This is a White House email release covering February 1998 to August 2000. It is a set of Exchange mail records with attachments. One item is the President's February 19, 1998 remarks to a DNC dinner in West Orange, New Jersey, which includes a joke that young people think seeing a UFO is more likely than drawing Social Security. Other items are a joke 'Redneck Driver's License Application', an AP story about Chilca, Peru, where locals credit UFOs for the mud's powers, a Blair Witch Project article, and a Baltimore Sun article forwarded by the White House Situation Room about UFO FOIA requests to the NSA.

I've spent the last five years trying to fix things in America so that the
country would basically work again and so that people would have the
confidence
to believe that we really could be the masters of our fate, that if we worl
together and did the right things in the right way, we actually could mox

in these last five years. But I think that the most important thing I could

THE PRESIDENT: Thank you very much. I'd like to begin by thanking
and
Sylvia for welcoming us to their humble little home here. (Laughter.) T1

had three wonderful encounters with people around the country. He thin

no heavy lifting. (Laughter.)
I'd like to thank Senator Lautenberg and Congressman Pascrell for beinj
and
for their support in the Congress for our agenda and our attempts to mox
country forward. Thank you, Tom Giblin, for leading the Democratic Pt
New
Jersey. Thank you, Mayor McGreevey, for a wonderful race. I was hone
be a
small part of it, and there will be another one up the road.
