    Remarks to an Overflow Crowd in Norristown
    January 20, 1999

        Thank you very much. You know, I felt, even when I thought there
    were just a couple of hundred people here, I felt so badly for you
    having to wait and wait and wait.
        But let me tell you, you should know at least it is a lot cooler in
    here than it is in there. We have had a wonderful, wonderful time here.
    We are very grateful to all of you for coming out, for supporting your
    schools, supporting your

    communities, supporting your country, and we thank you so much. And of
    course, just personally, it's meant a great deal to Al and Tipper and to
    Hillary and me to see you here and see you so enthusiastic about the
    future.
        I want you to remember how you feel tonight, and I want you to keep
    it with you all year long. We've got a lot to do, and it's going to be
    good for America.
        God bless you.
