STATEMENT BY THE VICE PRESIDENT

EASTER 2000

To all those celebrating Easter, Tipper and I extend our warmest greetings.

Just as each spring is filled with promise, reawakening the world and renewing the soul, the celebration of Easter gives Christians throughout the world the chance to renew their faith and refresh their spirit with the joy of the resurrection.

On this day of hope and happiness, let us reflect upon the countless sacrifices made by Americans across this great nation to build a peaceful, beloved national community. In that same spirit, let us use this holy day to rededicate ourselves to the message of love, fellowship, and peace first preached almost 2,000 years ago. Then, we can begin to create a united America in which all our children are able to rise as high as their talents can take them.

May you have a blessed and joyous Easter.
