George W. Bush: “H.R. 2040 commemorates the 50th anniversary of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.”

History will remember him as among the finest public servants of his generation – a patriot who brought integrity, high intelligence, and seriousness of purpose to every position.

Violence and vitriol must be purged from the public square. Members of other political parties are not our enemies; they are our fellow citizens.

I applaud your Governor's response to that tragedy.

I hereby find that the furnishing of defense articles and defense services to the Southern African Development Community will strengthen the security of the United States and promote world peace.
