RICHARDS PRAISES HER ACHIEVEMENTS IN THE SENATE. 21:06:03 BARBARA MIKULSKI ENTERS STAGE. CU MIKULSKI ON STAGE. (AUDIO) FELLOW DEMOCRATS AND SISTER DEMOCRATS. SHE IS THE FIRST DEMOCRATIC WOMEN SENATOR. THE PEOPLE OF MD SHOWED THE WAY IN 86. THIS IS HE YEAR OF THE WOMAN BECAUSE THIS IS THE YEAR OF CHANGE. THE DEMOCRATIC WOMEN ARE THE CHANGE. THERE WILL BE A NEW SPIRIT, AND A NEW WAY OF DOING BUSINESS. A WOMAN KNOWS HOW TO SPELL POTATO, BECAUSE SHE BUYS THEM BY THE BAG TO STRETCH THE FAMILY BUDGET. PEOPLE WANT LEADERSHIP, EVEN WHEN IT'S RISKY. PEOPLE WANT TO CRACK OPEN THE STATUS QUO. WE WOMEN JUST DON'T TALK ABOUT FAMILY VALUES, WE'LL MAKE SURE MOM AND DAD CAN STAY HOME IF A CHILD GETS SICK. LISTEN TO THIS, ONE MORE THING, NEVER AGIAN, WHEN A WOMAN COMES FOWARD TO TELL HER STORY, WILL SHE EVER BE ASSAULTED FOR TELLING THE TRUTH. 21:12:53 CHEERS FROM AUDIENCE. 21:13:04 CU PODIUM. SHE LOOKS FOWARD TO A NEW PRESIDENTIAL TEAM WHICH IS PRO CHOICE AND PRO CHANGE. WOMEN IN HIGH OFFICE WILL NEVER BE A NOVELTY AGAIN. DOORS WILL BE PUSHED OPEN, RECLAIMING OUR COUNTRY. HER HEART SWELLS WITH PRIDE THAT SHE WON'T BE THE ONLY WOMAN DEMOCRAT IN THE SENATE. BY THE WAY, I THINK THERE'S ALOT MORE ON THE WAY. 21:15:11 MIKULSKI INTRODUCES CAROL BRAUN. 21:16:34 CU MIKULSKI AT PODIUM LISTENING AS BRAUN SPEAKS FROM THE FLOOR. ** THIS CAMERA STAYS ON MIKULSKI NOT ON BRAUN. 21:19:39 MS ON SIGN THAT SAYS BEAT BOB DOLE, WITH AN 800 NUMBER. 21:20:17 CU ON MIKULSKI AT PODIUM STILL LISTENING TO BRAUN. 21:21:05 MIKULSKI CLAPPING AS BRAUN FINISHES.

ENTER CHAIR BROWN. CU CHAIR BROWN. BEGINS SPEECH. (AUDIO) TONIGHT WE CELEBRATE OUR UNITY. NO CHAIRMAN COULD BE MORE GRATEFUL THAN HIMSELF. IN 1989 HE WAS ENTRUSTED WITH REBUILDING THE PARTY, AND HE HOPES HE HAS. IN AMERICA, A KID FROM HARLEM CAN GO ANYWHERE, EVEN TO CHAIRMAN OF THE DNC. THEY WON 6 OF 8 CONGRESSIONAL RACES IN 1989. THERE ARE MANY MORE DEMOCRATS IN HIGHER OFFICES THAN WHEN GEORGE BUSH TOOK OFFICE. WOMEN LIKE ANN RICHARDS WERE SWORN IN AS GOVS OF THEIR STATES. WE CAN, WE MUST, WE WILL ELECT BILL CLINTON AS PRES OF THE USA. NOW THE PRIMARIES ARE OVER, AND THEY COME TO THE CONVENTION UNITED. 21:55:33 (AUDIO) SPEECH CONTINUES. CHAIR BROWN KNEW THAT THE GAP BETWEEN BUSH'S ACTIONS AND HIS POLLS WOULD BEGIN TO CLOSE. NEVER IN A GENERATION, HAVE THE DEMS BEEN SO UNITED. THIS WEEK, MILLIONS OF AMERICANS WILL SE OUR DETERMINATION. WHAT ABOUT THE REPUBLICANS? WITH THE WORST RECORD OF RACIAL DIVISION SINCE ORGANIZED RESISTANCE, WILL WE CRY FOR RON REAGAN? (21:58:32)
