George W. Bush: “This bill is good for Central American countries; it is good for America.”

For eight years, it has been my honor to serve as your President. The first decade of this new century has been a period of consequence—a time set apart.

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 this day of prayer, Laura and I are holding up our fellow Texans who are hurting.

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