A REPORT ON THE STATE OF THE UNION
<GRAPHIC(S) NOT AVAILABLE IN TIFF FORMAT>
February 1, 2006.--Message and accompanying papers referred to the
Committee on the Whole House on the State of the Union and ordered to
be printed
To the Congress of the United States:
Speaker, Vice President Cheney, Members of Congress,
Members of the Supreme Court and diplomatic corps,
distinguished guests, and fellow citizens:
Today our Nation lost a beloved, graceful, courageous woman
who called America to its founding ideals and carried on a
noble dream. Tonight we are comforted by the hope of a glad
reunion with the husband who was taken from her so long ago,
and we are grateful for the good life of Coretta Scott King.
Each time I am invited to this rostrum, I am humbled by the
privilege, and mindful of the history we have seen together. We
have gathered under this Capitol dome in moments of national
mourning and national achievement. We have served America
through one of the most consequential periods of our history
and it has been my honor to serve with you.
In a system of two parties, two chambers, and two elected
branches, there will always be differences and debate. But even
tough debates can be conducted in a civil tone, and our
differences cannot be allowed to harden into anger. To confront
the great issues before us, we must act in a spirit of goodwill
and respect for one another--and I will do my part. Tonight the
state of our Union is strong--and together we will make it
stronger.
In this decisive year, you and I will make choices that
determine both the future and the character of our country. We
will choose to act confidently in pursuing the enemies of
freedom--or retreat from our duties in the hope of an easier
life. We will choose to build our prosperity by leading the
world economy--or shut ourselves off from trade and
opportunity. In a complex and challenging time, the road of
isolationism and protectionism may seem broad and inviting--yet
it ends in danger and decline. The only way to protect our
people . . . the only way to secure the peace . . . the only
way to control our destiny is by our leadership--so the United
States of America will continue to lead.
Abroad, our Nation is committed to an historic, long-term
goal--we seek the end of tyranny in our world. Some dismiss
that goal as misguided idealism. In reality, the future
security of America depends on it. On September 11, 2001, we
found that problems originating in a failed and oppressive
state seven thousand miles away could bring murder and
destruction to our country. Dictatorships shelter terrorists,
feed resentment and radicalism, and seek weapons of mass
destruction. Democracies replace resentment with hope, respect
the rights of their citizens and their neighbors, and join the
fight against terror. Every step toward freedom in the world
makes our country safer, and so we will act boldly in freedom's
cause.
Far from being a hopeless dream, the advance of freedom is
the great story of our time. In 1945, there were about two
dozen lonely democracies on Earth. Today, there are 122. And we
are writing a new chapter in the story of self-government--with
women lining up to vote in Afghanistan . . . and millions of
Iraqis marking their liberty with purple ink . . . and men and
women from Lebanon to Egypt debating the rights of individuals
and the necessity of freedom. At the start of 2006, more than
half the people of our world live in democratic nations. we do
not forget the other half--in places like Syria, Burma,
Zimbabwe, North Korea, and Iran--because the demands of
justice, and the peace of this world, require their freedom as
well.
No one can deny the success of freedom, but some men rage
and fight against it. And one of the main sources of reaction
and opposition is radical Islam--the perversion by a few of a
noble faith into an ideology of terror and death.
Terroristslike bin Laden are serious about mass murder--and all of us
must take their declared intentions seriously. They seek to impose a
heartless system of totalitarian control throughout the Middle East,
and arm themselves with weapons of mass murder. Their aim is to seize
power in Iraq, and use it as a safe haven to launch attacks against
America and the world. Lacking the military strength to challenge us
directly, the terrorists have chosen the weapon of fear. When they
murder children at a school in Beslan . . . or blow up commuters in
London . . . or behead a bound captive . . . the terrorists hope these
horrors will break our will, allowing the violent to inherit the Earth.
But they have miscalculated: We love our freedom, and we will fight to
keep it.
In a time of testing, we cannot find security by abandoning
our commitments and retreating within our borders. If we were
to leave these vicious attackers alone, they would not leave us
alone. They would simply move the battlefield to our own
shores. There is no peace in retreat. And there is no honor in
retreat. By allowing radical Islam to work its will--by leaving
an assaulted world to fend for itself--we would signal to all
that we no longer believe in our own ideals, or even in our own
courage. But our enemies and our friends can be certain: The
United States will not retreat from the world, and we will
never surrender to evil.
America rejects the false comfort of isolationism. We are
the Nation that saved liberty in Europe, and liberated death
camps, and helped raise up democracies, and faced down an evil
empire. Once again, we accept the call of history to deliver
the oppressed, and move this world toward peace.
We remain on the offensive against terror networks. We have
killed or captured many of their leaders--and for the others,
their day will come.
We remain on the offensive in Afghanistan--where a fine
president and national assembly are fighting terror while
building the institutions of a new democracy.
And we are on the offensive in Iraq, with a clear plan for
victory. First, we are helping Iraqis build an inclusive
government, so that old resentments will be eased, and the
insurgency marginalized. Second, we are continuing
reconstruction efforts, and helping the Iraqi government to
fight corruption and build a modern economy, so all Iraqis can
experience the benefits of freedom. Third, we are striking
terrorist targets while we train Iraqi forces that are
increasingly capable of defeating the enemy. Iraqis are showing
their courage every day, and we are proud to be their allies in
the cause of freedom.
Our work in Iraq is difficult, because our enemy is brutal.
But that brutality has not stopped the dramatic progress of a
new democracy. In less than 3 years, that nation has gone from
dictatorship, to liberation, to sovereignty, to a constitution,
to national elections. At the same time, our coalition has been
relentless in shutting off terrorist infiltration, clearing out
insurgent strongholds, and turning over territory to Iraqi
security forces. I am confident in our plan for victory . . . I
am confident in the will of the Iraqi people . . . I am
confident in the skill and spirit of our military. Fellow
citizens, we are in this fight to win, and we are winning.
The road of victory is the road that will take our troops
home. As we make progress on the ground, and Iraqi forces
increasingly take the lead, we should be able to further
decrease our troop levels--but those decisions will be made by
our military commanders, not by politicians in Washington, DC.
Our coalition has learned from experience in Iraq. We have
adjusted our military tactics and changed our approach to
reconstruction. Along the way, we have benefited
fromresponsible criticism and counsel offered by Members of Congress of
both parties. In the coming year, I will continue to reach. out and
seek your good advice.
Yet there is a difference between responsible criticism
that aims for success, and defeatism that refuses to
acknowledge anything but failure. Hindsight alone is not
wisdom. And second-guessing is not a strategy.
With so much in the balance, those of us in public office
have a duty to speak with candor. A sudden withdrawal of our
forces from Iraq would abandon our Iraqi allies to death and
prison . . . put men like bin Laden and Zarqawi in charge of a
strategic country . . . and show that a pledge from America
means little. Members of Congress: however we feel about the
decisions and debates of the past, our Nation has only one
option: We must keep our word, defeat our enemies, and stand
behind the American military in its vital mission.
Our men and women in uniform are making sacrifices--and
showing a sense of duty stronger than all fear. They know what
it is like to fight house to house in a maze of streets . . .
to wear heavy gear in the desert heat . . . to see a comrade
killed by a roadside bomb. And those who know the costs also
know the stakes. Marine Staff Sergeant Dan Clay was killed last
month fighting the enemy in Fallujah. He left behind a letter
to his family, but his words could just as well be addressed to
every American. Here is what Dan wrote: ``I know what honor is.
It has been an honor to protect and serve all of you. I faced
death with the secure knowledge that you would not have to . .
. Never falter! Don't hesitate to honor and support those of us
who have the honor of protecting that which is worth
protecting.''
Staff Sergeant Dan Clay's wife, Lisa, and his mom and dad,
Sara Jo and Bud, are with us this evening. Our Nation is
grateful to the fallen, who live in the memory of our country.
We are grateful to all who volunteer to wear our Nation's
uniform--and as we honor our brave troops, let us never forget
the sacrifices of America's military families.
Our offensive against terror involves more than military
action. Ultimately, the only way to defeat the terrorists is to
defeat their dark vision of hatred and fear by offering the
hopeful alternative of political freedom and peaceful change.
So the United States of America supports democratic reform
across the broader Middle East. Elections are vital--but they
are only the beginning. Raising up a democracy requires the
rule of law, protection of minorities, and strong, accountable
institutions that last longer than a single vote. The great
people of Egypt have voted in a multi-party presidential
election--and now their government should open paths of
peaceful opposition that will reduce the appeal of radicalism.
The palestinian people have voted in elections--now the leaders
of Hamas must recognize Israel, disarm, reject terrorism, and
work for lasting peace. Saudi Arabia has taken the first steps
of reform--now it can offer its people a better future by
pressing forward with those efforts. Democracies in the Middle
East will not look like our own, because they will reflect the
traditions of their own citizens. Yet liberty is the future of
every nation in the Middle East, because liberty is the right
and hope of all humanity.
The same is true of Iran, a nation now held hostage by a
small clerical elite that is isolating and repressing its
people. The regime in that country sponsors terrorists in the
Palestinian territories and in Lebanon--and that must come to
an end. The Iranian government is defying the world with its
nuclear ambitions--and the nations of the world must not permit
the Iranian regime to gain nuclear weapons. America will
continue to rally the world to confront these threats. And
tonight, letme speak directly to the citizens of Iran: America
respects you, and we respect your country. We respect your right to
choose your own future and win your own freedom. And our Nation hopes
one day to be the closest of friends with a free and democratic Iran.
To overcome dangers in our world, we must also take the
offensive by encouraging economic progress, fighting disease,
and spreading hope in hopeless lands. Isolationism would not
only tie our hands in fighting enemies, it would keep us from
helping our friends in desperate need. We show compassion
abroad because Americans believe in the God-given dignity and
worth of a villager with HIV/AIDS, or an infant with malaria,
or a refugee fleeing genocide, or a young girl sold into
slavery. We also show compassion abroad because regions
overwhelmed by poverty, corruption, and despair are sources of
terrorism, organized crime, human trafficking, and the drug
trade.
In recent years, you and I have taken unprecedented action
to fight AIDS and malaria, expand the education of girls, and
reward developing nations that are moving forward with economic
and political reform. For people everywhere, the United States
is a partner for a better life. Short-changing these efforts
would increase the suffering and chaos of our world, undercut
our long-term security, and dull the conscience of our country.
I urge Members of Congress to serve the interests of America by
showing the compassion of America.
Our country must also remain on the offensive against
terrorism here at home. The enemy has not lost the desire or
capability to attack us. Fortunately, this Nation has superb
professionals in law enforcement, intelligence, the military,
and homeland security. These men and women are dedicating their
lives to protecting us all, and they deserve our support and
our thanks. They also deserve the same tools they already use
to fight drug trafficking and organized crime--so I ask you to
reauthorize the Patriot Act.
It is said that prior to the attacks of September 11th, our
Government failed to connect the dots of the conspiracy. We now
know that two of the hijackers in the United States placed
telephone calls to al-Qaida operatives overseas. But we did not
know about their plans until it was too late. So to prevent
another attack--based on authority given to me by the
Constitution and by statute--I have authorized a terrorist
surveillance program to aggressively pursue the international
communications of suspected al-Qaida operatives and affiliates
to and from America. Previous presidents have used the same
constitutional authority I have--and Federal courts have
approved the use of that authority. Appropriate Members of
Congress have been kept informed. This terrorist surveillance
program has helped prevent terrorist attacks. It remains
essential to the security of America. If there are people
inside our country who are talking with al-Qaida, we want to
know about it--because we will not sit back and wait to be hit
again.
In all these areas--from the disruption of terror networks,
to victory in Iraq, to the spread of freedom and hope in
troubled regions--we need the support of friends and allies. To
draw that support, we must always be clear in our principles
and willing to act. The only alternative to American leadership
is a dramatically more dangerous and anxious world. Yet we also
choose to lead because it is a privilege to serve the values
that gave us birth. American leaders--from Roosevelt to Truman
to Kennedy to Reagan--rejected isolation and retreat, because
they knew that America is always more secure when freedom is on
the march. Our own generation is in a long war against a
determined enemy--a war that will be fought by Presidents of
both parties,who will need steady bipartisan support from the
Congress. And tonight I ask for yours. Together, let us protect our
country, support the men and women who defend us, and lead this world
toward freedom.
Here at home, America also has a great opportunity: We will
build the prosperity of our country by strengthening our
economic leadership in the world.
Our economy is healthy, and vigorous, and growing faster
than other major industrialized nations. In the last two-and-a-
half years, America has created 4.6 million new jobs--more than
Japan and the European Union combined. Even in the face of
higher energy prices and natural disasters, the American people
have turned in an economic performance that is the envy of the
world.
The American economy is pre-eminent--but we cannot afford
to be complacent. In a dynamic world economy, we are seeing new
competitors like China and India. This creates uncertainty,
which makes it easier to feed people's fears. And so we are
seeing some old temptations return. Protectionists want to
escape competition, pretending that we can keep our high
standard of living while walling off our economy. Others say
that the Government needs to take a larger role in directing
the economy, centralizing more power in Washington and
increasing taxes. We hear claims that immigrants are somehow
bad for the economy--even though this economy could not
function without them. All these are forms of economic retreat,
and they lead in the same direction--toward a stagnant and
second-rate economy.
Tonight I will set out a better path--an agenda for a
Nation that competes with confidence--an agenda that will raise
standards of living and generate new jobs. Americans should not
fear our economic future, because we intend to shape it.
Keeping America competitive begins with keeping our economy
growing. And our economy grows when Americans have more of
their own money to spend, save, and invest. In the last 5
years, the tax relief you passed has left $880 billion in the
hands of American workers, investors, small businesses, and
families--and they have used it to help produce more than 4
years of uninterrupted economic growth. Yet the tax relief is
set to expire in the next few years. If we do nothing, American
families will face a massive tax increase they do not expect
and will not welcome.
Because America needs more than a temporary expansion, we
need more than temporary tax relief. I urge the Congress to act
responsibly, and make the tax cuts permanent.
Keeping America competitive requires us to be good stewards
of tax dollars. Every year of my presidency, we have reduced
the growth of non-security discretionary spending--and last
year you passed bills that cut this spending. This year my
budget will cut it again, and reduce or eliminate more than 140
programs that are performing poorly or not fulfilling essential
priorities. By passing these reforms, we will save the American
taxpayer another $14 billion next year--and stay on track to
cut the deficit in half by 2009. I am pleased that Members of
Congress are working on earmark reform--because the Federal
budget has too many special interest projects. And we can
tackle this problem together, if you pass the line-item veto.
We must also confront the larger challenge of mandatory
spending, or entitlements. This year, the first of about 78
million Baby Boomers turn 60, including two of my Dad's
favorite people--me, and President Bill Clinton. This milestone
is more than a personal crisis--it is a national challenge. The
retirement of the Baby Boom generation will put unprecedented
strains on the Federal Government. By 2030,spending for Social
Security, Medicare, and Medicaid alone will be almost 60 percent of the
entire Federal budget. And that will present future Congresses with
impossible choices--staggering tax increases, immense deficits, or deep
cuts in every category of spending.
Congress did not act last year on my proposal to save
Social Security, yet the rising cost of entitlements is a
problem that is not going away--and with every year we fail to
act, the situation gets worse. So tonight, I ask you to join me
in creating a commission to examine the full impact of Baby
Boom retirements on Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid.
This commission should include Members of Congress of both
parties, and offer bipartisan answers. We need to put aside
partisan politics, work together, and get this problem solved.
Keeping America competitive requires us to open more
markets for all that Americans make and grow. One out of every
five factory jobs in America is related to global trade, and we
want people everywhere to buy American. With open markets and a
level playing field, no one can out-produce or out-compete the
American worker.
Keeping America competitive requires an immigration system
that upholds our laws, reflects our values, and serves the
interests of our economy. Our Nation needs orderly and secure
borders. To meet this goal, we must have stronger immigration
enforcement and border protection. And we must have a rational,
humane guest worker program that rejects amnesty . . . allows
temporary jobs for people who seek them legally . . . and
reduces smuggling and crime at the border.
Keeping America competitive requires affordable health
care. Our Government has a responsibility to help provide
health care for the poor and the elderly, and we are meeting
that responsibility. For all Americans, we must confront the
rising cost of care . . . strengthen the doctor-patient
relationship . . . and help people afford the insurance
coverage they need. We will make wider use of electronic
records and other health information technology to help control
costs and reduce dangerous medical errors. We will strengthen
Health Savings Accounts--by making sure individuals and small
business employees can buy insurance with the same advantages
that people working for big businesses now get. We will do more
to make this coverage portable, so workers can switch jobs
without having to worry about losing their health insurance.
And because lawsuits are driving many good doctors out of
practice--leaving women in nearly 1,500 American counties
without a single OB-GYN--I ask the Congress to pass medical
liability reform this year.
Keeping America competitive requires affordable energy.
Here we have a serious problem: America is addicted to oil,
which is often imported from unstable parts of the world.
The best way to break this addiction is through technology.
Since 2001, we have spent nearly $10 billion to develop
cleaner, cheaper, more reliable alternative energy sources--and
we are on the threshold of incredible advances. So tonight, I
announce the Advanced Energy Initiative--a 22-percent increase
in clean-energy research at the Department of Energy, to push
for breakthroughs in two vital areas. To change how we power
our homes and offices, we will invest more in zero-emission
coal-fired plants; revolutionary solar and wind technologies;
and clean, safe nuclear energy.
We must also change how we power our automobiles. We will
increase our research in better batteries for hybrid and
electric cars, and in pollution-free cars that run on hydrogen.
We will also fund additional research in cutting-edge methods
of producing ethanol, not just from corn but from wood chips,
stalks, or even leaves. Our goal is to make this new kindof
ethanol practical and competitive within 6 years. Breakthroughs on this
and other new technologies will help us reach another great goal: to
replace more than 75 percent of our oil imports from the Middle East by
2025. By applying the talent and technology of America, this country
can dramatically improve our environment . . . move beyond a petroleum-
based economy . . . and make our dependence on Middle Eastern oil a
thing of the past.
And to keep America competitive, one commitment is
necessary above all: We must continue to lead the world in
human talent and creativity. Our greatest advantage in the
world has always been our educated, hard-working, ambitious
people--and we are going to keep that edge. Tonight I announce
the American Competitiveness Initiative, to encourage
innovation throughout our economy, and to give our Nation's
children a firm grounding in math and science.
First: I propose to double the Federal commitment to the
most critical basic research programs in the physical sciences
over the next 10 years. This funding will support the work of
America's most creative minds as they explore promising areas
such as nanotechnology, supercomputing, and alternative energy
sources.
Second: I propose to make permanent the research and
development tax credit, to encourage bolder private-sector
investment in technology. With more research in both the public
and private sectors, we will improve our quality of life--and
ensure that America will lead the world in opportunity and
innovation for decades to come.
Third: We need to encourage children to take more math and
science, and make sure those courses are rigorous enough to
compete with other nations. We have made a good start in the
early grades with the No Child Left Behind Act, which is
raising standards and lifting test scores across our country.
Tonight I propose to train 70,000 high school teachers, to lead
advanced-placement courses in math and science . . . bring
30,000 math and science professionals to teach in classrooms .
. . and give early help to students who struggle with math, so
they have a better chance at good, high-wage jobs. If we ensure
that America's children succeed in life, they will ensure that
America succeeds in the world.
Preparing our Nation to compete in the world is a goal that
all of us can share. I urge you to support the American
Competitiveness Initiative . . . and together we will show the
world what the American people can achieve.
America is a great force for freedom and prosperity. Yet
our greatness is not measured in power or luxuries, but by who
we are and how we treat one another. So we strive to be a
compassionate, decent, hopeful society.
In recent years, America has become a more hopeful Nation.
Violent crime rates have fallen to their lowest levels since
the 1970s. Welfare cases have dropped by more than half over
the past decade. Drug use among youth is down 19 percent since
2001. There are fewer abortions in America than at any point in
the last three decades, and the number of children born to
teenage mothers has been falling for a dozen years in a row.
These gains are evidence of a quiet transformation--a
revolution of conscience, in which a rising generation is
finding that a life of personal responsibility is a life of
fulfillment. Government has played a role. Wise policies such
as welfare reform, drug education, and support for abstinence
and adoption have made a difference in the character of our
country. And everyone here tonight, Democrat and Republican,
has a right to be proud of this record.
Yet many Americans, especially parents, still have deep
concerns about the direction of our culture, and the health of
our most basic institutions. They are concerned about unethical
conduct by public officials, and discouraged by activist courts
that try to redefine marriage. And they worry about children in
our society who need direction and love . . . and about fellow
citizens still displaced by natural disaster . . . and about
suffering caused by treatable disease.
As we look at these challenges, we must never give in to
the belief that America is in decline, or that our culture is
doomed to unravel. The American people know better than that.
We have proven the pessimists wrong before--and we will do it
again.
A hopeful society depends on courts that deliver equal
justice under law. The Supreme Court now has two superb new
members, Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Sam Alito. I
thank the Senate for confirming both of them. And I will
continue to nominate men and women who understand that judges
must be servants of the law, and not legislate from the bench.
Today marks the official retirement of a very special American.
For 24 years of faithful service to our Nation, the United
States honors Justice Sandra Day O'Connor.
A hopeful society has institutions of science and medicine
that do not cut ethical corners, and that recognize the
matchless value of every life. Tonight I ask you to pass
legislation to prohibit the most egregious abuses of medical
research--human cloning in all its forms . . . creating or
implanting embryos for experiments . . . creating human-animal
hybrids . . . and buying, selling, or patenting human embryos.
Human life is a gift from our Creator--and that gift should
never be discarded, devalued, or put up for sale.
A hopeful society expects elected officials to uphold the
public trust. Honorable people in both parties are working on
reforms to strengthen the ethical standards of Washington--and
I support your efforts. Each of us has made a pledge to be
worthy of public responsibility--and that is a pledge we must
never forget, never dismiss, and never betray.
As we renew the promise of our institutions, let us also
show the character of America in our compassion and care for
one another.
A hopeful society gives special attention to children who
lack direction and love. Through the Helping America's Youth
Initiative, we are encouraging caring adults to get involved in
the life of a child--and this good work is led by our First
Lady, Laura Bush. This year we will add resources to encourage
young people to stay in school--so more of America's youth can
raise their sights and achieve their dreams.
A hopeful society comes to the aid of fellow citizens in
times of suffering and emergency--and stays at it until they
are back on their feet. So far the Federal Government has
committed $85 billion to the people of the Gulf Coast and New
Orleans. We are removing debris, repairing highways, and
building stronger levees. We are providing business loans and
housing assistance. Yet as we meet these immediate needs, we
must also address deeper challenges that existed before the
storm arrived. In New Orleans and in other places, many of our
fellow citizens have felt excluded from the promise of our
country. The answer is not only temporary relief, but schools
that teach every child . . . and job skills that bring upward
mobility . . . and more opportunities to own a home and start a
business. As we recover from a disaster, let us also work for
the day when all Americans are protected by justice, equal in
hope, and rich in opportunity.
A hopeful society acts boldly to fight diseases like HIV/
AIDS, which can be prevented, and treated, and defeated. More
than a million Americans live with HIV, and half of all
AIDScases occur among African-Americans. I ask Congress to reform and
reauthorize the Ryan White Act . . . and provide new funding to States,
so we end the waiting lists for AIDS medicine in America. We will also
lead a nationwide effort, working closely with African-American
churches and faith-based groups, to deliver rapid HIV tests to
millions, end the stigma of AIDS, and come closer to the day when there
are no new infections in America.
Fellow citizens, we have been called to leadership in a
period of consequence. We have entered a great ideological
conflict we did nothing to invite. We see great changes in
science and commerce that will influence all our lives. And
sometimes it can seem that history is turning in a wide arc,
toward an unknown shore.
Yet the destination of history is determined by human
action, and every great movement of history comes to a point of
choosing. Lincoln could have accepted peace at the cost of
disunity and continued slavery. Martin Luther King could have
stopped at Birmingham or at Selma, and achieved only half a
victory over segregation. The United States could have accepted
the permanent division of Europe, and been complicit in the
oppression of others. Today, having come far in our own
historical journey, we must decide: Will we turn back, or
finish well?
Before history is written down in books, it is written in
courage. Like Americans before us, we will show that courage
and we will finish well. We will lead freedom's advance. We
will compete and excel in the global economy. We will renew the
defining moral commitments of this land. And so we move
forward--optimistic about our country, faithful to its cause,
and confident of victories to come.
Thank you, God bless you, and may God bless America.
George W. Bush.
The White House, January 31, 2006.
