George W. Bush: “I've instructed my Cabinet to provide whatever briefings and information they need to be able to do their jobs.”

That is the America I know.

We are heartbroken by the loss of life and the agony so many are feeling.

We know our words cannot help, but we believe the prayers of so many Americans will.

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.
