(Washington, DC, September 12, 2001)

Yesterday, during the events of what will be undoubtedly remembered as America's worst day, the life of Barbara Olson was tragically taken along with possibly thousands of other Americans.

The reports of Mrs. Olson's heroic phone calls of assistance from the hijacked plane are no surprise to us. Throughout her life, Mrs. Olson demonstrated a fearless resolve when protecting the interests of her fellow Americans. She will be greatly missed and will always be remembered as a true American patriot, our friend and colleague.

We, the Directors and Staff of Judicial Watch, would like to express our sincere condolences to the family of Mrs. Olson. Our prayers are with you.
