George W. Bush: “The people of Northern Ireland are now measurably closer to the lasting peace which they richly deserve.”

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

We are very pleased that Alan Lowe has been selected by the National Archives and Records Administration as the director of the George W. Bush Presidential Library and Museum.

To you and the honored dead, our country is forever grateful.

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.
