Vice President Al Gore, who lost his White House bid to Republican President-elect George W. Bush, administered the oath of office to Mrs. Clinton and other senators elected in November, and wished each one well. Yet shortly before Congress convened Wednesday, Gore delivered a pointed message to the Congressional Black Caucus . "We all must respect and, wherever possible, help President-elect Bush," Gore said. "You ... have to do your best to reach across party lines, but you also have to know when to draw the line."Rep. Dennis Hastert of Illinois, re-elected as House speaker, told colleagues, "It is only in Washington where many still have a lingering animosity for the political parties. My friends, we need to get over it."
