In a Washington marked by the kind of partisanship that can wear down grace, Lloyd was a natural patrician, and a man of deep reason. Nothing could wear away his special grace. In a bitter age, he reminded us of a wiser and gentler one, a time with a broader view and greater generosity. . . . Lloyd was a gentleman—and a gentle man. He was one of the Wise Men—and he was a wise man. He was a member of a vanishing breed. Indeed, it could be said he was truly one of a kind. As President Clinton put it when he announced Lloyd’s appointment as counsel, “I wanted a Lloyd Cutler type of lawyer, so I just decided I would go to the original fi rst.” Lloyd was a great and generous friend and traveling companion. Whenever he, Polly, Joan and I traveled abroad, Lloyd arranged everything—the hotel, the theater, the restaurants. And, in addition, he tried to pick up all the checks. I told him that investment bankers get paid more than lawyers. He’d inform me that this was just more proof that the market can’t always be trusted to give the greatest rewards to the most gifted minds. Lloyd was by nature dignifi ed. He could be reticent, even restrained. A lot of his friends teased him when, as was widely publicized, he referred to Polly as “peppy.” He really meant sexy but “peppy” was as far as Lloyd could go. Lloyd was also the ultimate go-to guy. He was a peerless analyzer of problems, an unsurpassed solver of them. He knew a lot, but he also knew what he didn’t know, which happens to be a talent. When he didn’t know something, however, he knew exactly who did. And he would direct you to that person, and you’d get the help you needed. What drove him? We all know. More than anything he was devoted to public service. He wanted to help; he wanted to make the time and place he’d been born into better. When Warren Rudman, Paul Tsongas and I set up The Concord Coalition, we not only wanted to have equal numbers from both parties, but, in a sense, we wanted to be nonpartisan about the facts, and let the facts, and the national interest, as we saw it, guide us. We needed someone with total integrity, a commodity in distressingly short supply. We needed a partner who’d won respect on both sides of the aisle. Like generations of hopeful reformers before us, we said, “Get Lloyd Cutler.” And Lloyd, being Lloyd—with his big brain and his big heart—came, and helped, and became our fi rst—and only —Secretary and Treasurer. “Get Lloyd Cutler.” Those are three great words. Important words, too. They’ve been said in Washington for almost fi fty years. “Ask Lloyd Cutler.” Those words have been said in the White House and Capitol Hill and the corridors of power for half a century. “What does Lloyd think? What does Lloyd say?” Those were questions the answers to which promised wisdom, soundness, and a bit of tough wit, too. This nation was lucky he was here. I don’t know what we’re going to do without him. I don’t know what they’re going to say now in the corridors of power when they need a great man and a great heart to show them the way. —Peter G. Peterson fh

Lloyd Cutler was a happy man; he was also a man fulfi lled. His happiness was due in good part to his marriage to Polly, whom he referred to as his “peppy” wife, who brought him love, a wide variety of interests, loyal and ardent friends and continued access to that commodity which is most important in Washington as well as in , namely delicious and vivid gossip. Lloyd reveled in all that as most of us do. Polly made Lloyd happy and it was a joy to watch them together. Lloyd was fulfi lled because he had reached a stature that very few reach in private or in public life, as a lawyer and as an advisor to every president in recent memory. Of his innumerable accomplishments, I believe his most lasting contribution to the welfare of our country may have been the selection of Supreme Court justices made by President Clinton, present company included. Lloyd represented an era when bipartisanship was practiced by leaders who put the country fi rst and who believed, just as he did, that “Trust is the coin of the realm.” Modesty and humor; a twinkle in his eye and exquisite judgment. I will miss this man who was public service personifi ed and a loyal friend as well as a role model. Most importantly the country will have lost a powerful voice for reason and for fairness, at a time when such voices are harder and harder to fi nd. —Felix G. Rohatyn Ushers
