I doubt when he dressed this morning he was expecting to appear on a nationwide broadcast -- it's likely he hasn't even considered what he is wearing -- these people have to be in complete shock

President notified immediately and he promised NASA all the help they needed. Tom Ridge is involved in helping...Just to be accurate, prez notified immediately after scheduled landing time at 9:16 EST. Probably waited on the off chance it was simply a loss of comm (my speculation).
To: Az Joe
Giving heartfelt praise for the crew.
