“Dinner May 18, 1995 Thank you, Admiral, for that introduction, and thank you, ladies and gentlemen, for that rousing welcome. Can we do this again tomorrow night? Thank you, Admiral. Thank you, Gloria Caoile. To all the Members of Congress who are here--I thought I had a list of all of them, but I can look outside there and see I don't. I have seen Congressman Mineta, Congressman Matsui, Congressman Underwood, Congressman Kim, Congressman Faleomavaega. I see Congressman McDermott out there--your Medicare hearing was great--[laughter]--I watched you on C-Span--all the Members of Congress. I want you to know I'm watching you all the time on C-Span. [Laughter] I see Senator Inouye and Senator Robb, and there may be others here. And if I have not mentioned you, I am sorry, I apologize. I'm delighted to see your co-emcees here. First, Ming-Na Wen, whom I first saw in the wonderful movie ``Joy Luck Club'' when Amy Tan came to the White House and showed it, and then my daughter makes me watch ``ER'' whenever I can. [Laughter] I was tired when I got here, and then I shook hands with her and my blood started pumping, so I feel so good. [Laughter] I'm especially glad to see George Takei, because I came here to talk about how we're going to take America into the 21st century, and he's already been there. [Laughter] This may be largely an academic exercise to him.…”
