Second, I don't know how many of you followed the Senate's drive-by consideration of the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty. To those who did, let me just say that we will not give up. And there are grounds for encouragement. And if you happened to notice in today's news, scientists have discovered for the first time that adult humans are capable of growing new brain cells.

Tonight is billed as an evening of fun, substance and purpose.
I am in favor of all three. And the Forum should be congratulated for putting all the ingredients together in such a fabulous way. We cannot forget, however, what has brought us together. The International Women's Forum is about opportunity. In recent years, I have had the honor of meeting women from around the world who have come together, as we have tonight, in common cause.
