George W. Bush: “I look forward to talking to my friend about that today.”

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.

History will remember him as among the finest public servants of his generation – a patriot who brought integrity, high intelligence, and seriousness of purpose to every position.

This is not mere nostalgia, it is the truest version of ourselves.
