Dear Mark:

Thank you for your correspondence and your kind words. I appreciate
learning your views and suggestions.

It is an incredible honor to be President of such a great Nation, where
freedom is the right of every citizen. During this important moment in
America's history, we will lead liberty's advance, shape our economic
future, and strive to be a more compassionate society. We are building
the foundation for a stronger Nation and a more peaceful world.

Laura and I send our best wishes. May God bless you, and may God
continue to bless America.

Sincerely,

George W. Bush
