George W. Bush: “I view my role as Commander-in-Chief very importantly.”

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

Being your President was a high privilege, and the honor of a lifetime.

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

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.
