Letter to Congressional Leaders Transmitting a Report on the Extension
of Normal Trade Relations Status for Certain Former Eastern Bloc States
July 2, 2001
Dear Mr. Speaker: (Dear Mr. President:)
On September 21, 1994, President Clinton determined and reported to
the Congress that the Russian Federation was not in violation of
paragraphs (1), (2), or (3) of subsection 402(a) of the Trade Act of
1974, or paragraphs (1), (2), or (3) of subsection 409(a) of that Act.
On June 3, 1997, he also determined and reported to the Congress that
Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Moldova, and Ukraine were not in violation
of the same provisions, and made an identical determination on December
5, 1997, with respect to Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan,
Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan. These actions allowed for the continuation
of normal trade relations for these countries and certain other
activities without the requirement of an annual waiver.
On June 29, 2000, pursuant to subsection 302(b) of Public Law 106-
200, President Clinton determined that title IV of the 1974 Trade Act
should no longer apply to Kyrgyzstan, and on December 29, 2000, pursuant
to section 3002 of Public Law 106-476, he determined that title IV of
the 1974 Trade Act should no longer apply to Georgia.
As required by law, I am submitting an updated report to the
Congress concerning the emigration laws and policies of Armenia,
Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Moldova, the Russian Federation, Tajikistan,
Turkmenistan, Ukraine, and Uzbekistan.
The report indicates continued compliance of these countries with
international standards concerning freedom of emigration.
Sincerely,
George W. Bush

Letter to Congressional Leaders Transmitting the District of Columbia's
Fiscal Year 2002 Budget Request Act and Fiscal Year 2001 Supplemental
Budget Request
July 2, 2001
Dear Mr. Speaker: (Dear Mr. President:)
Pursuant to my constitutional authority and consistent with sections
202(c) and (e) of The District of Columbia Financial Management and
Responsibility Assistance Act of 1995 and section 446 of The District of
Columbia Self-Governmental Reorganization Act as amended in 1989, I am
transmitting the District of Columbia's Fiscal Year 2002 Budget Request
Act and Fiscal Year 2001 Supplemental Budget Request.
The proposed FY 2002 Budget Request Act reflects the major
programmatic objectives of the Mayor and the Council of the District of
Columbia. For FY 2002, the District estimates total revenues and
expenditures of $5.3 billion, resulting in an adjusted surplus of $85.8
million.
[[Page 1008]]
The FY 2001 Supplemental Budget Request seeks approval for the
District to use $92.5 million in surplus local revenues to address FY
2001 budget pressures, and approval for the Water and Sewer Authority
(an enterprise fund) to spend $2.2 million of its own revenue.
Sincerely,
George W. Bush

Remarks During a Visit to a White House Staff Member at Inova Fairfax
Hospital and an Exchange With Reporters in Fairfax, Virginia
July 3, 2001
The President. You know, when they come it reminds us of the
responsibilities that we have in life. And Vivienne is lucky to have a
mother and dad who will love her all the time. And she doesn't know it,
yet, but she's learning pretty quickly. She's less than 24 hours old.
We also have a responsibility to make sure education systems provide
excellence for every child. We have a responsibility--and Congress needs
to bring me a bill that will help the patients who come to these
hospitals maintain a reasonable insurance, and a bill that doesn't help
lawyers.
We have a responsibility to encourage love all throughout our
communities. That's why the faith-based initiative is so important. A
lot of babies are born sometimes where the--some babies are born where
people just don't love them like they should. And as a society, we've
got to make up for that love.
Yesterday I had the opportunity to meet with service organizations
all across--representing people from all across the country, committed
to finding a million mentors to love children.
The good news for this little baby is she's got a mom and dad who
know their responsibilities. It's a great Fourth of July gift.
Congratulations.
Okay.

referred to Vivienne Anna Sayle, daughter of Desiree Sayle, Director of
Correspondence for the First Lady, and attorney Stephen Sayle. A tape
was not available for verification of the content of these remarks.

Message on the Observance of Independence Day, 2001
July 3, 2001
Two hundred and twenty-five years ago, the signers of the
Declaration of Independence boldly asserted that all are ``created
equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable
Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of
Happiness.'' With these words, the Signers announced the birth of a new
Nation and put forth a vision of liberty and democracy that would
forever alter history.
Every Fourth of July, Americans celebrate this pivotal moment in our
national story, which set into motion the development of a land of
freedom and opportunity unequalled in the world. The Declaration brought
forth a new style of government, where democratic institutions gained
their power from the consent of the governed. Today, we recognize that
people around the globe have also drawn inspiration from the Declaration
of Independence. Our prosperity and strength stand as a testament to the
ideals it embodies.
Independence Day serves as a special time to remember the
achievements of our great statesmen, social reformers, inventors, and
artists. We pause to give thanks for the many men and women who gave
their lives to defend our freedom. At the same time, the Fourth of July
provides a unique occasion to reflect on the challenges ahead. By
building on the efforts of previous generations and pursuing opportunity
and justice for all our
[[Page 1009]]
citizens, we will continue our Nation's development and help ensure a
brighter future for all Americans.
On this great day, I extend my best wishes to all Americans for a
safe and memorable Independence Day. God bless you, and God bless
America.
George W. Bush
