George W. Bush: “I believe we can express our feelings, disagree on certain elements, and still come together on a solution.”

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

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

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.

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