Excerpts of Bush's Comments on
Lott

By The Associated Press

Here are President Bush's remarks in
Philadelphia Thursday about Senate
Republican Leader Trent Lott's statements
implying support for past segregation in the
South:

___

``This great and prosperous land must
become a single nation of justice and
opportunity. We must continue our advance toward full equality for every citizen,
which demands ... a guarantee of civil rights for all.

Any suggestion that the segregated past was acceptable or positive is offensive
and it is wrong. Recent comments by Senator Lott do not reflect the spirit of our
country.

He has apologized, and rightly so. Every day our nation was segregated was a
day that America was unfaithful to our founding ideals. And the founding ideals of
our nation and, in fact, the founding ideals of the political party I represent was and
remains today the equal dignity and equal rights of every American.

And this is the principle that guides my administration: We will not and we must
not rest until every person, of every race, believes in the promise of America
because they see it in their own eyes, with their own eyes, and they live it and feel
it in their own lives. We have work to do. Let's be honest about it. We got a lot of
work to do in this country, because there are pockets of despair in America. There
are men and women who doubt the American dream is meant for them.''

RE:I am the poorest resident of a very affluent Chicago suburb.

Are you the local beggar?
