This brigade comes from good stock. They're well prepared, they're well equipped and they're ready to go.

You have written a new chapter in 1st Brigade history. It is a story of soldiers, men and women, who came together in a time of crisis to answer the country's call.

No commander before me, no commander after me, will be more proud of his soldiers - his warriors - than I am of you today. You've proved that your are a lethal, mobile, agile force to be reckoned with.

Candidates have to look and see if, realistically, there is a way to get there.

Many of the candidates are known only as names and not individuals. People in Iowa and New Hampshire want to get to know you individually, or feel they do. . . . That kind of courtship takes a lot of time and effort.

We will expect that all radio and television advertisements paid in full or in part by soft money will stop running by Monday, September 25, 2000.
