WASHINGTON -- U.S. Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison (R-TX), Texas’ senior senator, released a statement on the passing of noted author, publisher, and conservative commentator William F. Buckley, Jr.:
“I was deeply saddened to learn of the passing of William F. Buckley, Jr. today. For over 50 years Bill Buckley made an enormous contribution to American culture and politics.
