“I thank my colleague from North Carolina for yielding and for the opportunity to speak about a great American hero and a wonderful family, a class act. I was privileged to serve under the great leadership of George W. Bush as Governor of the Lone Star State and then President of this great country. No doubt his parents, their character, their patriotism, and love for their fellow man did not fall too far from the tree, as we say in Texas. I rise in support of the President George H.W. Bush and First Spouse Barbara Bush Coin Act sponsored by friend and fellow Texan, Senator John Cornyn. George Herbert Walker Bush and his wife First Lady Barbara Bush were exemplars of leadership and service to the country and an almost perfect picture of a devoted and loving marriage. If there is a perfect marriage, they certainly seemed to have it. I think, Madam Speaker, it is right and good to honor and commemorate the most noble and accomplished leaders and public servants, and no doubt, at the top of that list is George Herbert Walker Bush and his wife Barbara Bush, and I am grateful for the opportunity to honor the legacy of President and First Lady Bush by supporting the issuance of these coins. Mr. McHENRY. Madam Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume. Madam Speaker, in writing about George H.W. Bush it was said duty was duty. In 1975, there is this move in the administration to shuttle off George H.W. Bush to a nondescript position.…”
