GREETINGS:

On behalf of the citizens of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, I extend warm greetings to all participants of the United Nations' 50th Anniversary "GLOBAL PEACE WALK."

As Governor of a diverse Commonwealth where people of various race, culture and religion strive to cast aside differences and stand together as Pennsylvanians, we join in helping you convey your message of peace, prosperity and human value.

I ask that you carry with you the best wishes of all Pennsylvanians for a safe and productive journey.

Sincerely,

[signed]

TOM RIDGE
Governor
