We are beginning the new year with a reform that requires Congress to live under the laws it imposes on the American people.

You remember what Mark Twain said, ``The reports of our demise are premature.'' I could have listened to Al Gore talk all day about that. [Laughter] The Vice President. You thought you might have to. [Laughter]

I'm proud of the many Americans who joined the massive Japanese relief effort.
