George W. Bush

Let’s make sure that every individual citizen who sees something suspicious reports it, to either the Joint Terrorism Task Force or the local law enforcement.

I look forward to his advice.

Today, they're an emergency democracy—an emerging democracy and building a better future.

We are not recommending that events be cancelled, nor do we recommend that individuals change domestic travel plans or that the federal work force not report to duty.

I value his judgment.

When the shipment arrives at the border, it will be processed through a dedicated lane.

The FAST program will feature increased integrity in supply chain management processes.

Our relationship has never been stronger.

Greater speed and certainty in the clearance of transborder shipments are among the key benefits of the FAST program to the trade community.

This joint effort is called the Free and Secure Trade (FAST) program.

Whether low risk goods are moving into the U.S. or Canada, they will be expeditiously cleared through dedicated lanes using compatible technology.

A secure and efficient border is key to our economic security.

The United States and Canada have agreed to align, to the maximum extent possible, our customs commercial programs along their shared border.

For low risk goods being imported from Canada into the United States, the pre-authorized carrier will provide the United States Customs Service, in advance of the arrival of the shipment.

Substantial progress has been made, enhancing both our mutual security and cross-border commerce.

Expedited clearance of low risk transborder shipments will be achieved by reducing the information required to meet customs requirements.

We have responded together with the shared determination that has always characterized the partnership between our two great nations.

The United States and Canada have the largest trading relationship of any two countries in the world.

The benefits of the FAST program will be available to only those drivers, carriers, and importers who have been pre-authorized by the United States and Canada.

I encourage you to draw strength from the many examples of courage, sacrifice, and compassion we have witnessed during the last year.

In seeking forgiveness and renewal, may you again appreciate the love and mercy of the Almighty, and look to the year ahead with hope and faith.

As we face the challenges of a new era, America remains committed to freedom, justice, and opportunity for all people.

As you mark the beginning of the High Holy Days, take time to reflect on the past year.

I send greetings to the Jewish community in the United States and around the world as you observe Rosh Hashanah.

During this time of examination and remembrance, I join you in looking forward to a future of tolerance and peace.
