Bill Clinton: “Thank you. [Applause] Yes, give them a hand. That's great. I didn't mention this earlier, but we are having, 2 weeks…”

“Thank you. [Applause] Yes, give them a hand. That's great. I didn't mention this earlier, but we are having, 2 weeks from today--maybe, and maybe it starts 2 weeks from yesterday; but either 2 weeks from yesterday or today, we're having our annual empowerment zone and enterprise community national convention that the Vice President hosts, and we're doing it in south Texas this year, in a small town, rural empowerment zone area we had down there. I think it's in McAllen. And it's a great place to go if you've never been there. And we're going to all gather down there, and, Mayor, if either you're going, or whoever is going from Atlanta representing you--I'm sure you'll be represented there--I think the point that John just made is one that ought to be made there. Because we have now had enough experience with these empowerment zones that we can see differences in the rate of effectiveness. And I think this is a point that ought to be hammered home. So if either you go, or if you will instruct whoever is going on behalf of Atlanta to make that point, I'd appreciate it. Tricia? Tricia Donegan. Hi, welcome. Thanks for coming to Atlanta. You're the first guy to get me off a day of work so-- [laughter]--since we've opened.”
