QUOTE OF THE DAY
President Bush Signs College Cost Reduction and Access Act
Room 350
Dwight D. Eisenhower Executive Office Building

11:32 A.M. EDT

THE PRESIDENT: Thank you all. Please be seated -- unless you don't have a chair. (Laughter.) I welcome you to the White House. I have the honor of signing a bill that will help millions of low-income Americans earn a college degree. I'm really looking forward to signing this bill. I love the fact that this country is dedicated to helping people who want to realize a dream.

The bill also takes important steps to put higher education within reach for more of the men and women who wear our nation's uniform. I want to thank the Congress for answering this call. I appreciate your hard work on this piece of legislation and I'm looking forward to signing the bill
