George W. Bush: “China is a big, powerful nation.”

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.

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.

The actions taken by my Administration in response to the financial crisis have laid the groundwork for a return to economic growth and job creation.

We are heartbroken by the loss of life and the agony so many are feeling.
