George W. Bush: “Americans should also remember the important example that our elections set throughout the world.”

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

We are grateful to the first responders and volunteers who are working to find the missing and comfort the grieving at Camp Mystic and along the Guadalupe.

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

We are very pleased that Alan Lowe has been selected by the National Archives and Records Administration as the director of the George W. Bush Presidential Library and Museum.
