REAGAN ALUMNI ENDORSE JOHN MCCAIN FOR PRESIDENT

U.S. Senator John McCain's presidential campaign today announced a group of nearly 100 prominent Reagan Administration alumni who have endorsed John McCain for president.

"As former Reagan Administration officials, we are inspired by the same qualities in John McCain today that we so admired in President Reagan," said former White House Counsel Arthur B. Culvahouse. "John McCain was a foot soldier in the Reagan Revolution, and he understands America's role in the world -- a powerful global leader working to serve as an example and promote democracy and freedom around the world. John McCain has a lifetime record of service to his country. In Congress, he led the fight to limit government, lower taxes, cut spending and keep families strong. John McCain is the only candidate who can rally the Reagan coalition of conservatives, Independents and conservative Democrats needed to defeat the Democratic nominee in the general election next year."

John McCain thanked the alumni, stating, "President Reagan stands out in history as a leader who recognized America's potential and had a vision for her future. I knew President Reagan well, and respected and admired his unwavering leadership in the face of grave challenges, and his fortitude to take on the toughest issues. I am grateful to have the support of so many friends and colleagues who have all worked to build and maintain President Reagan's legacy."
