THE PRESIDENT: Thank you all very much.Thank you, all.I am glad to be back in the great state of South Carolina.(Applause.)I appreciate you all coming out.I'm so honored to have been invited to one of America's great cities, Charleston, South Carolina.(Applause.)

This is one of the busiest container ports in our country.It's an important hub of commerce.And we will work to make sure that not only is the port strong for economic reasons, we will make sure that the port defends the people, is ready to defend against the threats of a new era;that this port is secure and safe--for not only the people of South Carolina, but for the people of the great United States of America.(Applause.)

I appreciate my friend, Tom Ridge, for becoming the first Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security.He's got a big job, and he's doing it well.(Applause.)

I want to thank Governor Mark Sanford for greeting me at the airport and for driving with me to the Port of Charleston.Mark is doing a great job for the people of South Carolina.(Applause.)I know that the Lieutenant Governor is with us today, Lieutenant Governor Andre Bauer.I appreciate you coming, Andre.I flew down on Air Force One with some of the members of the mighty South Carolina congreional delegation, starting with Senator Lindsey Graham.(Applause.)He was telling me what to do during the entire flight.(Laughter.)I appreciate so very much Congreman Jim DeMint, Congreman Joe Wilson, Congreman Gresham Barrett, and the Congreman from this district, Henry Brown, for joining us, as well.(Applause.)These are good, honorable citizens;they're working hard in Washington, D.C.on behalf of the people of South Carolina.I'm proud to call them friend, I'm proud to work with them for the good of the country.I appreciate the Mayor, Joe Riley, being here today.Mr.Mayor, thank you for coming.You're the Mayor of a great city.(Applause.)Last time I saw the Mayor he said, need I remind you that your mother was educated in this great city.(Laughter.)No, you didn't need to remind me, Mr.Mayor--she reminds me all the time.(Laughter.)

I appreciate my friend, Speaker David Wilkins, who has joined us.All the members of the Statehouse who are here, thanks for coming, state and local officials.I want to thank the members of the--oh, of course, my friend, the Adjutant

General, Stan Spears, is with us today.General, it's good to see you again.I appreciate Commander Gary Merrick, Captain Jim Tunstall of the mighty Coast Guard.I appreciate their service here and I want to thank the members of the Coast Guard who are with us.(Applause.)I'm proud of the men and women of our Coast Guard, who are always ready, always ready to protect the American people.I want to thank the members of the Air Force 437th Airlift Wing who are with us today.(Applause.)I appreciate the members of the United States Navy who are with us today.(Applause.)I thank the cadets from the Citadel who have joined us today.(Applause.)I want to thank the employees of the Department of Homeland Security.(Applause.)Thank you for your work.Thank you for your dedication.Thank you for what you're doing to make this part of the world as safe and secure as you can.I want to thank South Carolina's state and local first responders who are with us, the police and the fire fighters and the emergency squad personnel.(Applause.)

But most of all, thank you for coming.I've got some things I want to talk about.(Laughter.)This country is a strong country, and we're rising to meet great challenges.The first great challenge is to make sure people can find work.The first great challenge of this country is to have a pro-growth environment so people can find a job.Our economy is growing, it's getting better.But I want to remind you of where we have come from.People say, President Bush is optimistic.You bet I'm optimistic.I know where we have been and I know where we're going.We have--this country went through a receion.And as we were coming out of the receion, we got attacked.And make no mistake about it, that attack hurt our country's economy.It also--you'll hear me talk about how it affected my view of national security, as well.It hurt.And as we began to recover from that, we discovered that some of our fellow citizens forgot what it meant to be a responsible citizen.In other words, they didn't tell the truth.They didn't tell the truth to their employees, and they didn't tell the truth to their shareholders.And that affected the confidence of our economy.By the way, we paed laws to hold those corporate criminals to account.They will understand now that there is a consequence for not telling the truth.(Applause.)

And then, of course, there were the uncertainties of war.That affected the economy.Yet we're still strong, in spite of the hurdles.And one reason we're strong is because we acted in Washington, D.C.We paed tax relief.You see, we understand that when somebody has got more money in their pocket, they're

more likely to demand a good or a service.And when they demand that good or a service, somebody is more likely to produce the good or a service.And when somebody produces that good or a service, someone is more likely to be able to find work.The tax relief we paed, the willingne to have--people have more money in their pocket to spend, to save, or invest, is helping this economy recover from tough times.(Applause.)

We also understand that most new jobs are created by small businees.Most new jobs in the American economy are created by the entrepreneurs and small busine owners of America.And so the tax relief we paed not only helped individuals and helped families raise children, but it was also directed at the small busine sector of our economy.We must never forget the vital role that small businees play in the United States economy.Things are looking good acro the country.New home construction in 2003 was the highest in 25 years.Home ownership rates are the highest ever.And for the first time, most minority households own their own homes.We're closing the housing gap in America.(Applause.)

Manufacturing activity is increasing, inflation is low, interest rates are low, exports are growing, productivity is high, jobs are on the rise.The tax relief we paed has made a difference.(Applause.)

One of the things I know about your great state--I've spent some quality time in South Carolina in the past--one of the things I know about your great state is this is a state full of decent, hard working, honorable people.You've got a great work force in the state of South Carolina.Many foreign companies and companies from other states move here because South Carolina workers are dependable, good people.Yet, the state has got economic challenges.Even though the unemployment rate is down, it's still too high.Many factory workers in textile and apparel have faced layoffs.But there are new jobs being created, and the challenge at all levels of government is to make sure that people are trained for jobs which actually exist.I laid out what's called the Jobs for the 21st Century program, which says to states and local communities, we want to help you, we want to help you make sure the hard working people who are looking for work have got the skills neceary to take advantage of a changing economy.The numbers aren't as good as they can be, but they will be with focused efforts;they will be so long as Washington promotes a pro-entrepreneur, pro-growth agenda;they will be if the Congre makes sure the tax cuts we paed are permanent.(Applause.)

I'm optimistic about our economy's future because the numbers look good.But that's not the true reason I'm optimistic.I'm optimistic because I understand the entrepreneurial spirit of America.I'm optimistic because I know the type of worker we have in this country.I'm optimistic because I trust the American people.(Applause.)

The second great challenge is to fight and win the war on terror.(Applause.)After we were attacked in 2001, I said time would pa and people would aume that the threats to our country had gone away.That's false comfort.The terrorists continue to plot against us.They still want to harm us.This nation will not tire, we will not rest until this threat to civilization is removed.(Applause.)

Part of doing our duty in the war on terror is to protect the homeland.That's part of our solemn responsibility.And we are taking unprecedented steps to protect the homeland.In the 2005 budget, as the Secretary mentioned, we proposed increases in homeland security spending.And some of those increases are measures to protect our seaports.And that's why I've come to this vital seaport, to remind people--to remind the American people, as they pay attention to the debates in the halls of Congre, that we have a solemn duty to protect our homeland, including the seaports of America.Our National Targeting Center in Northern Virginia, where I'll be going tomorrow with the Secretary, is analyzing cargo manifest information, and focusing front-line inspection on high-risk shipments.We're looking at things differently now in America.We're adjusting our strategies to better protect the American people.We've got a Container Security Initiative, which means we're posting officers at foreign ports to identify and inspect high-risk shipments before they're loaded and shipped to America.We've extended the reach-out to make sure America is more secure.We're doing things more wise in order to protect our country.We're not waiting for ships and planes to arrive;we've got what we call a Proliferation Security Initiative--fancy words which means America is working with other governments to track and stop the shipments of dangerous weapons and dangerous cargo.(Applause.)We're determined to keep lethal weapons and materials out of the hands of our enemies and away from our shores.We have a duty to protect the American people, a solemn duty.And there's a lot of people in this crowd who have heard that duty, and I appreciate your service.I appreciate your willingne to sacrifice on behalf of the people.(Applause.)

Another vital tool in the homeland security is for Congre to pa laws that enable us to do our job.I'm referring to the Patriot Act.The Patriot Act gives

federal law enforcement the tools they need to seize terrorists' aets and disrupt their cells.(Applause.)It removes--the Patriot Act removed legal barriers that prevented the FBI and the CIA from sharing information, information that is vitally needed to uncover terrorist plots before they are carried out in America.Imagine a system that would not allow people to collect information to share information.It makes it awfully hard to protect the homeland if the FBI and the CIA can't share data in order to protect us.The Patriot Act made that poible.The Patriot Act imposes tougher penalties on terrorists and their supporters.We want to send a clear meage to people, that there will be a consequence.For years we've used similar provisions, provisions that are now in the act, to catch embezzlers and drug traffickers.What's in the Patriot Act today is nothing new;we've been using these provisions in the past.If the methods are good enough for hunting criminals, they're even more important for hunting terrorists.The Congre needs to extend the Patriot Act.(Applause.)

We'll do everything in our power to defend the homeland.Yet, we understand this, that the best way to defend the homeland is to stay on the offensive.The best way to protect America is to find the killers and bring them to justice before they ever harm another American--and that's exactly what this administration will continue to do.(Applause.)
