George W. Bush: “The important thing is that peace is to be valued most.”

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.

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.
