George W. Bush: “I thank the Senate for its bipartisan vote confirming Judge Michael Mukasey as the Nation's 81st Attorney General.”

Congratulations on becoming our President.

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.

It has been the privilege of a lifetime to serve as your President.
