THE WHITE HOUSE
Office of the Press Secretary
_____________________________________________________________________
For Immediate Release June 8, 1993
REMARKS BY THE PRESIDENT
DURING CONGRESSIONAL BARBECUE
The South Lawn
8:55 P.M. EDT
THE PRESIDENT: Thank you. Please sit down. Thank you
very much. We just want to welcome you here. The big bonus of this
evening is there are no speeches and no politics, and I just want to
welcome you here and thank you for coming.
I also want you to know that this tent now has a
hallowed heritage. On Saturday night I had my 25th college reunion
under this tent and nobody left until 1:30 a.m.; so don't feel
bashful if you want to stay awhile.
It is always a privilege to serve our country, but this
is a unique time for all of us because of the point in history in
which we find ourselves. And I just thought it would be great if we
could get together and enjoy each other's company, get to know each
other a little better.
I thank you all for coming, all of you for bringing your
spouses, your staff members, your friends, and I hope you enjoy
yourselves tonight. This is, after all, your place. I'm just a
temporary tenant. I'm glad to be here, glad to welcome you here, and
I wanted Hillary to say a word, too, because we're both so pleased to
be a part of this evening. Thank you again for coming. (Applause.)
MRS. CLINTON: Thank you. Thank you very much. I just
want to add my word of welcome, and it is really a summer celebration
tonight. It's the first real day of the Washington summer for those
of you who have never experienced it before. And one of secret
weapons that Arkansas produces is being served tonight, and that's a
tamale from a place called Doe's. Any of you who were in Little Rock
in the last year know that, and they're back by special request and
demand.
But we're just delighted to have you here. We're
delighted to have a chance to visit with you. And we're going to
have some great music, in addition to what we've already heard in
just a minute, from a group called "Riders in the Sky," if any of you
have heard them. And so enjoy yourself and I hope we get a chance to
visit some more. Thank you all.
