MICHAEL KAHN:
I wish to thank the Academy members for giving me one of the great, greatest experiences of my life. And what a marvelous opportunity it was to work on the same film together with Steven Spielberg and George Lucas. I'm especially grateful to Steven for making me part of his team and giving me such superb film to work with, and to George Lucas for his very special help and warm friendly support. My thanks to Frank Marshall, our producer, and our executive producer Howard Kazanjian, and to my terrific English and Hollywood assistants, and of course to my patient family. Finally, I'm extremely happy that the editing contribution on "Raiders" has played an important part in your enjoyment of the movie. Thank you for this wonderful honor.
