Soon to be the 43rd president, Republican George W. Bush turned Wednesday to the twin challenges of constructing a government and uniting a nation divided. Al Gore made a long-awaited congratulations call to his Republican rival as he scripted his exit from the tortuously close race.
Gore called Bush shortly before a televised national speech and offered his congratulations, Bush spokeswoman Karen Hughes said. "The governor thanked him and the governor said I look forward to seeing you next Tuesday," Hughes said.
