The president addressed an audience in Silver Spring, MD, on the benefits of Medicare prescription drug benefit.

Members of Congress met with Bush on his upcoming legislative agenda. Many of the major stock indexes have hit 5 year highs; the Dow Jones 30, the SP 500 included.

Bush attended the Hungarian Celebration of Contributions to Democracy, marking the 50th year since the Hungarian revolution.

WELCOME TO SANITY ISLAND!

QUOTE: The new Medicare bill does something different: it says there is a prescription drug benefit available for all Americans, special help for the lower-income Americans, that seniors have also got the opportunity to make a choice to design a health care plan that best suits their needs.

At the Hungarian gathering: "The Hungarian example is an example of patience, and an example of the fact that freedom exists in everybody's soul. It's an example that tyranny can never stamp out the desire to be free. It's an example that -- of a country that, once becomes free, joins with other freedom-loving countries to keep the peace."
