George Bush
The Public Record
George H.W. Bush was the 41st President of the United States, serving from January 20, 1989, to January 20, 1993. A member of the Republican Party, he previously held the office of Vice President under Ronald Reagan from 1981 to 1989. Bush was a World War II veteran and served in various roles within the U.S. government, including as Director of the Central Intelligence Agency from 1976 to 1977. His presidency is noted for significant events such as the Gulf War and the fall of the Berlin Wall, as well as his efforts in foreign policy and international diplomacy.
It succeeded, in less than 24 hours, in carrying more than 14,000 Ethiopian Jews to new lives in Israel.
The years 1989 and 1990 were successful ones for the U.S. aeronautics and space programs.
And at this moment, we are considering any number of ideas to foster democratic reform, to foster economic change in the Soviet Union.
And Dick, I just can't tell you what a fantastic job, in my view, you have done.
We view that decision as a commitment to the democratic process and hope that all Ethiopian political parties and groups in Ethiopia will take advantage of this opportunity to help build a pluralistic future for their country.
We have an important role in leading and defining a new world order in which the United States and the Soviet Union continue to work cooperatively for the betterment of mankind.
I know that he's the right man to represent the United States in this fantastic period of change in the Soviet Union.
It is with great pleasure that I transmit this report on the Nation's achievements in aeronautics and space during 1989 and 1990.
This year it grew stronger, and prospects for the Falashas' departure to Israel were jeopardized.
