美国总统克林顿给第三届世界气功大会的贺信
白宫 华盛顿 l999年l1月12日
我谨此向所有到旧金山参加第三届世界气功大会以及“美国气功学会”第二届会议的人士致以亲切祝贸。我很高兴获悉杨梅君大师也将会出席此次大会。
气功，一种古代有关健康及医疗科学的艺术，现时已普遍引起世界上数以百万计人士的关注。正当现今人们对复杂的人体、思想及心灵的互动关系产生兴趣时，这种传统的中国能量运动确能给予人们对寻找较健康的生活方式及掌握自我保健方法一个较理想的选择。
这次大会的全体与会者，不论是钻研以气功治疗运动劳损、创伤及精神紧张方面之效能，或是向社会推广气功之好处，以及专注于提升气功修炼之水平者，我对他们都极表赞扬。对于能参与此次提升人类生活素质活动的人来说，是值得骄傲的。
衷心祝愿大会圆满成功！
比尔·克林顿(签字)
