SECRETARY-GENERAL EXPRESSES SADNESS AT DEATH OF VETERAN BROADCAST JOURNALIST, LOU CIOFFI
19980505 Following is the text of a statement attributable to the Spokesman for Secretary-General Kofi Annan:The Secretary-General has learned with sadness of the death last Saturday of Lou Cioffi, the veteran broadcast journalist. Mr. Cioffi's distinguished career, first at CBS News and then at ABC news, included extensive reporting on the United Nations. He brought to that assignment the same fairness and thoroughness with which he covered war, famine and other events on several continents. The news world has lost a much-admired foreign correspondent, and the United Nations community has lost a friend and contributor to the cause of peace. The Secretary-General extends his sincere condolences to Mr. Cioffi's family and friends.
