All right. Team member. You are one of a kind, aren't you, honey? [Laughter] Ms. Coyle. Mr. President, this is Maureen Coyle again. I'm actually going to hold your scheduling people to that.

[Inaudible]--if you want to come down here and have a tour, I'd be glad to have you down here. Ms. Weatherspoon. We're coming! [Laughter]

Sure. Ms. Weatherspoon. Even though we didn't win it all and, you know, normally the winners get the visitation there at your place, can we still come? [Laughter]

Well, I'm really pleased. I hope you're pleased with your first season, and I hope it continues, because I thought it was great. I watched several of the games on television from the White House, and I thought they were exciting and good…

I watch you all on television. I watch you on television. Ms. Hampton. Okay. Well, you know, I can teach them a little bit about defense; you just continue to defend our little country here there, you know?

I think you have. And you've taught a lot of people a lot about defense. [Laughter] I'll tell you, the next time---- Kym Hampton. Mr. President, I'm Kym Hampton, the other president, and you've been doing your homework, haven't you…

Well, I'm proud of your season. I know that you're feeling good, and I think that you've really got the interest of the country going. Ms. Weatherspoon. We're trying. We're trying to be positive role models for young ladies, even for the…

I wish I were there with you. How are you doing? Ms. Weatherspoon. I'm doing fine. We're doing much better. We're enjoying ourselves and just happy to be able to say hello to you.

What are you doing? Are you having a party somewhere? Team members. Yes! Coach Darsch. We are having a celebration of our season. We're very proud of the way that we've played this season and of the WNBA inaugural season and also the fact…

I'm fine, Coach. Congratulations on your season. Coach Darsch. Well, thank you. We met this past fall at Ohio State, and I'm glad to say that I've moved on, taken this team to the WNBA championships, and I'm jealous of you being on…

Yes. Well, give them my best, and I hope to see you up here someday pretty soon. Coach Chancellor. Okay. I would love to come up there.

Cynthia had a great game, and any of us who has ever been through a childbirth were awful impressed when Sheryl Swoopes came back to play so quickly. Coach Chancellor. Yes. I'm amazed that she was able to have a child and come back and…

Well, I'm strongly supportive of it, and I hope that--like I said, I want you to stay with it, and I'll be supporting you all the way, and congratulate the players for me. Coach Chancellor. I will. They're all in the dressing room, and…

We're on a cell phone, but I think we're doing all right. I can hear you fine. Coach Chancellor. Yes. I do appreciate your support of women's athletics in general.

I'll tell you what, I've followed the season this year. I've watched several games on television. I've really enjoyed it, and I had a chance to get to know some of the players in the league when I went running with the women's Olympic team…

Coach, congratulations. Coach Chancellor. Well, thank you very much. You know, we're from neighboring States. I'm a Mississippi boy.

I will always be glad that I knew the Princess and always think of her in very strong and positive terms.

Hillary and I are about the terrible accident that has taken the life of Princess Diana and the others who were with her.

We admire her work for children, for people with AIDS, for the cause of ending the scourge of landmines in the world.

I think it is better right now if we let a little time pass and let this event and the people involved be honored and grieved.

I know that this is a very difficult time for millions of people in the United Kingdom who are deeply shocked and grieving.

We value their friendship, and we understand this great and painful experience.

I hope to see you up here someday pretty soon.

Challenging our students to achieve excellence works.

We can't do that without a commitment to educational excellence for all those children.
