FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE AG MONDAY, NOVEMBER 24, 1997 (202) 616-2777 TDD (202) 514-1888



STATEMENT OF ATTORNEY GENERAL JANET RENO


"Mike Shaheen is one of the most dedicated public servants I have known. He carried out a sensitive job with skill and integrity. He worked hard to insure that attorney misconduct was investigated as thoroughly, fairly and openly as possible. Our system of justice is more accountable because of the work of the Office of Professional Responsibility. I will miss him as a colleague, and as a friend."
