On Tuesday, February 24, 2004 the New York Republican County Committee held its Annual Lincoln Day Dinner at the New York Sheraton Hotel and Towers.  Governor George E. Pataki and Mayor Michael Bloomberg were on hand to help welcome special guest California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and honorees William D. Harris, CEO of the 2004 Republican National Convention, and New York State's First Lady Libby Pataki.  New York Republican County Committee Chairman James A. Ortenzio presented Schwarzenegger with an authentic 19th century samurai sword (below), which the new California Governor jokingly vowed to use to "help cut the budget" in California.
