SPEAKERS AT SOUTHWEST VOTER REGISTRATION AND EDUCATION PROJECT DINNER -- JULY 15, 1997

Vice President Al Gore:

"We're proud to stand with you against Propostion 187 - we'll fight Proposition 187 in other states as well... We're counting on you. You really hold the key. "Hispanics are on the move. Some states don't want to make it easy to register so we've sued Pete Wilson."

Henry Cisneros Secretary of Housing and Urban Development:

"Show me an immigrant who came across the border last night and I will show you someone who wants to invest in the American future. And that's the bloodline we all come from. "As goes the Latino population of California so goes California and so goes America. That is what Southwest Voter must do, you must stand for our Latino future.

[In Spanish]

"How beautiful the new world that has a governor named Gonzalez, Hernandez or Martinez. Hispanic names for mayor of Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Diego."
