“The Congress on Campus program is not government funded. In order to help institutionalize the program, we held our first annual Statesmanship Award Dinner at the Willard Hotel on February 10, 1998. The dinner was highlighted by an award to the Secretary of Agriculture, Dan Glickman. Cokie Roberts served as MC. The dinner also featured a public and silent auction of presidential and congressional memorabilia. I would like the co-chairmen of this incredibly successful dinner, who did such a wonderful job, the gentleman from Kansas, Mr. Jim Slattery and the gentleman from Missouri, Jack Buechner, to discuss this dinner and next year's event, which is already scheduled for February 23 at the Columbia Club and East Hall at Union Station.”
