you all for coming. Thanks for your interest in this country and
its future. We've got some big challenges ahead of us. We've got
an opportunity to make the world a more peaceful place, and a
freer place. And I believe, as a result of the resolve of the
United States of America, the world will be more peaceful, and
the world will be more free. And here at home, we've got a
challenge with our economy. I mean, frankly, it's not strong
enough; it is not robust enough. Anytime somebody is looking for
a job and can't find one means we've got to work together to
create jobs.  President George W. Bush meets with small
investors at Charles Schwab and Company in Alexandria, Va.,
