JULY 2002

President George W. Bush discusses the compassionate conservative agenda for inner cities at Playhouse Square Center in Cleveland, Ohio, Monday, July 1, 2002. "It is conservative to promote private property, and ownership of homes," said the President. "It is compassionate to understand there is an ownership gap in America, and we must use our resources to close that ownership gap by encouraging minority ownership of homes in America."
