NEW YORK, Sept. 1 /PRNewswire/ -- The following is the introduction of
Secretary Chao by Senator McConnell (KY), remarks as prepared for delivery at
the 2004 Republican National Convention:
Four years ago, Elaine Chao answered President Bush's call to help prepare
the American workforce for the 21st century.
Elaine is the best Labor Secretary the President could have chosen for
these challenging times.
And I would say that even if she weren't my wife.
Elaine came to America at age eight, after a month-long journey by sea
from Taiwan. Her father worked three jobs to put all six of his children
through college.
Her mother made sure they learned English and kept up their studies.
From California, where she first set foot in America, to New York, where she
grew up, and from Kentucky, where we both happily live, to the nation's
capital, where we both proudly serve.
Elaine is a living testament to an America that invites the best from all
over the world to serve as its leaders today.
Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the Secretary of Labor, my wife,
Elaine Chao.
