Good morning， everybody.This morning I want to extend to the people of Haiti the deep condolences and unwavering support of the American people following yesterday"s terrible earthquake.
We are just now beginning to learn the extent of the devastation， but the reports and images that we"ve seen of collapsed hospitals， crumbled homes， and men and women carrying their injured neighbors through the streets are truly heart-wrenching. lndeed， for a country and a people who are no strangers to hardship and suffering， this tragedy seems especially cruel and incomprehensible.Our thoughts and prayers are also with the many Haitian-Americans around our country who do not yet know the fate of their families and loved ones back home.
AI have directed my administration to respond with a swift， coordinated， and aggressive effort to save lives. The people of Haiti will have the full support of the United States in the urgent effort to rescue those trapped beneath the rubble， and to deliver the humanitarian relief—the food， water and medicine—that Haitians will need in the coming days.In that effort， our government， especially USAID and the Departments of State and Defense， are working closely together and with our partners in Haiti， the region， and around the world.
BLet me just say that this is a time when we are reminded of the common humanity that we all share. With just a few hundred miles of ocean between us and a long history that binds us together， Haitians are neighbors of the Americas and here at home.So we have to be there for them in their hour of need.
Despite the fact that we are experiencing tough times here at home， I would encourage those Americans who want to support the urgent humanitarian efforts to go to Whitehouse where you can learn how to contribute. CWe must be prepared for difficult hours and days ahead as we learn about the scope of the tragedy.We will keep the victims and their families in our prayers.We will be resolute in our response， and I pledge to the people of Haiti that you will have a friend and partner in the United States of America today and going forward.

Good evening.Today， our fellow citizens， our way of life， our very ******* came under attack in a series of and deadly terrorist acts.The victims were in airplanes， or in their offices；secretaries， businessmen and women， military and federal workers；moms and dads， friends and neighbors.Thousands of lives were suddenly ended by evil， despicable acts of terror.The pictures of airplanes flying into buildings， fires burning， huge structures collapsing， have filled us with disbelief， terrible sadness， and a quiet， unyielding anger.AThese acts of mass murder were intended to frighten our nation into chaos and retreat.But they have failed；our country is strong.
A great people have been moved to defend a great nation. Terrorist attacks can shake the foundations of our biggest buildings， but they cannot touch the foundation of America.These acts shattered steel， but they cannot dent the steel of American resolve.
Today， our nation saw evil， the very worst of human nature. And we responded with the best of America—with the daring of our rescue workers， with the caring for strangers and neighbors who came to give blood and help in any way they could.
Immediately following the first attack， I implemented our government"s emergency response plans. Our military is powerful， and it"s prepared.Our emergency teams are working in New York City and Washington D.C.to help with local rescue efforts.
Our first priority is to get help to those who have been injured， and to take every precaution to protect our citizens at home and around the world from further attacks.
The functions of our government continue without interruption. BFederal agencies in Washington which had to be evacuated today are reopening for essential personnel tonight and will be open for business tomorrow.Our financial institutions remain strong， and the American economy will be open for business， as well.
CThis is a day when all Americans from every walk of life unite in our resolve for justice and peace. America has stood down enemies before， and we will do so this time.None of us will ever forget this day.Yet， we go forward to defend ******* and all that is good and just in our world.
Thank you. Good night and God bless America.
