[Public Papers of the Presidents of the United States: William J. Clinton (1999, Book I)] [June 28, 1999] [Page 1035] [From the U.S. Government Publishing Office www.gpo.gov]Remarks at a Majority 2000 Dinner in New York City June 28, 1999 Hello, everyone. I really came over here just to have a chance to shake hands and say hello, because you were all in the theater, so you heard me speak, and I don't think you should have to endure two speeches. I would like to say again how much I appreciate the leadership role that you assumed in making this evening a great success. I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did. And again, I want to thank the cast and all the people who put the production on. I thought it was magnificent. But mostly, I came here to thank you for making this a success and for helping Mr. Gephardt and the other members of our congressional leadership--you're very happy. We're giving them a chance to have a good November next year. Thank you, Congressman Engel, Congressman Kennedy, Congressman Rangel, Congresswoman Lowey. Thank you all very much. Congressman Payne, thank you. God bless you. Thank you. Note: The President spoke at 8:30 p.m. at the Supper Club restaurant.
