    Remarks to an Overflow Crowd in Buffalo, New York
    January 20, 1999

        Thank you. Wow! Good morning. Good afternoon. [Laughter] I want to
    say, first of all, how very grateful that Hillary and Al and Tipper and
    I are that you all came out to see us today to make us feel so welcome.
    I want to thank your mayor, your county
    executive, Mrs. Eve, and especially Congressman John LaFalce for being here with us. He is a great man.
        You know, we don't want to put you through the speeches and
    everything because you have the monitors here, and you're going to see
    them. But let me say that Buffalo has been wonderful to me and to
    Hillary, to Al and Tipper. We are so grateful. We remember when we came
    here together in 1992. And I'm always glad to come back, even in the
    snow. Yes, that's right. This guy says, ``This ain't nothing.''
    [Laughter] And we had some buffalo wings in the holding room.
        And we just want you to know how much we appreciate you, how much we
    appreciate the support that you've given us in two elections, how
    grateful we are for the chance to serve, and how committed we are to the
    agenda that I outlined last night. Let me also--we want you to be
    committed to it, too.
        We want to get out here and shake a few hands, and we don't want to
    keep those other 20,000 people waiting. And you'll see the movie. And
    thank you very much. We're glad to be here.
        God bless you.

    Note: The President spoke at noon in the Harbor Room at the Marine
    Midland Arena. In his remarks, he referred to Mayor Anthony M. Masiello
    of Buffalo; Erie County Executive Dennis T. Gorski; and Constance B.
    Eve, chairperson and founder, Women for Human Rights and Dignity, Inc.
    The transcript released by the Office of the Press Secretary also
    included the remarks of Vice President Al Gore.
