On the recordOctober 1, 2007
But this was our 37th Annual Legislative Conference, and our theme, as you heard, was ``Unleashing Our Power.'' That is also exactly what we here in the CBC and our constituents across the country intend to do going forward, unleash our power. I also want to join my cochair in thanking the Chair of the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation, Kendrick Meek, for his strong and visionary leadership of the foundation and of the conference, and to thank our CBC chairwoman, the Honorable Carolyn Cheeks Kilpatrick, for her stellar guidance. As we have come into the majority, she has coalesced and directed our power to influence the product of what I think will be a historic 110th Congress. I also, as you heard just a few minutes ago, had a great partner in my cochair, Congressman G.K. Butterfield of North Carolina, whose input, vision and hard work really helped to make this week a successful and momentous one as it was.
