George W. Bush: “The United States is going to work with the international community to come up with a single plan on how to address this…”

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

We are grateful to the first responders and volunteers who are working to find the missing and comfort the grieving at Camp Mystic and along the Guadalupe.

On behalf of the American people, Laura and I offer our sincere condolences to Betsy and the Wyeth family.

Being your President was a high privilege, and the honor of a lifetime.
