    Remarks at a Democratic National Committee Reception in San Francisco
    March 3, 2000

        Thank you. I want to--you're looking here at a medical miracle. I
    got up this morning at 3 o'clock in the morning your time, and I'm still
    going. [Laughter] I'm glad to be back with Susie and Mark, and I'm glad to be
    here with all of you.
        The major thing I would like to do tonight is have a chance to visit
    with you, so I think I'll forgo the speech and come around and just
    visit, and we'll all talk about whatever you'd like to talk about.
        And Mayor Rendell, thank you for being
    here. Let me say, I've had a great night tonight. I made two appearances
    for Senator Feinstein and the Democratic
    Senate Campaign Committee, and we had very good crowds, and we talked a
    lot about what's going on in America today. So maybe we can have some
    visits about it, and I look forward to it. Thank you very much for
    coming.
        And give us some more music. I love that.
        Thank you.

    Note: The President spoke at 10:29 p.m. at a private residence. In his
    remarks, he referred to reception hosts Susie Thompkins Buell and Mark
    Buell; and Edward G. Rendell, general chair, Democratic National
    Committee. A tape was not available for verification of the content of
    these remarks.
