LEON HARRIS, CNN ANCHOR: We want to take you now live here at the top of the hour to Charleston, South Carolina. President Bush there making remarks.</s>GEORGE W. BUSH, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: I'm still listening. I am so honored that Tommy traveled down with me. You know, Tommy and I were fellow governors. I knew he had a good record as the governor of Wisconsin in helping move people from welfare to work, so that when I won (ph), I asked Tommy to join us as the Cabinet secretary for the Department of Health and Human Services because I know his passion for helping people in need and I know his philosophy, and so I want to thank Tommy for agreeing to leave the life he had there in Wisconsin and moving to Washington, D.C., and serving our nation with such class and such distinction. I appreciate you, Mr. Secretary.</s>HARRIS: We are going to step away from the president's remarks. As we said, he's in Charleston, South Carolina there talking about that welfare reform, and people who are out there working, and we are hoping that we would get some words from him this morning about some people who were working quite hard over the weekend to try to rescue those nine miners in southwestern Pennsylvania. He may still have something to say about that, and if he does, we will go back to the president's speech.
