Mr. President and Mrs. Bush, President and Mrs. Carter, President and Mrs. Bush, members of the Eisenhower, Nixon, Johnson, Kennedy and Carter families。 to the vast number of members of Congress and former members of Congress here I dont know where they are because youre all in ponchos (cheers) but there they are。 theres a huge group from Congress, and the president sent four planes down and I thank him for that。 to all the guests from other countries。 and my fellow Americans wele to my rainy library dedication. (Laughter) Thank you Skip Rutherford and all those on my staff and the volunteers from Arkansas and across America who work so hard to make this event just perfect ( he laughs) and except for one thing, it is. I thank the previous speakers and those who have sung and entertained. Mr. President, I cant thank you enough for your generous words and for ing to the opening at all. I mean, after all, you just delayed your own library opening by four years. (Laughter.) I congratulate you on your election, and I wish you Godspeed, especially in a new and more hopeful time for peace in the Middle East. I remember the first time I ever heard George W. Bush give a speech in Iowa, and I called a friend of mine and I said: My God, that guy can beat us. He is a good politician. He has been very kind and generous to my family, and I thank him for that. Today were all red, white and blue. I thank former President Bush and Mrs. Bush for ing and for their service to our nation. President Bush, I loved all that stuff you said. But I want to thank you for something seriously. In 1989, after I had been governor for a long time, you were the president who finally called us together and asked us to develop national education goals for America so that all our children could get a good education. It was the beginning of a serious reform effort, which I tried to carry through and which I know President Bush has tried to push. So thank you for doing that and for giving me the opportunity to work with you. Thank you President and Mrs. Carter for all you did in the White House and all youve done in the years since to make the world more just and peaceful. John Quincy Adams once said, There is nothing in life so pathetic as a former president. Well, he turned out to be wrong because of his own service, and President Carter has proved that nothing could be further fr
