“New Jersey October 8, 1997 Thank you very much. Thank you, Jim, and thank you, ladies and gentlemen, for being here for him and for our party and for what we're fighting for. I want to thank my longtime friend Alan Solomont for being here and for being the finance chair of our Democratic Party--[applause]--yes, you can clap for him, that's nice--why don't you do that? He has a thankless job. [Laughter] When he calls people, you know--even when he calls me, I think he's going to call and hit me up for a contribution any day. [Laughter] But most of all I'd like to thank the Kushners, Charles and Seryl, and thank you, Rae Kushner, and thank you, Mrs. Felsen. And I thank the children who gave me the shofar, Joshua and Nicole; Dara and Miryam, thank you. And I'm glad we've got a long-distance connection to Israel. In a way, I always have a long-distance connection to Israel. [Laughter] President Weizman was just here; we had a great visit. And of course Mr. Arafat and Prime Minister Netanyahu had a visit of their own, and we're hopeful that the peace process is back on track and so is the-- that the security process is back on track, and I know all of you hope that, as well. But we're working hard on it.…”
