George W. Bush: “It's important that these agreements be passed as soon as possible.”

On behalf of the American people, Laura and I offer our sincere condolences to Betsy and the Wyeth family.

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.

Mr. Wyeth captured America in his paintings of his native Pennsylvania and Maine.

Laura and I are fortunate to have known Andrew Wyeth and to have had the pleasure of enjoying his work.
