George W. Bush: “I commend the House of Representatives for acting to permanently eliminate the death tax.”

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

Is it in our national interests that 25 million people who would have died now live? I think it is, and so do you.

what America does for itself has made it strong--but what America does for others has made it great.

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