George W. Bush: “You are also authorized and directed to notify the Congress, pursuant to section 2106(b)(2) of the Trade Act of 2002.”

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.

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

Congratulations on becoming our President.

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