    Remarks on the Terrorist Attacks in London From Auchterarder, Scotland
    July 7, 2005

        I spent some time recently with the Prime Minister, Tony
    Blair, and had an opportunity to express our
    heartfelt condolences to the people of London, people who lost lives. I
    appreciate Prime Minister Blair's steadfast determination and his
    strength. He's on his way now to London here from the G-8 to speak
    directly to the people of London. He'll carry a message of solidarity
    with him.
        This morning I have been in contact with our Homeland Security
    folks. I instructed them to be in touch with local and State officials
    about the facts of what took place here and in London and to be extra
    vigilant as our folks start heading to work.

        The contrast between what we've seen on the TV screens here, what's
    taken place in London and what's taking place here, is incredibly vivid
    to me. On the one hand, we have people here who are working to alleviate
    poverty, to help rid the world of the pandemic of AIDS, working on ways
    to have a clean environment, and on the other hand, you've got people
    killing innocent people. And the contrast couldn't be clearer between
    the intentions and the hearts of those of us who care deeply about human
    rights and human liberty, and those who kill--those who have got such
    evil in their heart that they will take the lives of innocent folks.
        The war on terror goes on. I was most impressed by the resolve of
    all the leaders in the room. Their resolve is as strong as my resolve,
    and that is we will not yield to these people, will not yield to the
    terrorists. We will find them. We will bring them to justice, and at the
    same time, we will spread an ideology of hope and compassion that will
    overwhelm their ideology of hate.
        Thank you very much.

    Note: The President spoke at 1:30 p.m. at the Gleneagles Hotel. In his
    remarks, he referred to Prime Minister Tony Blair of the United Kingdom.
    The Office of the Press Secretary also released a Spanish language
    transcript of these remarks.
