Bush To Increase Funding For Hope-Based Initiatives
`President Bush announced today that he will sign a bill providing an additional $2.8 billion for private organizations that emphasize the importance of hoping for change.
“This bill acknowledges the immeasurable role of hope in envisioning a better world for everyone,” Bush said during a press conference. “Starting today, I ask all Americans to hope together as one nation that the difficult problems that grip our nation will go away someday.”
The president’s move will help direct federal funds to such groups as the National Hope Foundation, which has been hoping for a cure for cancer for nearly two decades.’
