George W. Bush: “I have great confidence in Japan's future and in the unlimited potential of its people.”

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.

Congratulations on becoming our President.

This tax relief has been a key factor in promoting the economic growth and job creation of recent years, and it should be made permanent.
