(from internet transcript)

O'NEIL
Excuse me. This information has become classified.
(to Kawalski)
From now on, no information is to be passed on to non-military personnel without my express permission.

[Kawalski nods, and O'Neil leaves.]

MYERS
Catherine, what's going on here?

CATHERINE
I'm not sure.

INT—CORRIDOR

[O'Neil continues to walk down a corridor. Catherine approaches from behind.]

CATHERINE
Colonel O'Neil, I think you owe me an explanation.

[O'Neil stops and turns back.]

CATHERINE
I was told I had complete autonomy.

O'NEIL
Plans change.

CATHERINE
Why are you here? Why did they bring you on this project?

[O'Neil glances around evasively before looking directly at her.]

O'NEIL
I'm here in case you succeed.

[He walks off as Catherine chuckles ruefully.]

The American Presidency Project

GEORGE W. BUSH

43rd President of the United States: 2001 - 2009

Message to the Congress on the Death of President Ronald Reagan

June 8, 2004

To the Congress of the United States:

By this Message, I officially inform you of the death of Ronald Reagan, the fortieth President of the United States.

Ronald Reagan was a great leader and a good man. He had the confidence that comes with conviction, the strength that comes with character, the grace that comes with humility, and the humor that comes with wisdom.

Through his leadership, spirit, and abiding faith in the American people, President Reagan gave our Nation a renewed optimism. With his courage and moral clarity, he enhanced America's security and advanced the spread of peace, liberty, and democracy to millions of people who had lived in darkness and oppression. As America's President, he helped change the world.

The sun has now set on Ronald Reagan's extraordinary American life. Just as he told us that our Nation's best days are yet to come, we know that the same is true for him.

GEORGE W. BUSH
