Dear Dr. Barbieri,
This is a brief note to thank you for the friendship and steadfast support you have given me
and my Administration.
Friends have always served as a source of inspiration and strength in my life. Your support
has been invaluable in our efforts to keep America strong and free.
Over the past four years we have reduced the threat and instability created by nuclear weapons,
helped extend the blessings of democracy abroad, opened foreign markets to our nation's
businesses, and repelled the aggression of a foreign dictator.
We have worked to create the conditions in which entrepreneurship will flourish, begun a
renaissance in America's schools, expanded our transportation system, enhanced our nation's
environment, made great strides in strengthening our nations ability to compete
internationally, and accomplished much in improving the health and quality of life
for all Americans.
You have been with me in this important quest, and for that I will forever be grateful.
Thank you. God bless you, and God bless the United States of America.
Sincerely,
George Bush
