George W. Bush: “We have a responsibility to build a world that is not only safer, but better.”

Is it in our national interests that 25 million people who would have died now live? I think it is, and so do you.

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

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.
