Remarks by President Bush Before Meeting with Bicameral Bipartisan Leadership

Contact: White House, Office of the Press Secretary, 202-456-2580

 

WASHINGTON, May 2 /Standard Newswire/ -- The following text is of remarks by President Bush before meeting with bicameral bipartisan leadership:

 

Cabinet Room

2:46 P.M. EDT

 

THE PRESIDENT:  I thank the leaders from Congress for coming down to discuss the Iraq funding issue.  Yesterday was a day that highlighted differences.  Today is a day where we can work together to find common ground.  I will inform the Speaker and the Leader of our serious intent, and to that end, I am going to name my Chief of Staff, Josh Bolten, along with Steve Hadley and Rob Portman to work with members of both parties to fund our troops.

 

I think it's very important we do this as quickly as we possibly can.  I'm confident that we can reach agreement.  I know that it's going to require goodwill, but we all care deeply about our country and care about this issue.  And so I want to thank the members for coming down again.  I'm looking forward to our discussions.  I'm looking forward to what will be a constructive set of discussions and negotiation.

 

Thank you all.

 

 END  2:47 P.M. EDT
