WNYC - New York Public Radio

NEW YORK, NY - Fighting terrorism and fighting illiteracy, the agenda of President Bush and
First Lady Laura Bush merged today at an event at the New York Public Library.

REPORTER: Speaking at the White House conference on Global Literacy, the president says
nations will never defeat terrorism unless their citizens can read.

BUSH: Good trade agreements and tearing down the barriers that prevent people from free
flow of goods will help enhance prosperity, but you can't be a prosperous nation if you
don't have people who can read.
