Remarks by the President in Photo Opportunity with Congressional Hispanic Caucus
The Cabinet Room
5:24 P.M. EDT
THE
PRESIDENT: I thank you all for coming. It's my
honor to welcome Chairman Reyes and members of the Hispanic Caucus
here. I thank them for coming. It's going to give
us a very good chance to get to know each other on a personal basis, as
well as to talk about some issues that are of deep concern to the
members of the Congress. And, Mr. Chairman, I'm honored to
have you here.
One of the
things that I know the Chairman knows is that I respect the Hispanic
culture a lot. When I was a governor for the state of Texas,
I used to remind my fellow Texans that our state was richer as a result
of the Hispanic culture. And I look forward to working with
the members here on a variety of issues, not the least of which is to
make sure the world is more peaceful, more educated, and more
prosperous.
So, thank
you all for coming. Thank you for being here.
END 5:25 P.M. EDT
