The president has made clear -- as recently as this Tuesday -- that he was not satisfied with the federal response.

President Bush believes that we need to explore new methods of deriving new lines that would not result in embryos being destroyed. He feels that we should push the envelope of science in a way that does not cross fundamental moral and ethical lines.

The president is not going to be satisfied until they are.

The president is glad to hear that Sen. Reid is feeling fine and looks forward to working with him this fall.
