Welcome to "Ask the White House" -- an online interactive forum where you can submit questions to Bush administration officials.

Since its launch in April, citizens have interacted with Cabinet Secretaries, Senior White House Officials and behind-the-scenes professionals at the White House.

Transcripts of every live chat session are available on this page. And we look forward to hosting more Ask the White House online discussions soon. If you would like to suggest a participant to appear on Ask the White House, click here.

Tomorrow's Guest: Dr. Jendayi Frazer Senior Director for African Affairs at the National Security Council
