George W. Bush: “The Federal Government will provide evacuees $2,000 in needed financial assistance.”

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

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

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

On this day of prayer, Laura and I are holding up our fellow Texans who are hurting.
