Transcript from appearance at The Kennedy School of Government - Harvard University June 3, 1998	"It is little wonder that the public has lost faith in government. As Joe so often reminds us. And in it's leaders. Elizabeth Hanford Dole has refused to be labeled. She fits no niche and continues to defy convention. At a time when it's become politically correct to poke fun at those who work for government, to demean the work that they do, Mrs. Dole remains unabashed and an eloquent promoter of the concept of government service and of the contributions that public servants can make." Sheila Burke

	Mrs. Dole´s keen insights and personal appeal accompanied by her unique charisma are greatly received by all types of audiences throughout the world.

The Miami Arena. - A great many words have been used to discuss Mrs. Dole's speech at The Republican Convention, in San Diego. Many people were surprised by the fact that she employed a style different from most other speakers at the convention. I had the privilege to see her last May (‘97) at The Miami Arena as the opening speaker for Peter Lowe's Success Seminars. She used the same style, walking all over the stage. Although the occasion was quite different for her, as well as, the audience, Mrs. Dole delivered a much livelier crowd than she received when she arrived 35 minutes earlier. She was amply the best speaker of the day. Had Mrs. Dole not been the opening speaker, one might have felt shortchanged (of part of the $75) that George Bush was detained in traffic and could not make the scheduled appearance.

She woke us up with a riotous summary of her appearance on the Jay Leno Show. Just yesterday I was reading a web page by a person who spent all of the morning after the show, checking with friends to ascertain that he was not having hallucinations the night before, while watching the show. Mrs. Dole said she received many letters regarding her appearance, both negative and positive. One lady said something like " Well lady, I've been a biker for 10 years and I can't even think of doing some of the stunts you did there." Another woman said that she could not vote for Bob after seeing the show, and recommended that she keep a tape of the show handy to watch after he lost the election. I never expected side splitting remarks from Mrs. Dole so early in the morning.

Before these funny anecdotes, she mentioned briefly that she had enjoyed campaigning because she remembered many inspirational moments and many demonstrations of positive public sentiment.

Watching my four videotapes from last year's convention yesterday, while I recorded sound files, I could not help but think that even commentators who bestowed the most lavish praise, fell short of accurately describing Mrs. Dole's performance. Nothing marred Elizabeth's performance; not the malfunctioning mike; not the constraining podium; not inadequate reactions from the human props (no offense intended). Nothing precluded Mrs. Dole from delivering a highly polished speech which nevertheless allowed a very warm and caring personality to shine through. This was probably possible because she is perfectly at ease, being herself, unlike other public speaking personalities we see. I guess "To be is better than to seem."

One of the most satisfactory files I recorded yesterday contains the cheering that ensued after Mrs. Dole concluded "her bid for Bob." Even as well behaved a crowd, as that in attendance there, (22% millionaires according to Democrat sources) was visibly moved.

Her speech last May was very much of a political nature, rather than a business one. Although she touched on various related subjects, like women as workers and business owners, most of her words could be categorized as inspirational or political. She expressed her deeply religious convictions more than once, throughout the speech.

Mrs. Dole spoke of her work as Secretary of Labor, and her efforts to foment a better labor force, which was to receive training that was tailored to the job market and employers' needs. But, mostly she emphasized the need for education that instills better values in our children. Mrs. Dole worried that we will pass an inferior world to the next generation, rather than at least one in the same condition in which we received it.

A desperately needed dose of ?, I don't know what to call it. Well... I'll tell you what she said and you can verbalize it: She named, and spoke in detail of various signers of The Declaration of Independence, who did not gain the great wealth that many people today think they amassed. Signing the Declaration brought hard times upon them, but they believed that they were doing the right thing, so they signed.

Whatever other benefits, Elizabeth Dole's presidency may bring, we know we'll at last listen to a "State of the Union Speech". After all, half the planet has paid gross fees to listen to her for years now.
