Today President Bush spoke at the rededication of the Islamic Center of Washington. (Transcript)
Returning to the White House, the president met with experts to discuss how individual citizens can (and should) have the power to make their own health care decisions, not the government. He spoke about this later in the Roosevelt Room. (Transcript)
First Lady Laura Bush continued her tour of Africa, arriving in Maputo, Mozambique. There, Mrs. Bush met with President Armando Guebuza and toured US funded facilities that are fighting malaria and AIDS while helping the victims of those diseases.
Back home, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice spoke at the US-India Business Council in Washington.

Now there’s a marital vow I’m not sorry was broken! Remember that W promised Laura she wouldn’t have to give speeches? She’s an absolutely wonderful emissary for the US.
President Bush: ... we're about to get the first pitch in. And Meredith Cripe is going to give me the ball in a minute. Meredith, we're really glad you're here. Thanks for coming. It's a big day to be here to put out the first pitch on opening day, and we're glad we selected you....And now before we begin the game, and before you give me the ball, Meredith, we're going to have the Little League Pledge. Are you ready? (The pledge is recited.)
Play ball. (Applause.)
