**SENATOR DASCHLE ANNOUNCES IN ABERDEEN, SOUTH DAKOTA**
Here's an excerpt of the first part of the Senate Leader's remarks.
HELLO! HELLO! AIN'T IT GREAT TO BE IN GOOD OLE ABERDEEN!

It's because of leaders like Gore that we have a strong nation right now. Democrats cut crime, balanced the budget, and brought about a strong economy, and what did Republicans do? Bring about a failed war on drugs, pushed a budgetary deficit, higher taxes, and a recession. I'm here to lay out the case for American progress in rural America: 1.

I have an 85% rating from the AFL-CIO, I've backed our unions and the American worker from the American small town...
