QUOTE: "You're serving as young stewards of the environment, which means you're setting a good example for what it means to be a citizen. It's like what we call citizenship in action. And you're helping make America a wonderful place. And so we're really glad you're here. I'm glad to be a part of the award ceremony."

File photo history related to today's visit with Hu: "Bush, center, and first lady Laura Bush, right, are pictured with Evangelist Luis Palau, left, Rev. Yu Xin Li, second left, Rev. Du Fengying, second right, after attending morning services at Gangwashi Church in Beijing Sunday, in this Nov. 20, 2005 file photo. China's limits on religion are sure to come up at Chinese President Hu Jintao's summit with U.S. President George W. Bush at the White House Thursday. Bush, a devout Christian, raised the issue with Hu in Beijing in November, telling reporters afterwards: 'A society which recognizes religious freedom is a society which will recognize political freedom as well.'"
