George W. Bush: “Everyone wants the violence to stop.”

For eight years, it has been my honor to serve as your President. The first decade of this new century has been a period of consequence—a time set apart.

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.

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

You've showed the great strength of America through your work—and that is your good heart.
