chairman of one of the committees of this Convention.

2

I think it only proper that at this point that

3

I say very clearly that without the help, the assistance,

4

and the cooperation of the members of my committee and,

5

in addition, the understanding and the help of the

6

members of this Convention, that whatever honor I was

7

able to bring to that job I did bring.

8

Thirdly, I would like on a much more personal

9

note to bring to your attention the fact that I could

10

not have come here at all without my younger daughter

11

assuming much more responsibility than any seventeen-year

12

old should be asked to do, and I convinced her finally to

13

come today and to join me in this, a very significant day.

14

I hope you will welcome my daughter, Tammy,

15

who is in the balcony over the rostrum. (Applause)

THE PRESIDENT: Delegate Roger.

DELEGATE ROGER: Mr. Chairman and ladies and

18

gentlemen:

19

I hope that you will welcome my wife, Dorothy,

20

who is here today. (Applause)
