americans only knew Ted Stevens by his appearances on television and by reputation. His gruff exterior concealed a generous and caring man who went out of his way many times to help me and his other colleagues in ways great and small.

"Alaskans and all Americans have lost a true hero. My heart and condolences go out to his family."
