George W. Bush: “Edward R. McPherson, of Texas, to be Under Secretary of Education, vice Eugene Hickok.”

I applaud your Governor's response to that tragedy.

You've showed the great strength of America through your work—and that is your good heart.

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

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