During his swearing-in ceremony, Bush made the following comments about issues facing the commissioner's office:
“ By utilizing the Agency's platform to promote opportunity for all, we will pursue a philosophy that Lincoln called the 'right to rise.' After all, every Texan deserves every chance at a better future.
And so to provide a better education to our children, we will innovate the way the Permanent School Fund provides resources to our public schools.
To offer more economic opportunity for our workers, we will encourage responsible energy exploration on GLO land.
To extend better service to our returning heroes, we will streamline our veterans' programs and make them more efficient and effective.
And to preserve our proud heritage for generations to come, we will protect the hallowed grounds and story of the Alamo --- a story bigger than Texas … a story about the triumph of freedom over tyranny.
