George W. Bush: “The efforts that we are undertaking are about protecting the American people.”

That is the America I know.

We look forward to working with him and the National Archives to build a world-class Presidential library and museum that will be an important resource for scholars and the general public.

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

Today, we remember your loss, we share your sorrow and we honor the men and women that you have loved so long and so well.
