BERNADINE HEALY, PRESIDENT, AMERICAN RED CROSS: ... is a historic effort. And I would like to thank our president, a man of compassion, mercy, dignity and understanding, also a man whose strength and leadership has guided America through this terrible crisis, and will so for days and weeks and years to come. Please join me in, once again, welcoming President Bush to historic Red Cross Square.</s>GEORGE W. BUSH, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: Thank you all very much. Thank you. Thank you all very much. Last week, I asked America's children to send a dollar to the White House to help provide food and medicine to the children of Afghanistan. Today, I'm pleased to report that in just a few short days children all across our country have responded with remarkable generosity and deep compassion. I want to thank Dr. Healy for doing such a fine job as the president of the American Red Cross. I'm proud to be your chairman.</s>BROWN: The president at an event at the American Red Cross with Dr. Bernadine Healy -- we apologize for mispronouncing her name -- and talking about the fund-raising effort that he called on the country's kids to participate in: Earn a dollar, save a dollar and send it off to the White House, and it will get into the children of Afghanistan -- and the president holding up a number of dollars. We are mindful of the admonition: Don't get into these things with kids. They will upstage you every time. And they are adorable with their dollars and their fresh faces.
