George H.W. 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.
The United States has an enormous stake in the success of these democratic movements.
I am writing to ask your help in the common cause of furthering democracy in Nicaragua.
There's more, much more, to be done at this decisive moment in history.
I hope that at every step along the way, you encounter the warm welcome that Barbara and I enjoyed.
I ask all our guests to join me in wishing President Salih health and happiness.
The United States is and will always be committed to a lasting solution, a truly comprehensive and lasting peace.
I'm just very grateful to each and every one of you for taking the time and giving it the attention that it needs to get the problem done.
I think there are some real reasons... that we should retain relations with China.
All of us here tonight recognize President Salih as a man of extraordinary accomplishment.
