Remarks Following a Cabinet Meeting

November 4, 2004

    I just met with my Cabinet. I am proud of every person here. They've 
done a great job for the country. I reminded them that even though our 
election just ended, we've still got work to do. I talked about an 
agenda that we will complete and an agenda that we will take forward.
    I made it clear to them I was glad the election was over and 
reminded them that we're here for a reason. And to a person, they 
understand that it's such an honor to serve America, it's a privilege to 
sit around this table, and that we will all continue to do the people's 
business.
    But anyway, I want to thank them all for their hard work. I am--when 
I told the people that I put together a fantastic group of men and 
women, I meant every word of that, and I want to thank them all for 
their service.
    Thank you.
