The United States is facing a great national challenge to "hunt down the terrorists and strengthen our protections against future attacks," President George W. Bush said in remarks prepared for a prime time speech on Thursday night.
"I came to Atlanta today to talk about an all-important question: How should we live in light of what has happened?" Bush said in excerpts released by the White House of the speech he was to deliver from Atlanta.
"Our great national opportunity is to preserve the good that has resulted," he said.
The White House said Bush planned to give Americans a progress report on the war on terrorism and address the concerns of Americans over anthrax.
He is also expected to reflect on how Americans have responded to the September 11 crisis and outline the actions the federal government is taking to strengthen national security.
White House officials consider the speech, which was made nearly two months after the September 11 attacks, to be Bush's most crucial address since he went before a joint session of Congress on September 20 to declare his war aims.
