PRESIDENTIAL NEWS OF THE DAY: The President and First Lady are spending the weekend at Camp David, and there are no planned public appearances. President and Mrs. Bush reported total income last year of $784,219 and paid $207,307 in federal income taxes, according to documents released by the White House on April 15, 2005. Vice President Dick Cheney and his wife Lynne reported $1.3 million in taxable income, the White House said.

THE WEEK AHEAD:

Monday, the President will go to Columbia, South Carolina, where he'll make remarks on strengthening Social Security.

Tuesday, the President will go to Springfield, Illinois, where he will tour the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum, and then make remarks at the dedication of the library and museum. Also on Tuesday, the Vice President will deliver the keynote address at the Oklahoma City National Memorial ceremony to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building there.

Wednesday, the President makes remarks to the 2005 National and State Teachers of the Year in the Rose Garden. And then he'll make remarks at the U.S.-Hispanic Chambers of Commerce Legislative Conference. Those remarks will be on energy, as I mentioned. The President will then present the Commander-in-Chief's Trophy to the United States Naval Academy football team in the East Room.

Thursday, GWB will make remarks on strengthening Social Security to the Independent Insurance Agents and Brokers of America in Washington. He'll also make remarks at the President's Environmental Youth Awards in the East Garden.

Friday, the President will participate in a service project. And then he'll make remarks on Earth Day. And both those events are in Townsend, Tennessee. Then he goes on to the ranch in Crawford, where he'll remain for the weekend.

THE FOLLOWING WEEK: On Monday the 25th, the President will meet with Crown Prince Abdullah of Saudi Arabia at the ranch. And then on Tuesday, he will go to Galveston to participate in a roundtable on strengthening Social Security. This event had been postponed because of the Pope's funeral.

QUOTE OF THE DAY: From the Presidential Radio Address, 4/16/05:

American families and small businesses across the country are feeling the pinch from rising gas prices. If you're trying to meet a family budget or a payroll, even a small change at the pump can have a big impact.

America's prosperity depends on reliable, affordable and secure sources of energy. And today our energy needs are growing faster than our domestic sources are able to provide. Demand for electricity has grown more than 17 percent in the past decade, while our transmission ability lags behind. And we continue to import more than one-half of our domestic oil supply.

Every source of power that we use today started with the power of human invention, and those sources have served us well for decades. Now it's time to apply our knowledge and technology to keep the American Dream alive in this new century. There is nothing America cannot achieve when we put our mind to it. And I urge Congress to work out its differences and pass an energy bill that will help make America safer and more prosperous for the years to come.

A historical note: On Good Friday, April 14, 1865, President Abraham Lincoln was shot at Ford's Theatre in Washington by John Wilkes Booth. He lingered for nine hours and passed away at 7:22 A.M., April 15th, 1865. Perhaps unthinkingly, or perhaps out of some bizzare sense of dedication, after ratification of the 16th Amendment to the Constitution (income tax), Congress set our annual income tax filing deadline at April 15th.

Snugs found this wonderful photo of GWB and Laura passing Beezie between them. It was March 28th, the day the puppy turned five months old. As Snugs said, it seems like our dog-loving President is beginning to make his move to take over Beezie. BTW, since most dogs reach their full height at around nine months (although they continue filling out much longer), it's beginning to seem as though Beezie might end up being quite a bit smaller than Barney. Unless she puts on a growth spurt in the next three months or so, that is.

He'll only be 62 when he leaves office. Who knows. Maybe he will take that job.

He truly enjoys baseball and does not use this as just a photo op. Great pictures, aren't they?

Oh, Beezie is beautiful! She may end up smaller than Barney, but she'll rule the roost.
