<H1 property="dc:title">Statement from the President on the Passing of Baroness
Margaret Thatcher</H1>
<H3></H3>
<P>With the passing of Baroness Margaret Thatcher, the world has lost one of the
great champions of freedom and liberty, and America has lost a true
friend. As a grocer’s daughter who rose to become Britain’s first female
prime minister, she stands as an example to our daughters that there is no glass
ceiling that can’t be shattered. As prime minister, she helped restore the
confidence and pride that has always been the hallmark of Britain at its
best. And as an unapologetic supporter of our transatlantic alliance, she
knew that with strength and resolve we could win the Cold War and extend
freedom’s promise.</P>
<P>Here in America, many of us will never forget her standing shoulder to
shoulder with President Reagan, reminding the world that we are not simply
carried along by the currents of history—we can shape them with moral
conviction, unyielding courage and iron will. Michelle and I send
our thoughts to the Thatcher family and all the British people as we carry on
the work to which she dedicated her life—free peoples standing together,
determined to write our own destiny.</P></FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
