George W. Bush: “I'm proud to announce that I am nominating Harriet Ellan Miers to serve as Associate Justice of the Supreme Court.”

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.

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.

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.
