President and Mrs. Bush Saddened by the Death of Julia Carson
Laura and I are saddened by the death of Representative Julia Carson.
Throughout her decade of service in the U.S. House of Representatives
and her nearly 20 years in the Indiana General Assembly,
Representative Carson served her constituents in Indianapolis with
passion and commitment. She was revered as a champion for building
strong and safe communities, working to end homelessness, improving
financial literacy for all Americans, and helping her constituents
achieve and maintain the dream of home ownership. Julia was a
dedicated and admired public servant who will be missed by her many
friends and colleagues both at home in Indiana and in our Nation’s
capital. Our thoughts and prayers are with her family and friends. -

President’s Radio Address
In his weekly radio address President Bush said, “Congress has had plenty of time to consider the emergency funds our troops need. Time is running out. And Pentagon officials say that continued delay in funding our troops will soon begin to have a damaging impact on the operations of our military. Congress’ responsibility is clear: They must deliver vital funds for our troops — and they must do it before they leave for Christmas. Our men and women on the front lines will be spending this holiday season far from their families and loved ones. And this Christmas, they deserve more than words from Congress. They deserve action.”
