George W. Bush

And I want to thank you for letting us begin our very important meetings at this very significant historical site.

Our trade has made a difference in the lives of our citizens, and your leadership has made a difference in the state of your economy.

I appreciate very much your trip to Afghanistan and you and your Government's support of their fledgling democracy.

We have an obligation to secure our borders.

WITHDRAWAL SENT TO THE SENATE: Daniel P. Ryan, of Michigan, to be United States District Judge for the Eastern District of Michigan.

I am committed to having a comprehensive immigration bill on my desk.

NOMINATION SENT TO THE SENATE: Gary D. Orton, of Nevada, to be United States Marshal for the District of Nevada for the term of four years.

I'm optimistic we can get a bill done.

Free societies are peaceful societies.

The enemy tried to stop millions from voting in the January 2005 elections.

I encourage all citizens to protect our children and help build strong communities where individuals, families, and children are valued and supported.

Cancer can be prevented, treated, and defeated, and we will continue to strive to reach the day when the battle to beat cancer has been won.

I urge more Americans to make the decision to donate the gift of life.

America will not retreat from Iraq.

By increasing public awareness and encouraging people to take appropriate steps to protect themselves, we can help prevent certain types of cancer.

The terrorists know that when freedom sets root in Iraq, it will be a mortal blow to their aspirations to dominate the region.

Our society has a responsibility to protect our children and help them thrive.

The only thing the Iraqi insurgents can possibly do is to cause us to lose our nerve and retreat.

The idea is to make sure that tourists and trade moves freely and terrorists don't.

I think, first of all, the fact that they put those ads in the papers talking about joint responsibility makes it easier for those of us who believe in comprehensive migration reform to get something done.

He's a man of candor and humor and directness, who's comfortable with responsibility and knows how to lead.

Trade equals jobs, and jobs means people have a chance to realize hopeful dreams.

It's a relationship that we should never take for granted.

I understand its importance.

We're not going to lose our nerve.
