George W. Bush: “I appreciate your tireless work to help solve some of the real humanitarian crises that we face.”

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.

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