I hope you'll always be glad that you did it.

I thank you very, very much.

A week ago I was in Vietnam, where many people are wondering how to open their doors while protecting their traditions.

The Council shall coordinate assistance to the President-elect in fulfilling his responsibilities.

To assist and support the transition efforts of the President-elect, there is established a Presidential Transition Coordinating Council.

The Administrator of General Services shall coordinate orientation activities for key prospective Presidential appointees.

That's both humbling and inspiring, and suggests a tremendous potential for growth in charitable giving by well-to-do Americans.

When we give what we can and give it with joy, we don't just renew the American tradition of giving, we also renew ourselves.

Personal generosity is an essential ingredient in the mortar that binds our entire community together.

Charitable gifts now exceed 2 percent of our gross domestic product, the highest level of giving in nearly three decades.

We're making a difference, but we still have more to do.

I think that's what they're trying to do, and I hope there will be time to do it.

I am thankful that I live in a country with enough faith in its democracy that we're all letting this thing play out.

I think that the less I say about this right now, the better.

I'm very grateful for how good the people of New York were to Hillary.

Today I am pleased to sign into law S. 1880, the 'Minority Health and Health Disparities Research and Education Act of 2000.'

This bill is a fair compromise.

That's why it is so important that all Americans, like the young people here today, not only give thanks but give something back to their communities to help those who are less fortunate than themselves.

Today I am pleased to sign into law S. 2712, the 'Reports Consolidation Act of 2000.'

Today marks an important occasion for the District of Columbia.

Tomorrow we will celebrate the first Thanksgiving of the new millennium and the last one of our Presidency.

This Center will fund research programs on health disparities and minority health.

The elimination of health disparities will require a comprehensive effort.
