Statement by the Press Secretary on SCHIP
Today, the Senate passed another SCHIP bill with major flaws, especially its failure to cover poor children first. Congress has known for weeks that the President would veto this bill. Now Congress should get back to work on legislation that covers poor children – and stop using valuable floor time to make partisan statements.

President Bush Previews War on Terror Speech
On Thursday, President Bush said, “I wanted to highlight the speech I’m giving today to Heritage. I’m concerned that there are some who have lost sight of the fact that we’re at war with extremists and radicals who want to attack us again. Part of the speech is to remind people that even though we haven’t been attacked since September the 11th, there’s still an enemy out there that would like to attack us. And therefore, it’s important for Congress to pass law and/or confirm nominees that will enable this government to more effectively defend the country and pursue terrorists and radicals that would like to do us harm.”
