United States Senator Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.) today released the following statement on the passing of former Indiana Senator Richard Lugar:
"The world is better and safer because of Richard Lugar's life of public service. Always a gentleman and always principled, he was a model of what we should hope for in our elected officials. He was a good friend for many years. Honey and I send to Char and to his family our sympathy and respect for his life."
