Graceland was honored to welcome two world
leaders to Elvis' home today. US President George
Bush and Japanese Prime Minister
Junichiro
Koizumi toured Graceland
in a historic visit. Priscilla and Lisa Marie
Presley greeted the two leaders along with First
Lady Laura Bush upon their arrival.
President Bush said of his visit, 'First of
all, my presence here shows it's never too late
to come to Graceland. Laura and I are -- we've
known Elvis Presley since we were growing up.
He's obviously a major part of our music history.
He had an international reputation. His reputation
was so strong that he attracted the attention
of the now Prime Minister of Japan'.
