My heartfelt condolences to the family of James Schlesinger.Although words cannot take away the pain, our loving Heavenly Father understand our circumstances and gives you the strength and power beyond normal to cope. May He grant you the needed comfort. (Philipians 4:6,7,13)

I was very sad to read of James Schlesinger's passing.I had been trying for several months to find a mailing address for him so that I could send him a book on SE Asia oil and gas exploration. He played a pivotal but little-known role in the development of Indonesia's gas resources. Please contact me so that I can mail a copy of the book to a family member. [email protected]

Thank You for being the human being you were & representing Springfield, Ohio.

Dr. Schlesinger was rare among political people in Washington: he was first and foremost, an American. I treasure the many hours that we spent together at MITRE and in his home, discussing topics across the intellectual spectrum. He was a good friend, valued advisor and towering intellect. I will miss him greatly. My sincere condolences to Ann and the rest of the family.

Sincerely sorry for your loss.

My sincere sympathy to the family for the loss of your dear loved one. May you find peace and comfort in Psalms 65:2. Again my deepest sympathy.

My condolences to the family. May God, who gives comfort to all, comfort you during the difficult days ahead. 2Cor 1:4

I am sure that you are hearing what a great man your Dad was from everyone writing in. They are all obviously correct! But he was a very caring man, as well. It was a privilege to work for him. He and your Mom have left a wonderful legacy -- all of you!
