Cathie Martin, Deputy Assistant to the President for Communications

I am pleased to be with you this afternoon to answer your questions about the President's proposals for strengthening Social Security and offering voluntary personal accounts for younger workers. As you may know, Social Security is sound for today's seniors, but it faces financial problems that will lead to bankruptcy if we fail to act. I hope that my responses are helpful in explaining how the President proposal would strengthen and save Social Security for future generations.

Samuel Bodman, Energy Secretary

First, let me say that the President’s comprehensive energy policy focuses heavily on conservation, technology and greater overall efficiency, as well as the development of renewable and alternative fuel sources. These are important parts of our overall strategy, and it’s important the Congress act to get comprehensive energy legislation to the President this year.

John Snow, Treasury Secretary

Hello, everyone, and welcome to Ask the White House. I know that Tax Day isn't anyone's favorite day of the year, but I'm awfully glad to be spending part of it with you, answering your questions on taxes and Social Security. Every American who pays taxes is paying a lower Federal tax bill today than they did before President Bush's tax cuts were enacted, so I hope that you find this April 15th had significantly less sting than some tax days you may remember. My great hope, and the great hope of our President, is that Congress will make those cuts permanent so that you can count on less painful tax days for years to come.
