NATALIE ALLEN, CNN ANCHOR: I'm Natalie Allen at CNN Center in Atlanta. We are going to briefly interrupt "BURDEN OF PROOF" and take you live to Sequoia National Park, where President Bush is speaking and announcing his commitment to the environment today. He has been criticized somewhat for some of his policies. But today he is promoting initiatives to spruce up this country's national parks. So we will listen in for a moment.</s>GEORGE W. BUSH, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: ... three really fine public servants: Cal Dooley, Gary Condit and George Radanovich. Thank you all so much for coming.</s>ALLEN: President Bush speaking at Sequoia National Park. The president has received controversy for some of his environmental policies. Notably, when he issued his national energy strategy, he called for an emphasis on developing additional oil sources and more coal and nuclear power. Well, he is combating that with his presence here today at the Sequoia National Park, where he says any day you can take in sights like this is a great day. And he has had great day. He reemphasized his support for his National Parks Legacy Project, which aims to spend $5 billion over five years on a heavy maintenance backlog. We will continue to follow along as the president travels. John King is traveling with the president. So keep it here for more throughout the day.
