Bush set three goals for his White >House staff Monday morning, telling the group that "high standards come >with high office" and that "wisdom and honesty" are required of those who >work in the White House. > >"I expect every member of this administration to stay well within the >boundaries that define legal and ethical conduct," the president said, >moments after Vice President Dick Cheney swore in the White House staff, >with everyone repeating the oath of office together. > >Bush told his staff to avoid even the appearance of problems. "This means >checking, and if need be, double-checking, that the rules have been >obeyed. This means never compromising those rules," Bush said. > >Bush stressed civility as the second goal for his White House staff. "As >we go about our work, there is no excuse for arrogance and never a reason >for disrespect toward others." > >Bush told the crowd gathered in the East Room that in many of their >dealings, "You will be the face and voice of the White House staff. You >will be my representative. I expect each of you, as an official of this >administration, to be an example of humility and decency and fairness." > >Bush said the third goal for his staff is "to remember that we are here >for a reason...to make progress, not just to mark time." > >"Every morning I want you to remember these goals. Every evening, I want >you to review the progress we have made. I want it said at the end of our >service that promises made were promises kept." > >Bush called it "the honor of a lifetime" to be able to serve the American >people as members of the White House team. "We have all taken an oath, and >from this moment on, it is our jobs (sic) to honor it." > >Bush began his remarks by thanking relatives of his White House staff for >their sacrifice in accepting the long hours that their loved ones will put >in "on behalf of the American people." > >He ended his remarks by noting that that time moves fast in the White >House: "So let us begin the work that we were hired to do and leave this a >better place than we found it." > >Before the president spoke, Vice President Cheney - himself a veteran >White House staffer - said it's very important for the White House staff >"never to lose sight of the public trust we have been given." > >end CNS News story > >The new Bush Administration has also quickly confronted the abortion >issue. As pro-life demonstrators in the Capitol are marking the 28th >anniversary of Roe v. Wade, Bush has blocked a rule signed by Bill Clinton >in 1993 that provided federal funds for groups promoting abortions >overseas. > >Here is a statement of support from President Bush that was read to the >marchers: > >"Good afternoon, friends and fellow citizens. Two days ago, Americans >gathered on the Washington Mall to celebrate our Nation's ideals. Today, >you are gathered to remind our country that one of those ideals is the >infinite value of every life. > >I deeply appreciate your message and your work. You see the weak and the >defenseless, and you try to help them. You see the hardship of many young >mothers and their unborn children, and you care for them both. In so many >ways, you make our society more compassionate and welcoming. > >We share a great goal: to work toward a day when every child is welcomed >in life and protected in law. We know this will not come easily, or all at >once. But the goal leads us onward: to build a culture of life, affirming >that every person, at every stage and season of life, is created equal in >God's image. > >The promises of our Declaration of Independence are not just for the >strong, the independent, or the healthy. They are for everyone -- >including unborn children. We are a society with enough compassion and >wealth and love to care for both mothers and their children, to seek the >promise and potential in every human life. > >I believe that we are making progress toward that goal. I trust in the >good hearts of Americans. I trust in the unfolding promise of our country >-- an expanding circle of inclusion and protection. And I trust in the >civility and good sense of our citizens -- a willingness to engage our >differences in a spirit of tolerance and good will. > >All of you marching today have never tired in a good cause. Thank you for >your conviction, your idealism, and your courage. May God bless you all." > >The Washington Post also indicates the new people running the Health and >Human Services Department will be reviewing the Clinton Administration's >approval of the abortion drug RU-486. > >ACTION NEEDED > >Remeber the biblical command to pray for our president. The apostle Paul >said it in First I Timothy 2, "Therefore I exhort first of all that >supplications, prayers, intercessions and giving of thanks be made for all >men, for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead quiet and >peaceable life in all godliness and reverence." > >Please contact President Bush and let him know how much you appreciate his >good actions of today and that you are praying for him. > >President George W.
