“Thank you very much. I always enjoy coming to Louisiana and coming to this capitol building. I keep thinking I will somehow capture the secret of how you do it here. I thank you for that warm welcome. Governor Foster, thank you for your introduction. Mrs. Foster, Mr. Speaker, Senator Ewing, to your statewide elected officials, Senator Breaux and Congressman Jefferson, Congressman Fields, members of the Supreme Court, members of the State House and Senate, and all the guests who are here: I am very honored to be invited to speak to the Louisiana Legislature. I thank the Governor for coming up here with me. It's nice to see Republicans and Democrats standing together on the same little piece of ground here. [Laughter] I hope somebody got a picture of this. We're going to show it in Washington, DC. Somebody asked me if this was a good idea. I said, ``I don't know if it's a good idea for him, but anybody that comes to work in a camouflage hunting outfit is my kind of guy.'' I like it. [Laughter] I do want you to know that I have not been in Baton Rouge all day; I started the morning in New Orleans. And we all went to lunch there, and I paid some good sales tax in Louisiana--[laughter]--had a wonderful meal, ate too much food. And what I ate was Louisiana crawfish, not Chinese crawfish.…”
