George W. Bush: “The United States welcomes this unconditional commitment to carry out these responsibilities.”

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

If any voters came hoping for a kind word and a hug, they’d have to settle for the kind word.

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.
