March 16, 1992 Thank you, Governor Thompson, and thank all of you for that warm welcome. Sue Ann, it is such a treat to see you again. May I second the motion on Bob Kasten; it is absolutely essential that he be reelected. And I'm glad to be here with him today. And earlier this morning, we were out at a very dynamic steel company.

You have a wonderful team.…
