Statement from Sean McManus, president of CBS News and Sports:

It was with great sadness that we learned of the death of Tony Snow this morning. Before Tony entered public service, he was an admired and beloved colleague in our industry. He will be remembered not only for his contributions as both a journalist and a public servant, but for his devotion to his family and his love of life. The condolences of everyone at CBS News go out to Tony's wife, Jill, and their three children.
