DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNICATIONS VIDEOTAPED REMARKS FOR PRESIDENTIAL FAREWELL VIDEO Terry: Mr. President, you once said you'd be there for us until the last dog dies. Well, this is a message from a few of the last dogs.. and we ain't dead yet. Sid: We want you to know we'll be there for you: even when the last speech has been given. and the last "real person" has come and gone. Loretta: As the communications staff for our nation's greatest communicator, it has been our honor, our challenge, and our privilege to serve. Mr. President, we thank you. Terry: So keep building those bridges, sir. We'll join you along the way. Sid: [leans in, smiles] The Third Way! save a few pennies at the gas pump. In 1995, I used my veto to prevent oil drilling here, and I will continue - as a private citizen - to defend it from exploitation. But before I re-assume that simple but proud title of "citizen" this weekend, I have some unfinished business to complete as President. Over the past 200 years, the White House has been witness to a remarkable sweep of American history, from the mundane to the magnificent. It was right here, in the East Room, that First Lady Abigail Adams used to hang up the Presidential laundry to dry, and here in this room that union soldiers slept during the Civil War. It was also here that a young idealist named Meriwether Lewis - summoned by President Jefferson to serve as his personal secretary - first unpacked his traveler's trunk, and set up quarters in 1801. The history books tell us this room looked quite different back then: no chandeliers, no parquet floors, no silk drapes - just the rough slatting of walls awaiting plaster, and two stone hearths to ward off the winter chill. But if this empty hall lacked grandeur, the ideas that filled it made up for all of that. For it was here that Jefferson and Lewis - down on their hands and knees - first unfurled an unfinished map of a great continent, and planned a bold expedition of discovery. Given all that followed - one of history's great journeys of exploration, the opening of the American west, and ultimately the nation we know today - it is entirely fitting that we meet here in this room to celebrate that early vision, and to protect this historic legacy for generations to come. Of course, most of the wild landscape Meriwether Lewis and William Clark traversed nearly two centuries ago has changed beyond recognition - forests have been cut; prairies plowed; rivers dammed; cities built. That is the march of time. But there are still a few wild places left, rugged reminders of our nation's rich history, and nature's enduring majesty. At the dawn of the 21st century, they are more important to America than ever, and so - after careful review and extensive public input - we protect them today by establishing them as National Monuments. The first of these Monuments covers a remote stretch of the Missouri River in central Montana, known as the Upper Missouri River Breaks. If you canoe these magical waters or hike their weathered bluffs, you might well encounter deer, elk, bear, wolves, mountain lions or even bighorn sheep - just as Lewis and Clark did in 1805. In a journal entry dated May 31st of that year, Lewis wrote "The hills and river cliffs which we passed today exhibit a most romantic appearance As we passed on, it seemed as if those scenes of visionary enchantment would never have an end." Today we protect the Breaks SO these "scenes of visionary enchantment" will never end, as long as Americans cherish our heritage and pass it on to future generations. The second monument we designate today is also in Montana. It is Pompey's Pillar, the sandstone outcrop named after Pompey, the newborn son of Sacagawea, the expedition's rigors of the wilderness fostered a certain camaraderie and respect among York and his fellow explorers, that did not translate into freedom upon his return. Only years later did he finally gain his liberty, before fading into history. Today, in recognition of York's selfless contributions to the Corps of Discovery and his service to our country, the Army has named him an Honorary Scout. Jim Holmberg, an archivist and scholar of the expedition, will accept the citation on York's behalf. Even as we finally right these wrongs, and even as we celebrate the legacy of Lewis and Clark, we recognize the irony inherent in their expedition. Theirs was an historic journey of discovery that opened up the American West, a mythic frontier that even today endures in the American mind as a symbol of freedom. But York, a slave, was anything but free. And Sacagawea's tribe - like its neighbors - would in decades to come be swept away by a flood of American settlers, determined to claim the Great Plains and the land beyond. These are hard truths. They do not fit comfortably within the narrow moral boundaries of manifest destiny, or square with modern American notions of democracy and diversity. But just as our nation has grown physically through the course of its history, so too have we grown as a people. It has been precisely this capacity for growth - an expanding awareness of our common humanity and shared destiny - that makes our democracy resilient and strong. Nearly two centuries ago, Lewis and Clark used the compass on this table to navigate a continent of possibility. Now, America is setting out to navigate a new century of possibility. If we can protect our nation's natural and historic heritage - if we recognize that our fate is inextricably linked to that of the land we love - we will surely leave this world a little better than we found it, and this nation a little closer to that more perfect union of our Founders' dreams. -#- Withdrawal/Redaction Marker Clinton Library DOCUMENT NO.
