George W. Bush: “As a sailor, teacher, and legislator, he has worked tirelessly to make America stronger.”

To you and the honored dead, our country is forever grateful.

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

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

I hereby find that the furnishing of defense articles and defense services to the Southern African Development Community will strengthen the security of the United States and promote world peace.
