Let’s drink a toast to our friendly cooperation! The party is now declared open. I am delighted to declare the meeting open! I have the privilege of declaring open the meeting. It is a great pleasure and privilege that I, on behalf of the organizing committee of the meeting, to extend a hearty welcome to all of you. Now we invite Mr. White to address our meeting. nullNow let us welcome with warm applause Mr. David to speak to us. On the occasion of the opening of this meeting, I would like, on behalf of my colleagues and myself , to extend our warmest congratulation.

I would like to thank the People's Government of Sichuan for inviting us to attend this important event where government leaders from Beijing and twelve other provinces meeting to discuss strategies for developing China's Western Region. This event reflects the strong commitment of the Government and the people of China to develop its Western Regions.  I am very impressed with the enthusiasm and determination demonstrated not only by the public sector, but also by the increasing level of private sector interest in supporting the Western development goals set forth by the government.null Although opening to the rest of the world is vital, China's future is chiefly determined by the growth of its domestic market. The Government's push to accelerate the development of the western provinces is vital to the success of achieving a sustained growth for China in the long-run. If the growth rate of western provinces lags, it will retard the growth rate of the whole economy. Given the significant incidence of poverty in the western provinces, growth is essential to create the jobs needed to reduce poverty and the prevailing inequalities. The purpose of my current visit to China is to assess recent economic developments in China and to discuss with senior leaders of the Government the World Bank Group's assistance strategy for China after its accession to the WTO. I started my visit two days ago in the western province of Yunnan and have now come to Sichuan.null I have seen good examples of how the World Bank Group can offer assistance to the Government and the private sector to develop China's West. There are also formidable challenges, however, that cannot be overlooked. But I am confident that these challenges will be managed. In closing, I would like to thank the Government of Sichuan for its support to the World Bank and IFC operations in Sichuan. We look forward to working with all of you to contribute to the development of China's West and to improve people's lives in this important part of the country. Now, I declare the opening of the Western China International Economic & Trade Fair. Thank you!  null EASTICA Closing Speech 国际档案理事会东亚地区分会闭幕词 Ladies and gentlemen，dear colleagues Thanks to the joint efforts and contribution from all participants, the Second General Conference of EASTICA is going to be closed successfully. In the past two days, we discussed the future activities of EASTICA, elected new members of the Executive Board, adopted the Resolution and decided the dates and place of the Third General Conference of EASTICA. We have reached agreements on all of these issues, which will be of great significance to EASTICA and to the future archival work of East Asia. Just as Charles said in his opening speech that the old Asia is at the time of dynamic economic development. Archival work should keep pace with this new situation and to meet the challenge.null Taking this opportunity, I would like also to express thanks to William Wallach from the Bentley Historical Library of Michigan University and Qiu Xiaowei from the Central Archives of China for their excellent presentation on computer application in archives. I believe, these lectures are of great reference to computerization of archives management in East Asia. We are happy to see that the archival work in East Asia has made great progress. Here, on behalf of the organizing Committee of 13th International Congress on Archives, I would like to invite all of you to come to Beijing to attend this conference.

Now, I declare the closing of the Second General Conference of EASTICA. Thank you. null Acceptance Speech (Recipient Address for Oscar Academy Award) Good Evening!

On behalf of the graduating masters and doctoral students of Washington University's School of Engineering and Applied Science, I would like to thank all the parents, spouses, families, and friends who encouraged and supported us as we worked towards our graduate degrees. I would especially like to thank my own family, eight members of which are in the audience today. I would also like to thank all of the department secretaries and other engineering school staff members who always seemed to be there when confused graduate students needed help. And finally I would like to thank the Washington University faculty members who served as our instructors, mentors, and friends. As I think back on the seven-and-a-half years I spent at Washington University, my mind is filled with memories, happy, sad, frustrating, and even humorous. nullTonight I would like to share with you some of the memories that I take with me as I leave Washington University. I take with me the memory of two young professors who passed away while I was a graduate student. Anne Johnstone, the only female professor from whom I took a course in the engineering school, and Bob Durr, a political science professor and a member of my dissertation committee, both lost brave battles with cancer. I remember them fondly. nullI take with me the memory of failing the first exam in one of the first engineering courses I took as an undergraduate. I remember thinking the course was just too hard for me and that I would never be able to pass it. So I went to talk to the professor, ready to drop the class. And he told me not to give up, he told me I could succeed in his class. For reasons that seemed completely ludicrous at the time, he said he had faith in me. And after that my grades in the class slowly improved, and I ended the semester with an A on the final exam. I remember how motivational it was to know that someone believed in me. I take with me the memory of the short-lived computer science graduate student social committee lunches. The idea was that groups of CS grad students were supposed to take turns cooking a monthly lunch. But after one grad student prepared a pot of chicken that poisoned almost the entire CS grad student population and one unlucky faculty member in one fell swoop, there wasn't much enthusiasm for having more lunches. nullI take with me the memory of a more successful graduate student effort, the establishment of the Association of Graduate Engineering Students, known as AGES. Started by a handful of engineering graduate students because we needed a way to elect representatives to a campus-wide graduate student government, AGES soon grew into an organization that now sponsors a wide variety of activities and has been instrumental in addressing a number of engineering graduate student concerns. I take with me memories of exams that seemed designed more to test endurance and perseverance than mastery of the subject matter. I managed to escape taking any classes that featured infamous 24-hour-take-home exams, but remember the suffering of my less fortunate colleagues. And what doctoral student could forget the pain and suffering one must endure to survive the qualifying exams. nullFinally, I would like to conclude by quoting from Malcom: education is our passport to the future, for tomorrow belongs to the people who prepare for it today. May every one of us in the future have our positive influence on the world! Thank you! null US President's radio address on the Thanksgiving Day Good morning. As Americans gather to celebrate this week, we show our gratitude for the many blessings in our lives. We are grateful for our friends and families who fill our lives with purpose and love. We're grateful for our beautiful country, and for the prosperity we enjoy. We're grateful for the chance to live, work and worship in freedom. And in this Thanksgiving week, we offer thanks and praise to the provider of all these gifts, Almighty God. We also recognize our duty to share our blessings with the least among us. Throughout the holiday season, schools, churches, synagogues and other generous organizations gather food and clothing for their neighbors in need. Many young people give part of their holiday to volunteer at homeless shelters or food pantries. On Thanksgiving, and on every day of the year, America is a more hopeful nation because of the volunteers who serve the weak and the vulnerable. The Thanksgiving tradition of compassion and humility dates back to the earliest days of our society. And through the years, our deepest gratitude has often been inspired by the most difficult times. Almost four centuries ago, the pilgrims set aside time to thank God after suffering through a bitter winter. George Washington held Thanksgiving during a trying stay at Valley Forge. And President Lincoln revived the Thanksgiving tradition in the midst of a civil war. null The past year has brought many challenges to our nation, and Americans have met every one with energy, optimism and faith. After lifting our economy from a recession, manufacturers and entrepreneurs are creating jobs again. Volunteers from across the country came together to help hurricane victims rebuild. And when the children of Beslan, Russia suffered a brutal terrorist attack, the world saw America's generous heart in an outpouring of compassion and relief. The greatest challenges of our time have come to the men and women who protect our nation. We're fortunate to have dedicated firefighters and police officers to keep our streets safe. We're grateful for the homeland security and intelligence personnel who spend long hours on faithful watch. And we give thanks to the men and women of our military who are serving with courage and skill, and making our entire nation proud. Like generations before them, today's armed forces have liberated captive peoples and shown compassion for the suffering and delivered hope to the oppressed. null In the past year, they have fought the terrorists abroad so that we do not have to face those enemies here at home. They've captured a brutal dictator, aided last month's historic election in Afghanistan, and help set Iraq on the path to democracy. Our progress in the war on terror has made our country safer, yet it has also brought new burdens to our military families. Many servicemen and women have endured long deployments and painful separations from home. Families have faced the challenge of raising children while praying for a loved one's safe return. America is grateful to all our military families, and the families mourning a terrible loss this Thanksgiving can know that America will honor their sacrifices forever. As Commander-in-Chief, I've been honored to thank our troops at bases around the world, and I've been inspired by the efforts of private citizens to express their own gratitude. This month, I met Shauna Fleming, a 15-year-old from California who coordinated the mailing of a million thank you letters to military personnel. In October, I met Ken Porwoll, a World War II veteran who has devoted years of his retirement to volunteering at a VA medical center in Minneapolis. And we've seen the generosity of so many organizations, like Give2theTroops, a group started in a basement by a mother and son that has sent thousands of care packages to troops in the field. Thanksgiving reminds us that America's true strength is the compassion and decency of our people. I thank all those who volunteer this season, and Laura and I wish every American a happy and safe Thanksgiving weekend. Thank you for listening. null Clinton‘s Farewell Speech My fellow citizens, tonight is my last opportunity to speak to you from the Oval Office as your president. 　 I am profoundly grateful to you for twice giving me the honor to serve, to work for you and with you to prepare our nation for the 21st century. And I’m grateful to Vice President Gore, to my Cabinet secretaries, and to all those who have served with me for the last eight years. 　 This has been a time of dramatic transformation, and you have risen to every new challenge. You have made our social fabric stronger, our families healthier and safer, our people more prosperous. 　　You, the American people, have made our passage into the global information age an era of great American renewal. 　　 　 　　In all the work I have done as president, every decision I have made, every executive action I have taken, every bill I have proposed and signed, I‘ve tried to give all Americans the tools and conditions to build the future of our dreams, in a good society, with a strong economy, a cleaner environment, and a freer, safer, more prosperous world. 　　 　　I have steered my course by our enduring values. Opportunity for all. Responsibility from all. A community of all Americans. I have sought to give America a new kind of government, smaller, more modern, more effective, full of ideas and policies appropriate to this new time, always putting people first, always focusing on the future. 　　 null 　 　 we must remember that America cannot lead in the world unless here at home we weave the threads of our coat of many colors into the fabric of one America. As we become ever more diverse, we must work harder to unite around our common values and our common humanity. 　　 　 　　We must work harder to overcome our differences. In our hearts and in our laws, we must treat all our people with fairness and dignity, regardless of their race, religion, gender or sexual orientation and regardless of when they arrived in our country, always moving toward the more perfect union of our founders‘ dreams. 　　 　 　　As for me, I‘ll leave the presidency more idealistic, more f
