WASHINGTON, D.C. - Director of National Intelligence Avril D. Haines today released the following statement on the passing of Former President Jimmy Carter:

“We received the news of President Jimmy Carter’s passing with deep sadness. We join his family, friends, and many admirers around the United States and the world in mourning his loss and celebrating his extraordinary legacy.

He will be remembered not only for his great service to our nation as its 39th President, but also for his life-long focus on human rights, fighting poverty, and promoting democracy and peace. He consistently pushed us to be better and never gave in to cynicism. I am grateful for his inspiring leadership and his incredible contributions -- he made the world, in large and small ways, a better place for us all.

To his family, we offer our condolences and hope that President Carter’s legacy of service and the everlasting imprint he has made on our world brings them comfort at this difficult time.”
