Bush visited the National Archives to see some of the nation's most treasured historical documents - including George Washington's inaugural speech and the United States Constitution. Afterwards, asked by a reporter if he feels the history of the moment, Bush replied, "Absolutely." As a light snow fell across Washington on Wednesday, security measures started to take effect. Streets were closed and high-visibility police patrols commenced in the downtown area. As part of the increased security, over 20 transportation security officers from across the nation joined forces with the D.C. Metro Transit Police to protect the subway system serving the nation's capital and its suburbs. Officers and bomb-sniffing dogs from airports in Atlanta, Boston, Dallas, Milwaukee and St. Louis all made the trip to the nation's capital. With massive street closures in the centre of the city, officials are urging visitors to use the Metro subway system. At both ends of the Inauguration parade route - the Capitol Building and the White House - workers continued to apply finishing touches.
