I do want you to know that you have the gratitude and the appreciation of your President.
But only in America could a Senator be the guest of honor at a cloak-and-dagger dinner.
I hope that you will give some thought to that.
So I came here tonight to echo this combination of both personal esteem and institutional respect.
