 Mondale, 86, who served as vice president in the
Carter administration and as U.S. ambassador to Japan for the Clinton
administration, underwent surgery less than a week after attending a memorial
service for his wife of 58 years, Joan Mondale, who died on February 3."He is resting comfortably and is expected to make a full recovery," the
statement said. "His family requests privacy at this time." Mondale, a liberal Democrat who served in the U.S. Senate before becoming vice
president, lost the 1984 presidential election in a landslide to President
Ronald Reagan. (Reporting by David Bailey;
