Remarks by National Security Advisor Stephen Hadley on the Middle East and Freedom Agenda
MR. HADLEY: Thank you, Jessica. I want to just frame a little bit what we’re going to try and do tonight. As you know, an international conference on the Middle East was held in Annapolis yesterday. At that meeting, Israelis and Palestinians — with the support of their Arab neighbors and the international community — launched negotiations for the establishment of a Palestinian state and for a broader peace between Israelis and Palestinians. Success in these negotiations will contribute to the ultimate goal of a comprehensive peace between Israelis and Arabs.

Statement by the President on Energy Security and Climate Change
I was pleased to receive the Energy Information Administration’s final
report today, which includes U.S. greenhouse gas emissions for 2006.
The final report shows that emissions declined 1.5 percent from the
2005 level, while our economy grew 2.9 percent. That means greenhouse
gas intensity – how much we emit per unit of economic activity -
decreased by 4.2 percent, the largest annual improvement since 1985.
This puts us well ahead of the goal I set in 2002 to reduce greenhouse
gas intensity by 18 percent by 2012. -

President’s Statement on Resignation of Al Hubbard
As the Director of the National Economic Council, Al Hubbard has led
the economic policymaking process in my Administration for some of the
most challenging economic issues confronting our Nation. His work has
resulted in creative, sensible policies that have helped Americans
continue to compete and prosper and live better lives. In leading the
policy process on issues such as taxes, entitlements, health care,
energy security, the environment, and trade and investment, Al
contributed his own ideas and also worked to ensure that all views
were brought to the table and given fair analysis and debate. While
many of the policies Al worked to develop are in place today, other
policy initiatives, including Social Security reform and health care
reform, have laid the foundation for policies I believe will be
adopted in the future. -
