Mr. Speaker, Vice President Cheney, members of +Congress, distinguished guests, fellow citizens: As we gather tonight, our +nation is at war, our economy is in recession, and the civilized world +faces unprecedented dangers. Yet the state of our Union has never been +stronger. (Applause.) + +We last met in an hour of shock and suffering. In four short months, our +nation has comforted the victims, begun to rebuild New York and the +Pentagon, rallied a great coalition, captured, arrested, and rid the world +of thousands of terrorists, destroyed Afghanistan's terrorist training +camps, saved a people from starvation, and freed a country from brutal +oppression. (Applause.) + +The American flag flies again over our embassy in Kabul. Terrorists who +once occupied Afghanistan now occupy cells at Guantanamo Bay. (Applause.) +And terrorist leaders who urged followers to sacrifice their lives are +running for their own. (Applause.) + +America and Afghanistan are now allies against terror. We'll be partners in +rebuilding that country. And this evening we welcome the distinguished +interim leader of a liberated Afghanistan: Chairman Hamid Karzai. +(Applause.) + +The last time we met in this chamber, the mothers and daughters of +Afghanistan were captives in their own homes, forbidden from working or +going to school. Today women are free, and are part of Afghanistan's new +government. And we welcome the new Minister of Women's Affairs, Doctor Sima +Samar. (Applause.) + +Our progress is a tribute to the spirit of the Afghan people, to the +resolve of our coalition, and to the might of the United States military. +(Applause.) When I called our troops into action, I did so with complete +confidence in their courage and skill. And tonight, thanks to them, we are +winning the war on terror. (Applause.) The men and women of our Armed +Forces have delivered a message now clear to every enemy of the United +States: Even 7,000 miles away, across oceans and continents, on +mountaintops and in caves -- you will not escape the justice of this +nation. (Applause.) + +For many Americans, these four months have brought sorrow, and pain that +will never completely go away. Every day a retired firefighter returns to +Ground Zero, to feel closer to his two sons who died there. At a memorial +in New York, a little boy left his football with a note for his lost +father: Dear Daddy, please take this to heaven. I don't want to play +football until I can play with you again some day. + +Last month, at the grave of her husband, Michael, a CIA officer and Marine +who died in Mazur-e-Sharif, Shannon Spann said these words of farewell: +"Semper Fi, my love." Shannon is with us tonight. (Applause.) + +Shannon, I assure you and all who have lost a loved one that our cause is +just, and our country will never forget the debt we owe Michael and all who +gave their lives for freedom. + +Our cause is just, and it continues. Our discoveries in Afghanistan +confirmed our worst fears, and showed us the true scope of the task ahead. +We have seen the depth of our enemies' hatred in videos, where they laugh +about the loss of innocent life. And the depth of their hatred is equaled +by the madness of the destruction they design. We have found diagrams of +American nuclear power plants and public water facilities, detailed +instructions for making chemical weapons, surveillance maps of American +cities, and thorough descriptions of landmarks in America and throughout +the world. + +What we have found in Afghanistan confirms that, far from ending there, our +war against terror is only beginning. Most of the 19 men who hijacked +planes on September the 11th were trained in Afghanistan's camps, and so +were tens of thousands of others. Thousands of dangerous killers, schooled +in the methods of murder, often supported by outlaw regimes, are now spread +throughout the world like ticking time bombs, set to go off without +warning. + +Thanks to the work of our law enforcement officials and coalition partners, +hundreds of terrorists have been arrested. Yet, tens of thousands of +trained terrorists are still at large. These enemies view the entire world +as a battlefield, and we must pursue them wherever they are. (Applause.) So +long as training camps operate, so long as nations harbor terrorists, +freedom is at risk. And America and our allies must not, and will not, +allow it. (Applause.) + +Our nation will continue to be steadfast and patient and persistent in the +pursuit of two great objectives. First, we will shut down terrorist camps, +disrupt terrorist plans, and bring terrorists to justice. And, second, we +must prevent the terrorists and regimes who seek chemical, biological or +nuclear weapons from threatening the United States and the world. +(Applause.) + +Our military has put the terror training camps of Afghanistan out of +business, yet camps still exist in at least a dozen countries. A terrorist +underworld -- including groups like Hamas, Hezbollah, Islamic Jihad, +Jaish-i-Mohammed -- operates in remote jungles and deserts, and hides in +the centers of large cities. + +While the most visible military action is in Afghanistan, America is acting +elsewhere. We now have troops in the Philippines, helping to train that +country's armed forces to go after terrorist cells that have executed an +American, and still hold hostages. Our soldiers, working with the Bosnian +government, seized terrorists who were plotting to bomb our embassy. Our +Navy is patrolling the coast of Africa to block the shipment of weapons and +the establishment of terrorist camps in Somalia. + +My hope is that all nations will heed our call, and eliminate the terrorist +parasites who threaten their countries and our own. Many nations are acting +forcefully. Pakistan is now cracking down on terror, and I admire the +strong leadership of President Musharraf. (Applause.) + +But some governments will be timid in the face of terror. And make no +mistake about it: If they do not act, America will. (Applause.) + +Our second goal is to prevent regimes that sponsor terror from threatening +America or our friends and allies with weapons of mass destruction. Some of +these regimes have been pretty quiet since September the 11th. But we know +their true nature. North Korea is a regime arming with missiles and weapons +of mass destruction, while starving its citizens. + +Iran aggressively pursues these weapons and exports terror, while an +unelected few repress the Iranian people's hope for freedom. + +Iraq continues to flaunt its hostility toward America and to support +terror. The Iraqi regime has plotted to develop anthrax, and nerve gas, and +nuclear weapons for over a decade. This is a regime that has already used +poison gas to murder thousands of its own citizens -- leaving the bodies of +mothers huddled over their dead children. This is a regime that agreed to +international inspections -- then kicked out the inspectors. This is a +regime that has something to hide from the civilized world. + +States like these, and their terrorist allies, constitute an axis of evil, +arming to threaten the peace of the world. By seeking weapons of mass +destruction, these regimes pose a grave and growing danger. They could +provide these arms to terrorists, giving them the means to match their +hatred. They could attack our allies or attempt to blackmail the United +States. In any of these cases, the price of indifference would be +catastrophic. + +We will work closely with our coalition to deny terrorists and their state +sponsors the materials, technology, and expertise to make and deliver +weapons of mass destruction. We will develop and deploy effective missile +defenses to protect America and our allies from sudden attack. (Applause.) +And all nations should know: America will do what is necessary to ensure +our nation's security. + +We'll be deliberate, yet time is not on our side. I will not wait on +events, while dangers gather. I will not stand by, as peril draws closer +and closer. The United States of America will not permit the world's most +dangerous regimes to threaten us with the world's most destructive weapons. +(Applause.) + +Our war on terror is well begun, but it is only begun. This campaign may +not be finished on our watch -- yet it must be and it will be waged on our +watch. + +We can't stop short. If we stop now -- leaving terror camps intact and +terror states unchecked -- our sense of security would be false and +temporary. History has called America and our allies to action, and it is +both our responsibility and our privilege to fight freedom's fight. +(Applause.) + +Our first priority must always be the security of our nation, and that will +be reflected in the budget I send to Congress. My budget supports three +great goals for America: We will win this war; we'll protect our homeland; +and we will revive our economy. + +September the 11th brought out the best in America, and the best in this +Congress. And I join the American people in applauding your unity and +resolve. (Applause.) Now Americans deserve to have this same spirit +directed toward addressing problems here at home. I'm a proud member of my +party -- yet as we act to win the war, protect our people, and create jobs +in America, we must act, first and foremost, not as Republicans, not as +Democrats, but as Americans. (Applause.) + +It costs a lot to fight this war. We have spent more than a billion dollars +a month -- over $30 million a day -- and we must be prepared for future +operations. Afghanistan proved that expensive precision weapons defeat the +enemy and spare innocent lives, and we need more of them. We need to +replace aging aircraft and make our military more agile, to put our troops +anywhere in the world quickly and safely. Our men and women in uniform +deserve the best weapons, the best equipment, the best training -- and they +also deserve another pay raise. (Applause.) + +My budget includes the largest increase in defense spending in two decades +-- because while the price of freedom and security is high, it is never too +high. Whatever it costs to defend our country, we will pay. (Applause.) + +The next priority of my budget is to do everything possible to protect our +citizens and strengthen our nation against the ongoing threat of another +attack. Time and distance from the events of September the 11th will not +make us safer unless we act on its lessons. America is no longer protected +by vast oceans. We are protected from attack only by vigorous action +abroad, and increased vigilance at home. + +My budget nearly doubles funding for a sustained strategy of homeland +security, focused on four key areas: bioterrorism, emergency response, +airport and border security, and improved intelligence. We will develop +vaccines to fight anthrax and other deadly diseases. We'll increase funding +to help states and communities train and equip our heroic police and +firefighters. (Applause.) We will improve intelligence collection and +sharing, expand patrols at our borders, strengthen the security of air +travel, and use technology to track the arrivals and departures of visitors +to the United States. (Applause.) + +Homeland security will make America not only stronger, but, in many ways, +better. Knowledge gained from bioterrorism research will improve public +health. Stronger police and fire departments will mean safer neighborhoods. +Stricter border enforcement will help combat illegal drugs. (Applause.) And +as government works to better secure our homeland, America will continue to +depend on the eyes and ears of alert citizens. + +A few days before Christmas, an airline flight attendant spotted a +passenger lighting a match. The crew and passengers quickly subdued the +man, who had been trained by al Qaeda and was armed with explosives. The +people on that plane were alert and, as a result, likely saved nearly 200 +lives. And tonight we welcome and thank flight attendants Hermis Moutardier +and Christina Jones. (Applause.) + +Once we have funded our national security and our homeland security, the +final great priority of my budget is economic security for the American +people. (Applause.) To achieve these great national objectives -- to win +the war, protect the homeland, and revitalize our economy -- our budget +will run a deficit that will be small and short-term, so long as Congress +restrains spending and acts in a fiscally responsible manner. (Applause.) +We have clear priorities and we must act at home with the same purpose and +resolve we have shown overseas: We'll prevail in the war, and we will +defeat this recession. (Applause.) + +Americans who have lost their jobs need our help and I support extending +unemployment benefits and direct assistance for health care coverage. +(Applause.) Yet, American workers want more than unemployment checks -- +they want a steady paycheck. (Applause.) When America works, America +prospers, so my economic security plan can be summed up in one word: jobs. +(Applause.) + +Good jobs begin with good schools, and here we've made a fine start. +(Applause.) Republicans and Democrats worked together to achieve historic +education reform so that no child is left behind. I was proud to work with +members of both parties: Chairman John Boehner and Congressman George +Miller. (Applause.) Senator Judd Gregg. (Applause.) And I was so proud of +our work, I even had nice things to say about my friend, Ted Kennedy. +(Laughter and applause.) I know the folks at the Crawford coffee shop +couldn't believe I'd say such a thing -- (laughter) -- but our work on this +bill shows what is possible if we set aside posturing and focus on results. +(Applause.) + +There is more to do. We need to prepare our children to read and succeed in +school with improved Head Start and early childhood development programs. +(Applause.) We must upgrade our teacher colleges and teacher training and +launch a major recruiting drive with a great goal for America: a quality +teacher in every classroom. (Applause.) + +Good jobs also depend on reliable and affordable energy. This Congress must +act to encourage conservation, promote technology, build infrastructure, +and it must act to increase energy production at home so America is less +dependent on foreign oil. (Applause.) + +Good jobs depend on expanded trade. Selling into new markets creates new +jobs, so I ask Congress to finally approve trade promotion authority. +(Applause.) On these two key issues, trade and energy, the House of +Representatives has acted to create jobs, and I urge the Senate to pass +this legislation. (Applause.) + +Good jobs depend on sound tax policy. (Applause.) Last year, some in this +hall thought my tax relief plan was too small; some thought it was too big. +(Applause.) But when the checks arrived in the mail, most Americans thought +tax relief was just about right. (Applause.) Congress listened to the +people and responded by reducing tax rates, doubling the child credit, and +ending the death tax. For the sake of long-term growth and to help +Americans plan for the future, let's make these tax cuts permanent. +(Applause.) + +The way out of this recession, the way to create jobs, is to grow the +economy by encouraging investment in factories and equipment, and by +speeding up tax relief so people have more money to spend. For the sake of +American workers, let's pass a stimulus package. (Applause.) + +Good jobs must be the aim of welfare reform. As we reauthorize these +important reforms, we must always remember the goal is to reduce dependency +on government and offer every American the dignity of a job. (Applause.) + +Americans know economic security can vanish in an instant without health +security. I ask Congress to join me this year to enact a patients' bill of +rights -- (applause) -- to give uninsured workers credits to help buy +health coverage -- (applause) -- to approve an historic increase in the +spending for veterans' health -- (applause) -- and to give seniors a sound +and modern Medicare system that includes coverage for prescription drugs. +(Applause.) + +A good job should lead to security in retirement. I ask Congress to enact +new safeguards for 401K and pension plans. (Applause.) Employees who have +worked hard and saved all their lives should not have to risk losing +everything if their company fails. (Applause.) Through stricter accounting +standards and tougher disclosure requirements, corporate America must be +made more accountable to employees and shareholders and held to the highest +standards of conduct. (Applause.) + +Retirement security also depends upon keeping the commitments of Social +Security, and we will. We must make Social Security financially stable and +allow personal retirement accounts for younger workers who choose them. +(Applause.) + +Members, you and I will work together in the months ahead on other issues: +productive farm policy -- (applause) -- a cleaner environment -- (applause) +-- broader home ownership, especially among minorities -- (applause) -- and +ways to encourage the good work of charities and faith-based groups. +(Applause.) I ask you to join me on these important domestic issues in the +same spirit of cooperation we've applied to our war against terrorism. +(Applause.) + +During these last few months, I've been humbled and privileged to see the +true character of this country in a time of testing. Our enemies believed +America was weak and materialistic, that we would splinter in fear and +selfishness. They were as wrong as they are evil. (Applause.) + +The American people have responded magnificently, with courage and +compassion, strength and resolve. As I have met the heroes, hugged the +families, and looked into the tired faces of rescuers, I have stood in awe +of the American people. + +And I hope you will join me -- I hope you will join me in expressing thanks +to one American for the strength and calm and comfort she brings to our +nation in crisis, our First Lady, Laura Bush. (Applause.) + +None of us would ever wish the evil that was done on September the 11th. +Yet after America was attacked, it was as if our entire country looked into +a mirror and saw our better selves. We were reminded that we are citizens, +with obligations to each other, to our country, and to history. We began to +think less of the goods we can accumulate, and more about the good we can +do. + +For too long our culture has said, "If it feels good, do it." Now America +is embracing a new ethic and a new creed: "Let's roll." (Applause.) In the +sacrifice of soldiers, the fierce brotherhood of firefighters, and the +bravery and generosity of ordinary citizens, we have glimpsed what a new +culture of responsibility could look like. We want to be a nation that +serves goals larger than self. We've been offered a unique opportunity, and +we must not let this moment pass. (Applause.) + +My call tonight is for every American to commit at least two years -- 4,000 +hours over the rest of your lifetime -- to the service of your neighbors +and your nation. (Applause.) Many are already serving, and I thank you. If +you aren't sure how to help, I've got a good place to start. To sustain and +extend the best that has emerged in America, I invite you to join the new +USA Freedom Corps. The Freedom Corps will focus on three areas of need: +responding in case of crisis at home; rebuilding our communities; and +extending American compassion throughout the world. + +One purpose of the USA Freedom Corps will be homeland security. America +needs retired doctors and nurses who can be mobilized in major emergencies; +volunteers to help police and fire departments; transportation and utility +workers well-trained in spotting danger. + +Our country also needs citizens working to rebuild our communities. We need +mentors to love children, especially children whose parents are in prison. +And we need more talented teachers in troubled schools. USA Freedom Corps +will expand and improve the good efforts of AmeriCorps and Senior Corps to +recruit more than 200,000 new volunteers. + +And America needs citizens to extend the compassion of our country to every +part of the world. So we will renew the promise of the Peace Corps, double +its volunteers over the next five years -- (applause) -- and ask it to join +a new effort to encourage development and education and opportunity in the +Islamic world. (Applause.) + +This time of adversity offers a unique moment of opportunity -- a moment we +must seize to change our culture. Through the gathering momentum of +millions of acts of service and decency and kindness, I know we can +overcome evil with greater good. (Applause.) And we have a great +opportunity during this time of war to lead the world toward the values +that will bring lasting peace. + +All fathers and mothers, in all societies, want their children to be +educated, and live free from poverty and violence. No people on Earth yearn +to be oppressed, or aspire to servitude, or eagerly await the midnight +knock of the secret police. + +If anyone doubts this, let them look to Afghanistan, where the Islamic +"street" greeted the fall of tyranny with song and celebration. Let the +skeptics look to Islam's own rich history, with its centuries of learning, +and tolerance and progress. America will lead by defending liberty and +justice because they are right and true and unchanging for all people +everywhere. (Applause.) + +No nation owns these aspirations, and no nation is exempt from them. We +have no intention of imposing our culture. But America will always stand +firm for the non-negotiable demands of human dignity: the rule of law; +limits on the power of the state; respect for women; private property; free +speech; equal justice; and religious tolerance. (Applause.) + +America will take the side of brave men and women who advocate these values +around the world, including the Islamic world, because we have a greater +objective than eliminating threats and containing resentment. We seek a +just and peaceful world beyond the war on terror. + +In this moment of opportunity, a common danger is erasing old rivalries. +America is working with Russia and China and India, in ways we have never +before, to achieve peace and prosperity. In every region, free markets and +free trade and free societies are proving their power to lift lives. +Together with friends and allies from Europe to Asia, and Africa to Latin +America, we will demonstrate that the forces of terror cannot stop the +momentum of freedom. (Applause.) + +The last time I spoke here, I expressed the hope that life would return to +normal. In some ways, it has. In others, it never will. Those of us who +have lived through these challenging times have been changed by them. We've +come to know truths that we will never question: evil is real, and it must +be opposed. (Applause.) Beyond all differences of race or creed, we are one +country, mourning together and facing danger together. Deep in the American +character, there is honor, and it is stronger than cynicism. And many have +discovered again that even in tragedy -- especially in tragedy -- God is +near. (Applause.) + +In a single instant, we realized that this will be a decisive decade in the +history of liberty, that we've been called to a unique role in human +events. Rarely has the world faced a choice more clear or consequential. + +Our enemies send other people's children on missions of suicide and murder. +They embrace tyranny and death as a cause and a creed. We stand for a +different choice, made long ago, on the day of our founding. We affirm it +again today. We choose freedom and the dignity of every life. (Applause.) + +Steadfast in our purpose, we now press on. We have known freedom's price. +We have shown freedom's power. And in this great conflict, my fellow +Americans, we will see freedom's victory. + +Thank you all. May God bless. (Applause.) + + + +*** END OF THE PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK OF ADDRESSES BY GEORGE W.

Bush in this eBook: + January 29, 2002 + + + +*** + +State of the Union Address +George W. Bush +January 29, 2002 + +Thank you very much. Mr. Speaker, Vice President Cheney, members of +Congress, distinguished guests, fellow citizens: As we gather tonight, our +nation is at war, our economy is in recession, and the civilized world +faces unprecedented dangers. Yet the state of our Union has never been +stronger. (Applause.) + +We last met in an hour of shock and suffering. In four short months, our +nation has comforted the victims, begun to rebuild New York and the +Pentagon, rallied a great coalition, captured, arrested, and rid the world +of thousands of terrorists, destroyed Afghanistan's terrorist training +camps, saved a people from starvation, and freed a country from brutal +oppression. (Applause.) + +The American flag flies again over our embassy in Kabul. Terrorists who +once occupied Afghanistan now occupy cells at Guantanamo Bay. (Applause.) +And terrorist leaders who urged followers to sacrifice their lives are +running for their own. (Applause.) + +America and Afghanistan are now allies against terror. We'll be partners in +rebuilding that country. And this evening we welcome the distinguished +interim leader of a liberated Afghanistan: Chairman Hamid Karzai. +(Applause.) + +The last time we met in this chamber, the mothers and daughters of +Afghanistan were captives in their own homes, forbidden from working or +going to school. Today women are free, and are part of Afghanistan's new +government. And we welcome the new Minister of Women's Affairs, Doctor Sima +Samar. (Applause.) + +Our progress is a tribute to the spirit of the Afghan people, to the +resolve of our coalition, and to the might of the United States military. +(Applause.) When I called our troops into action, I did so with complete +confidence in their courage and skill. And tonight, thanks to them, we are +winning the war on terror. (Applause.) The men and women of our Armed +Forces have delivered a message now clear to every enemy of the United +States: Even 7,000 miles away, across oceans and continents, on +mountaintops and in caves--you will not escape the justice of this +nation. (Applause.) + +For many Americans, these four months have brought sorrow, and pain that +will never completely go away. Every day a retired firefighter returns to +Ground Zero, to feel closer to his two sons who died there. At a memorial +in New York, a little boy left his football with a note for his lost +father: Dear Daddy, please take this to heaven. I don't want to play +football until I can play with you again some day. + +Last month, at the grave of her husband, Michael, a CIA officer and Marine +who died in Mazur-e-Sharif, Shannon Spann said these words of farewell: +"Semper Fi, my love." Shannon is with us tonight. (Applause.) + +Shannon, I assure you and all who have lost a loved one that our cause is +just, and our country will never forget the debt we owe Michael and all who +gave their lives for freedom. + +Our cause is just, and it continues. Our discoveries in Afghanistan +confirmed our worst fears, and showed us the true scope of the task ahead. +We have seen the depth of our enemies' hatred in videos, where they laugh +about the loss of innocent life. And the depth of their hatred is equaled +by the madness of the destruction they design. We have found diagrams of +American nuclear power plants and public water facilities, detailed +instructions for making chemical weapons, surveillance maps of American +cities, and thorough descriptions of landmarks in America and throughout +the world. + +What we have found in Afghanistan confirms that, far from ending there, our +war against terror is only beginning. Most of the 19 men who hijacked +planes on September the 11th were trained in Afghanistan's camps, and so +were tens of thousands of others. Thousands of dangerous killers, schooled +in the methods of murder, often supported by outlaw regimes, are now spread +throughout the world like ticking time bombs, set to go off without +warning. + +Thanks to the work of our law enforcement officials and coalition partners, +hundreds of terrorists have been arrested. Yet, tens of thousands of +trained terrorists are still at large. These enemies view the entire world +as a battlefield, and we must pursue them wherever they are. (Applause.) So +long as training camps operate, so long as nations harbor terrorists, +freedom is at risk. And America and our allies must not, and will not, +allow it. (Applause.) + +Our nation will continue to be steadfast and patient and persistent in the +pursuit of two great objectives. First, we will shut down terrorist camps, +disrupt terrorist plans, and bring terrorists to justice. And, second, we +must prevent the terrorists and regimes who seek chemical, biological or +nuclear weapons from threatening the United States and the world. +(Applause.) + +Our military has put the terror training camps of Afghanistan out of +business, yet camps still exist in at least a dozen countries. A terrorist +underworld--including groups like Hamas, Hezbollah, Islamic Jihad, +Jaish-i-Mohammed--operates in remote jungles and deserts, and hides in +the centers of large cities. + +While the most visible military action is in Afghanistan, America is acting +elsewhere. We now have troops in the Philippines, helping to train that +country's armed forces to go after terrorist cells that have executed an +American, and still hold hostages. Our soldiers, working with the Bosnian +government, seized terrorists who were plotting to bomb our embassy. Our +Navy is patrolling the coast of Africa to block the shipment of weapons and +the establishment of terrorist camps in Somalia. + +My hope is that all nations will heed our call, and eliminate the terrorist +parasites who threaten their countries and our own. Many nations are acting +forcefully. Pakistan is now cracking down on terror, and I admire the +strong leadership of President Musharraf. (Applause.) + +But some governments will be timid in the face of terror. And make no +mistake about it: If they do not act, America will. (Applause.) + +Our second goal is to prevent regimes that sponsor terror from threatening +America or our friends and allies with weapons of mass destruction. Some of +these regimes have been pretty quiet since September the 11th. But we know +their true nature. North Korea is a regime arming with missiles and weapons +of mass destruction, while starving its citizens. + +Iran aggressively pursues these weapons and exports terror, while an +unelected few repress the Iranian people's hope for freedom. + +Iraq continues to flaunt its hostility toward America and to support +terror. The Iraqi regime has plotted to develop anthrax, and nerve gas, and +nuclear weapons for over a decade. This is a regime that has already used +poison gas to murder thousands of its own citizens--leaving the bodies of +mothers huddled over their dead children. This is a regime that agreed to +international inspections--then kicked out the inspectors. This is a +regime that has something to hide from the civilized world. + +States like these, and their terrorist allies, constitute an axis of evil, +arming to threaten the peace of the world. By seeking weapons of mass +destruction, these regimes pose a grave and growing danger. They could +provide these arms to terrorists, giving them the means to match their +hatred. They could attack our allies or attempt to blackmail the United +States. In any of these cases, the price of indifference would be +catastrophic. + +We will work closely with our coalition to deny terrorists and their state +sponsors the materials, technology, and expertise to make and deliver +weapons of mass destruction. We will develop and deploy effective missile +defenses to protect America and our allies from sudden attack. (Applause.) +And all nations should know: America will do what is necessary to ensure +our nation's security. + +We'll be deliberate, yet time is not on our side. I will not wait on +events, while dangers gather. I will not stand by, as peril draws closer +and closer. The United States of America will not permit the world's most +dangerous regimes to threaten us with the world's most destructive weapons. +(Applause.) + +Our war on terror is well begun, but it is only begun. This campaign may +not be finished on our watch--yet it must be and it will be waged on our +watch. + +We can't stop short. If we stop now--leaving terror camps intact and +terror states unchecked--our sense of security would be false and +temporary. History has called America and our allies to action, and it is +both our responsibility and our privilege to fight freedom's fight. +(Applause.) + +Our first priority must always be the security of our nation, and that will +be reflected in the budget I send to Congress. My budget supports three +great goals for America: We will win this war; we'll protect our homeland; +and we will revive our economy. + +September the 11th brought out the best in America, and the best in this +Congress. And I join the American people in applauding your unity and +resolve. (Applause.) Now Americans deserve to have this same spirit +directed toward addressing problems here at home. I'm a proud member of my +party--yet as we act to win the war, protect our people, and create jobs +in America, we must act, first and foremost, not as Republicans, not as +Democrats, but as Americans. (Applause.) + +It costs a lot to fight this war. We have spent more than a billion dollars +a month--over $30 million a day--and we must be prepared for future +operations. Afghanistan proved that expensive precision weapons defeat the +enemy and spare innocent lives, and we need more of them. We need to +replace aging aircraft and make our military more agile, to put our troops +anywhere in the world quickly and safely. Our men and women in uniform +deserve the best weapons, the best equipment, the best training--and they +also deserve another pay raise. (Applause.) + +My budget includes the largest increase in defense spending in two decades +--because while the price of freedom and security is high, it is never too +high. Whatever it costs to defend our country, we will pay. (Applause.) + +The next priority of my budget is to do everything possible to protect our +citizens and strengthen our nation against the ongoing threat of another +attack. Time and distance from the events of September the 11th will not +make us safer unless we act on its lessons. America is no longer protected +by vast oceans. We are protected from attack only by vigorous action +abroad, and increased vigilance at home. + +My budget nearly doubles funding for a sustained strategy of homeland +security, focused on four key areas: bioterrorism, emergency response, +airport and border security, and improved intelligence. We will develop +vaccines to fight anthrax and other deadly diseases. We'll increase funding +to help states and communities train and equip our heroic police and +firefighters. (Applause.) We will improve intelligence collection and +sharing, expand patrols at our borders, strengthen the security of air +travel, and use technology to track the arrivals and departures of visitors +to the United States. (Applause.) + +Homeland security will make America not only stronger, but, in many ways, +better. Knowledge gained from bioterrorism research will improve public +health. Stronger police and fire departments will mean safer neighborhoods. +Stricter border enforcement will help combat illegal drugs. (Applause.) And +as government works to better secure our homeland, America will continue to +depend on the eyes and ears of alert citizens. + +A few days before Christmas, an airline flight attendant spotted a +passenger lighting a match. The crew and passengers quickly subdued the +man, who had been trained by al Qaeda and was armed with explosives. The +people on that plane were alert and, as a result, likely saved nearly 200 +lives. And tonight we welcome and thank flight attendants Hermis Moutardier +and Christina Jones. (Applause.) + +Once we have funded our national security and our homeland security, the +final great priority of my budget is economic security for the American +people. (Applause.) To achieve these great national objectives--to win +the war, protect the homeland, and revitalize our economy--our budget +will run a deficit that will be small and short-term, so long as Congress +restrains spending and acts in a fiscally responsible manner. (Applause.) +We have clear priorities and we must act at home with the same purpose and +resolve we have shown overseas: We'll prevail in the war, and we will +defeat this recession. (Applause.) + +Americans who have lost their jobs need our help and I support extending +unemployment benefits and direct assistance for health care coverage. +(Applause.) Yet, American workers want more than unemployment checks-- +they want a steady paycheck. (Applause.) When America works, America +prospers, so my economic security plan can be summed up in one word: jobs. +(Applause.) + +Good jobs begin with good schools, and here we've made a fine start. +(Applause.) Republicans and Democrats worked together to achieve historic +education reform so that no child is left behind. I was proud to work with +members of both parties: Chairman John Boehner and Congressman George +Miller. (Applause.) Senator Judd Gregg. (Applause.) And I was so proud of +our work, I even had nice things to say about my friend, Ted Kennedy. +(Laughter and applause.) I know the folks at the Crawford coffee shop +couldn't believe I'd say such a thing--(laughter)--but our work on this +bill shows what is possible if we set aside posturing and focus on results. +(Applause.) + +There is more to do. We need to prepare our children to read and succeed in +school with improved Head Start and early childhood development programs. +(Applause.) We must upgrade our teacher colleges and teacher training and +launch a major recruiting drive with a great goal for America: a quality +teacher in every classroom. (Applause.) + +Good jobs also depend on reliable and affordable energy. This Congress must +act to encourage conservation, promote technology, build infrastructure, +and it must act to increase energy production at home so America is less +dependent on foreign oil. (Applause.) + +Good jobs depend on expanded trade. Selling into new markets creates new +jobs, so I ask Congress to finally approve trade promotion authority. +(Applause.) On these two key issues, trade and energy, the House of +Representatives has acted to create jobs, and I urge the Senate to pass +this legislation. (Applause.) + +Good jobs depend on sound tax policy. (Applause.) Last year, some in this +hall thought my tax relief plan was too small; some thought it was too big. +(Applause.) But when the checks arrived in the mail, most Americans thought +tax relief was just about right. (Applause.) Congress listened to the +people and responded by reducing tax rates, doubling the child credit, and +ending the death tax. For the sake of long-term growth and to help +Americans plan for the future, let's make these tax cuts permanent. +(Applause.) + +The way out of this recession, the way to create jobs, is to grow the +economy by encouraging investment in factories and equipment, and by +speeding up tax relief so people have more money to spend. For the sake of +American workers, let's pass a stimulus package. (Applause.) + +Good jobs must be the aim of welfare reform. As we reauthorize these +important reforms, we must always remember the goal is to reduce dependency +on government and offer every American the dignity of a job. (Applause.) + +Americans know economic security can vanish in an instant without health +security. I ask Congress to join me this year to enact a patients' bill of +rights--(applause)--to give uninsured workers credits to help buy +health coverage--(applause)--to approve an historic increase in the +spending for veterans' health--(applause)--and to give seniors a sound +and modern Medicare system that includes coverage for prescription drugs. +(Applause.) + +A good job should lead to security in retirement. I ask Congress to enact +new safeguards for 401K and pension plans. (Applause.) Employees who have +worked hard and saved all their lives should not have to risk losing +everything if their company fails. (Applause.) Through stricter accounting +standards and tougher disclosure requirements, corporate America must be +made more accountable to employees and shareholders and held to the highest +standards of conduct. (Applause.) + +Retirement security also depends upon keeping the commitments of Social +Security, and we will. We must make Social Security financially stable and +allow personal retirement accounts for younger workers who choose them. +(Applause.) + +Members, you and I will work together in the months ahead on other issues: +productive farm policy--(applause)--a cleaner environment--(applause) +--broader home ownership, especially among minorities--(applause)--and +ways to encourage the good work of charities and faith-based groups. +(Applause.) I ask you to join me on these important domestic issues in the +same spirit of cooperation we've applied to our war against terrorism. +(Applause.) + +During these last few months, I've been humbled and privileged to see the +true character of this country in a time of testing. Our enemies believed +America was weak and materialistic, that we would splinter in fear and +selfishness. They were as wrong as they are evil. (Applause.) + +The American people have responded magnificently, with courage and +compassion, strength and resolve. As I have met the heroes, hugged the +families, and looked into the tired faces of rescuers, I have stood in awe +of the American people. + +And I hope you will join me--I hope you will join me in expressing thanks +to one American for the strength and calm and comfort she brings to our +nation in crisis, our First Lady, Laura Bush. (Applause.) + +None of us would ever wish the evil that was done on September the 11th. +Yet after America was attacked, it was as if our entire country looked into +a mirror and saw our better selves. We were reminded that we are citizens, +with obligations to each other, to our country, and to history. We began to +think less of the goods we can accumulate, and more about the good we can +do. + +For too long our culture has said, "If it feels good, do it." Now America +is embracing a new ethic and a new creed: "Let's roll." (Applause.) In the +sacrifice of soldiers, the fierce brotherhood of firefighters, and the +bravery and generosity of ordinary citizens, we have glimpsed what a new +culture of responsibility could look like. We want to be a nation that +serves goals larger than self. We've been offered a unique opportunity, and +we must not let this moment pass. (Applause.) + +My call tonight is for every American to commit at least two years--4,000 +hours over the rest of your lifetime--to the service of your neighbors +and your nation. (Applause.) Many are already serving, and I thank you. If +you aren't sure how to help, I've got a good place to start. To sustain and +extend the best that has emerged in America, I invite you to join the new +USA Freedom Corps. The Freedom Corps will focus on three areas of need: +responding in case of crisis at home; rebuilding our communities; and +extending American compassion throughout the world. + +One purpose of the USA Freedom Corps will be homeland security. America +needs retired doctors and nurses who can be mobilized in major emergencies; +volunteers to help police and fire departments; transportation and utility +workers well-trained in spotting danger. + +Our country also needs citizens working to rebuild our communities. We need +mentors to love children, especially children whose parents are in prison. +And we need more talented teachers in troubled schools. USA Freedom Corps +will expand and improve the good efforts of AmeriCorps and Senior Corps to +recruit more than 200,000 new volunteers. + +And America needs citizens to extend the compassion of our country to every +part of the world. So we will renew the promise of the Peace Corps, double +its volunteers over the next five years--(applause)--and ask it to join +a new effort to encourage development and education and opportunity in the +Islamic world. (Applause.) + +This time of adversity offers a unique moment of opportunity--a moment we +must seize to change our culture. Through the gathering momentum of +millions of acts of service and decency and kindness, I know we can +overcome evil with greater good. (Applause.) And we have a great +opportunity during this time of war to lead the world toward the values +that will bring lasting peace. + +All fathers and mothers, in all societies, want their children to be +educated, and live free from poverty and violence. No people on Earth yearn +to be oppressed, or aspire to servitude, or eagerly await the midnight +knock of the secret police. + +If anyone doubts this, let them look to Afghanistan, where the Islamic +"street" greeted the fall of tyranny with song and celebration. Let the +skeptics look to Islam's own rich history, with its centuries of learning, +and tolerance and progress. America will lead by defending liberty and +justice because they are right and true and unchanging for all people +everywhere. (Applause.) + +No nation owns these aspirations, and no nation is exempt from them. We +have no intention of imposing our culture. But America will always stand +firm for the non-negotiable demands of human dignity: the rule of law; +limits on the power of the state; respect for women; private property; free +speech; equal justice; and religious tolerance. (Applause.) + +America will take the side of brave men and women who advocate these values +around the world, including the Islamic world, because we have a greater +objective than eliminating threats and containing resentment. We seek a +just and peaceful world beyond the war on terror. + +In this moment of opportunity, a common danger is erasing old rivalries. +America is working with Russia and China and India, in ways we have never +before, to achieve peace and prosperity. In every region, free markets and +free trade and free societies are proving their power to lift lives. +Together with friends and allies from Europe to Asia, and Africa to Latin +America, we will demonstrate that the forces of terror cannot stop the +momentum of freedom. (Applause.) + +The last time I spoke here, I expressed the hope that life would return to +normal. In some ways, it has. In others, it never will. Those of us who +have lived through these challenging times have been changed by them. We've +come to know truths that we will never question: evil is real, and it must +be opposed. (Applause.) Beyond all differences of race or creed, we are one +country, mourning together and facing danger together. Deep in the American +character, there is honor, and it is stronger than cynicism. And many have +discovered again that even in tragedy--especially in tragedy--God is +near. (Applause.) + +In a single instant, we realized that this will be a decisive decade in the +history of liberty, that we've been called to a unique role in human +events. Rarely has the world faced a choice more clear or consequential. + +Our enemies send other people's children on missions of suicide and murder. +They embrace tyranny and death as a cause and a creed. We stand for a +different choice, made long ago, on the day of our founding. We affirm it +again today. We choose freedom and the dignity of every life. (Applause.) + +Steadfast in our purpose, we now press on. We have known freedom's price. +We have shown freedom's power. And in this great conflict, my fellow +Americans, we will see freedom's victory. + +Thank you all. May God bless. (Applause.) + + + +*** END OF THE PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK OF ADDRESSES BY GEORGE W.

If the value +per text is nominally estimated at one dollar then we produce $2 +million dollars per hour in 2002 as we release over 100 new text +files per month: 1240 more eBooks in 2001 for a total of 4000+ +We are already on our way to trying for 2000 more eBooks in 2002 +If they reach just 1-2% of the world's population then the total +will reach over half a trillion eBooks given away by year's end. + +The Goal of Project Gutenberg is to Give Away 1 Trillion eBooks! +This is ten thousand titles each to one hundred million readers, +which is only about 4% of the present number of computer users. + +Here is the briefest record of our progress (* means estimated): + +eBooks Year Month + + 1 1971 July + 10 1991 January + 100 1994 January + 1000 1997 August + 1500 1998 October + 2000 1999 December + 2500 2000 December + 3000 2001 November + 4000 2001 October/November + 6000 2002 December* + 9000 2003 November* +10000 2004 January* + + +The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation has been created +to secure a future for Project Gutenberg into the next millennium. + +We need your donations more than ever! + +As of February, 2002, contributions are being solicited from people +and organizations in: Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Connecticut, +Delaware, District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Illinois, +Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Massachusetts, +Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New +Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, +Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South +Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, West +Virginia, Wisconsin, and Wyoming. + +We have filed in all 50 states now, but these are the only ones +that have responded. + +As the requirements for other states are met, additions to this list +will be made and fund raising will begin in the additional states. +Please feel free to ask to check the status of your state. + +In answer to various questions we have received on this: + +We are constantly working on finishing the paperwork to legally +request donations in all 50 states.
