CNN) -- The text of President Bush's address Tuesday night, after terrorist

attacks on New York and Washington:
Good evening.

Today, our fellow citizens, our way of life, our very freedom came under

attack in a series of deliberate and deadly terrorist acts.
The victims were in airplanes or in their offices -- secretaries, businessmen

and women, military and federal workers. Moms and dads. Friends and

neighbors.
Thousands of lives were suddenly ended by evil, despicable acts of terror.
The pictures of airplanes flying into buildings, fires burning, huge

structures collapsing, have filled us with disbelief, terrible sadness and a

quiet, unyielding anger.
These acts of mass murder were intended to frighten our nation into chaos and

retreat. But they have failed. Our country is strong. A great people has been

moved to defend a great nation.
Terrorist attacks can shake the foundations of our biggest buildings, but

they cannot touch the foundation of America. These acts shatter steel, but

they cannot dent the steel of American resolve.
America was targeted for attack because we're the brightest beacon for

freedom and opportunity in the world. And no one will keep that light from

shining.
Today, our nation saw evil, the very worst of human nature, and we responded

with the best of America, with the daring of our rescue workers, with the

caring for strangers and neighbors who came to give blood and help in any way

they could.
Immediately following the first attack, I implemented our government's

emergency response plans. Our military is powerful, and it's prepared. Our

emergency teams are working in New York City and Washington, D.C., to help

with local rescue efforts.
Our first priority is to get help to those who have been injured and to take

every precaution to protect our citizens at home and around the world from

further attacks.
The functions of our government continue without interruption. Federal

agencies in Washington which had to be evacuated today are reopening for

essential personnel tonight and will be open for business tomorrow.
Our financial institutions remain strong, and the American economy will be

open for business as well.
The search is underway for those who are behind these evil acts. I've

directed the full resources for our intelligence and law enforcement

communities to find those responsible and bring them to justice. We will make

no distinction between the terrorists who committed these acts and those who

harbor them.
I appreciate so very much the members of Congress who have joined me in

strongly condemning these attacks. And on behalf of the American people, I

thank the many world leaders who have called to offer their condolences and

assistance.
America and our friends and allies join with all those who want peace and

security in the world and we stand together to win the war against terrorism.
Tonight I ask for your prayers for all those who grieve, for the children

whose worlds have been shattered, for all whose sense of safety and security

has been threatened. And I pray they will be comforted by a power greater

than any of us spoken through the ages in Psalm 23: "Even though I walk

through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil, for You are with

me."
This is a day when all Americans from every walk of life unite in our resolve

for justice and peace. America has stood down enemies before, and we will do

so this time.
None of us will ever forget this day, yet we go forward to defend freedom and

all that is good and just in our world.
Thank you. Good night and God bless America.
