For Immediate Release
Office of the Press Secretary
April 12, 2003
Statement by the President
I am pleased that Congress moved quickly and with strong bipartisan
support to pass my request for our military and to bolster our homeland
defenses during Operation Iraqi Freedom. The world is witnessing the
liberation of Iraq and the delivery of humanitarian aid to the Iraqi
people as a new day begins in their country. This legislation includes
the resources necessary to win the war and help secure enduring freedom
and democracy for the Iraqi people. I look forward to working with the
Congress as we make progress in the war and in providing aid to the
people of Iraq.
