Condoleezza Rice on Passing of Milton Friedman
Statement on Passing of Milton Friedman
Secretary Condoleezza Rice
Hanoi, Vietnam
November 17, 2006
With the passing of Milton
Friedman, a great Nobel Laureate in Economics, I have lost
a great friend and the nation has lost a one-of-a kind
leader and intellect. In addition to being one of the
brightest intellectual lights of our nation, Milton was
warm, funny, and irrepressible. He was a source of great
support to me during my time as Provost at Stanford
University and continued to be a friend and advisor when I
returned to government. My thoughts and prayers go out to
his remarkable wife Rose. She was a full partner in all that
he did. We all share her loss.
