Political Quotes

“I am pleased to add my enthusiastic support to H.R. 3821, which would name the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) Headquarters in Langley, Virginia after our 41st President, George Herbert Walker Bush. I can think of no one today who is more deserving of this honor than this man of courage, who has such a long and distinguished record of service to our nation and the cause of freedom. George Bush definitely represents the principles of dignity and character that we have always prized in our statesmen. From his service as a teenage pilot during World War II to his administration as President, he has always dedicated his life to God, family and country. Among the roles he served in during his remarkable career, George Bush should be especially proud of his record as Director of the CIA from 1976 to 1977. This was a critical time for this key agency which he helped rebuild after a major Congressional investigation. His determined leadership helped restore the morale of the CIA at a crucial turning point in the Cold War. This spade work for our nation's defense helped pave the way for the triumph of freedom over communism during his service as Vice President under President Ronald Reagan and his service as President. This is definitely a fitting tribute for the only President who served as Director of the CIA.”
