PRESIDENTIAL REMARKS: SPEAKER'S ST. PATRICK'S DAY LUNCHEON
March 18, 1991 12:30 p.m.
Rayburn Room, the Capitol
Mr. Speaker. As a representative of the O'Bush clan, I'm
delighted to be here among so many fellow Irishmen today:
O'Mitchell; O'Lowery; O'Slattery, and all the rest. And I did
bring with me a member of my staff whose name shows he's a son of
"the auld sod": stand up, Fred McClure.
By the way, there's no truth to the rumor that Sean O'Sununu
plans to wield his shillelagh (shill-LAY-lee) to win support on
the Hill this term. I think.
Don't consider it a political commentary if today I offer to
all of you on both sides of the aisle, an old Irish toast: "may
ye be in heaven an hour before the devil hears you're dead."
But I want to be serious for a moment. That's appropriate,
because while the Irish are a people of great joy and love of
life, there's also a fierce streak of determination in them.
Legendary Irish heroes and our very real Desert Storm heroes
share something more than their astounding courage. Something
more than even their vision. The fierce love of country embodied
by both groups -- so many centuries apart -- inspired great
patriotism in their homelands. The virtue and rightness of their
cause restored to their countrymen the finest values -- loyalty,
family and faith.
A poet wrote a verse about old Irish heroes: "Then here's
to their memory. May it be for us a guiding light/ To cheer our
2
strife for liberty, and teach us to unite. "
Well, I'd better close now -- because on St. Patrick's Day
you're supposed to spend time with saints and scholars -- which
means I have two more stops I have to make.
But I want to end on a serious note -- because you truly are
the devoted friends of this nation, and I want to wish you well.
In the warm words of that old Irish toast: "May the road rise to
meet you, may the wind be ever at your back, may the sun shine
warm upon your face, the rain fall softly upon your fields,
and until we meet again, may God hold you in the palm of His
hand. "

life, there's also a fierce streak of solemnity in them.
Back in the mythical days of ancient Ireland, when warriors
were as tall as the skies, the warrior who was the tallest, brav-
est and noblest of them all was Finn MacCumhail (fin mjah-cooL).
He led a band of fine champions nearly as valiant as he. They
were called the Fianna (FEE-ub-nuh). They shared his vision of a
land of goodness, and morality. Faith gave them their strength
and their strength gave them their great victories.
These legendary Irish heroes and our very real Desert Storm
