Bush Presses for More Funds to
President Bush says the trip to Africa was the most exhilarating of his presidency, because America is helping a new generation of African leaders change the continent.
"They are reformers who are determined to steer their nations toward freedom and justice, prosperity and peace."
Mr. Bush reviewed the highlights of his trip with a slide show at an African-American foundation committed to self-help, social responsibility, economic empowerment, and human rights on the continent.
The president told the Leon Sullivan Foundation that Americans should feel proud of the work they are doing to encourage what he says is a new spirit of African confidence, determination, and strength.
"This is a spirit worthy of America's support. It is more powerful than any partisan quarrels here in our nation's capital. And having given our word, we must not turn back now. Congress needs to make America's commitment clear by fully and promptly funding our development programs. And presidential candidates in both parties should make clear that engagement with Africa will be an enduring priority of the United States."

“他们是决定带领他们的民族朝自由,公正,富裕与和平前进的改革者。”
布什总统在一个非洲裔美国人基金会上,通过幻灯的形式回顾了他行程中的精彩部分。该基金会致力于非洲大陆的自助、社会责任、经济授权以及人权问题。
总统对Leon Sullivan基金会说,美国人民应该为其所作的工作而感到骄傲,他们正在鼓励树立一种如总统所说的非洲信心,决心和力量的新精神。
“这是一种值得美国支持的精神,它比任何党派在我们首都争吵更有影响力。并且我们已经做出承诺,现在不能后退了。国会需要对我们的发展项目充分迅速地提供资金以使美国的承诺更加明晰。两党的总统候选人都应该明确表明援助非洲将成为美国一个长期优先考虑的事务。”
