Bill Clinton: “Beach, Florida July 13, 1999 Thank you for that wonderful welcome. You, in particular. [Laughter] Thank you, President…”

“Beach, Florida July 13, 1999 Thank you for that wonderful welcome. You, in particular. [Laughter] Thank you, President Bahr, Mrs. Bahr, members of the executive committee. President Sweeney, it's great to see you here, to see all of you out here and all of those behind. I always knew the CWA was behind me, but when I saw so many people up here, I thought it was a literal truth today. [Laughter] I want to say I also believe that two gentlemen who came with me are still here, Florida representatives, our Democratic Congressman, Representative Alcee Hastings, and Attorney General Bob Butterworth. I welcome them here. I came here, first and foremost, to say a simple thank you. Thank you for what you do to make America great. Thank you for what you have done for me and the Vice President. Thank you for the help you have given us to move this country forward. Harry Truman once said, whenever labor does well, the whole country does well. As usual, he was right. You prove it. The CWA is stronger than it's ever been, and America is more prosperous than it has ever been. The bounty we enjoy today is in no small measure the result of your hard work, every day programming computers, manning customer service centers, electronically filing news stories, running MRI machines, laying the very cable of the information superhighway. The CWA is building the new economy of the 21st century, In that endeavor, the Clinton-Gore administration and our allies in Congress have been your partners.…”
