I recommend that the Senate give early and favorable consideration to this Protocol and that the Senate give its advice and consent to ratification.

The Iraqis want to be free.

The Annual White House Fall Garden Tour will be held on two dates: Saturday, October 22 from 10 a.m. - 4 p.m. and Sunday, October 23 from 12 p.m. - 4 p.m.

We can expect there to be increasing violence from the terrorists.

Visitors are invited to view the Jacqueline Kennedy Garden, Rose Garden, Children's Garden and South Lawn of the White House while military bands perform from a White House balcony.

The National Park Service will distribute free, timed tickets at the Ellipse Visitor Pavilion located at 15th and E Streets on both tour days beginning at 7:30 a.m.

Our strategy is clear in Iraq.

The first is food and water.

I have the top people here with me, the Coast Guard admiral, who is in charge of the Federal response.

I just met with local county judges and mayors, along with the Governor.

We fully understand that it's hard to maintain order if you don't have fuel for your cars and first-responders.

It's been my honor to talk to some of these parish presidents and mayors of the affected area.

We want people to come home as quickly as possible.

The second is electricity and generators moving this way; there's a rational plan to distribute the generators.

We've got some priorities that we're in the process of working together to achieve.

I particularly want to thank these parish presidents and mayors for their strong leadership.

It's very important for them to understand that now is not the time to come back.

You're here with us, and we know we have a good partnership.

Those affected by Rita will be treated the same way as those affected by Katrina.

I think it's very important to listen to the Governors about the conditions at home.

Thirdly, there's fuel.

This area is going to rebuild, and it's going to grow again.

I want to compliment the local folks for the heroic efforts they made to save life.

Our first priority was to help those local folks remove debris.

I think that what a lot of Americans saw was a—some poverty that they had never imagined before.
