Profile

Brothers and Sisters! As below the data in respect of profile of George Herbert Walker Bush former President of USA, has been derived from Google Network.

·                 George Herbert Walker Bush^[a] (June 12, 1924 – November 30, 2018) was an American politician, diplomat, and businessman who served as the 41st president of the United States from 1989 to 1993.

·                  A member of the Republican Party, he also served as the 43rd vice president from 1981 to 1989 under Ronald Reagan and previously in various other federal positions.^[2]

·                 Born into a wealthy, established family in Milton, Massachusetts,

·                 Bush was raised in Greenwich, Connecticut.

·                 He attended Phillips Academy and served as a pilot in the United States Navy Reserve during World War II before graduating from Yale and moving to West Texas, where he established a successful oil company.

·                 Following an unsuccessful run for the United States Senate in 1964, he was elected to represent Texas’s 7th congressional district in 1966.

·                 President Richard Nixon appointed Bush as the ambassador to the United Nations in 1971 and as chairman of the Republican National Committee in 1973.

·                 President Gerald Ford appointed him as the chief of the Liaison Office to the People’s Republic of China in 1974 and as the director of Central Intelligence in 1976.

·                 Bush ran for president in 1980 but was defeated in the Republican presidential primaries by Reagan, who then selected Bush as his vice presidential running mate.

·                 In the 1988 presidential election, Bush defeated Democrat Michael Dukakis.

·                 Foreign policy drove Bush’s presidency as he navigated the final years of the Cold War and played a key role in the reunification of Germany.

·                 He presided over the invasion of Panama and the Gulf War, ending the Iraqi occupation of Kuwait in the latter conflict.

·                 He also appointed David Souter and Clarence Thomas to the Supreme Court.

·                 Bush lost the 1992 presidential election to Democrat Bill Clinton following an economic recession,

·                 his turnaround on his tax promise, and

·                 the decreased emphasis of foreign policy in a post–Cold War political climate.^[3]

·                 After leaving office in 1993, Bush was active in humanitarian activities, often working alongside Clinton.

Early Life and Education (1924–1948)

·                 The Bush family moved to Greenwich, Connecticut, in 1925, and Prescott took a position with W. A. Harriman & Co., which later merged into Brown Brothers Harriman & Co. the following year.^[9] Bush spent most of his childhood in Greenwich, at the family vacation home in Kennebunkport, Maine,^[b] or at his maternal grandparents’ plantation in South Carolina.^[11]

·                 Because of the family’s wealth, Bush was largely unaffected by the Great Depression.^[12]

·                 He attended Greenwich Country Day School from 1929 to 1937 and Phillips Academy, an elite private academy in Massachusetts, from 1937 to 1942.^[13]

·                 While at Phillips Academy, he served as president of the senior class, secretary of the student council, president of the community fund-raising group, a member of the editorial board of the school newspaper, and captain of the varsity baseball and soccer teams.^[14]

World War II

·                 Bush in his Grumman TBM Avenger aboard the USS San Jacinto in 1944, during World War II.

·                 On his 18th birthday, immediately after graduating from Phillips Academy, he enlisted in the United States Navy as a naval aviator.^[15]

·                 After a period of training, he was commissioned as an ensign in the Naval Reserve at Naval Air Station Corpus Christi on June 9, 1943, becoming one of the youngest pilots in the Navy.^[16][c]

·                 Beginning in 1944, Bush served in the Pacific theatre, where he flew a Grumman TBM Avenger, a torpedo bomber capable of taking off from aircraft carriers.^[21] His squadron was assigned to the USS San Jacinto as a member of Air Group 51, where his lanky physique earned him the nickname “Skin”.^[22]

·                 Bush flew his first combat mission in May 1944, bombing Japanese-held Wake Island,^[23] and was promoted to lieutenant (junior grade) on August 1, 1944.

Marriage

·                 Bush met Barbara Pierce at a Christmas dance in Greenwich in December 1941,^[31] and, after a period of courtship, they became engaged in December 1943.^[32]

·                 While Bush was on leave from the Navy, they married in Rye, New York, on January 6, 1945.^[33]

College Years

·                 Bush enrolled at Yale College, where he took part in an accelerated program that enabled him to graduate in two and a half years rather than the usual four.^[15]

·                 He was a member of the Delta Kappa Epsilon fraternity and was elected its president.^[39]

·                 He also captained the Yale baseball team and played in the first two College World Series as a left-handed first baseman.^[40]

Business Career (1948–1963)

·                 After graduating from Yale, Bush moved his young family to West Texas.

·                 Biographer Jon Meacham writes that Bush’s relocation to Texas allowed him to move out of the “daily shadow of his Wall Street father and Grandfather Walker, two dominant figures in the financial world,” but would still allow Bush to “call on their connections if he needed to raise capital.”^[43]

·                 His first position in Texas was an oil field equipment salesman ^[44] for Dresser Industries, which was led by family friend Neil Mallon.^[45]

·                 In 1952, he volunteered for the successful presidential campaign of Republican candidate Dwight D. Eisenhower.

·                 That same year, his father won election to represent Connecticut in the United States Senate as a member of the Republican Party.^[47]

·                  With support from Mallon and Bush’s uncle, George Herbert Walker Jr., Bush and John Overbey launched the Bush-Overbey Oil Development Company in 1951.^[48]

·                 In 1953, he co-founded the Zapata Petroleum Corporation, an oil company that drilled in the Permian Basin in Texas.^[49]

·                 In 1954, he was named president of the Zapata Offshore Company, a subsidiary which specialized in offshore drilling.^[50]

·                 Shortly after the subsidiary became independent in 1959, Bush moved the company and his family from Midland to Houston.^[51]

·                 There, he befriended James Baker, a prominent attorney who later became an important political ally.^[52] Bush remained involved with Zapata until the mid-1960s, when he sold his stock in the company for approximately $1 million.^[53]

EARLY POLITICAL CAREER (1963–1971)

Entry into politics

·                 Former president Dwight D. Eisenhower with Bush

·                 By the early 1960s, Bush was widely regarded as an appealing political candidate, and some leading Democrats attempted to convince Bush to become a Democrat. He declined to leave the Republican Party.

·                 In 1964, Bush won the Republican primary by defeating former gubernatorial nominee Jack Cox in a run-off election.

·                 In the general election, Bush attacked Yarborough’s vote for the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which banned racial and gender discrimination in public institutions and many privately owned businesses.

U.S. House of Representatives

·                 In 1966, Bush ran for the United States House of Representatives in Texas’s 7th congressional district, a newly redistricted seat in the Greater Houston area.

·                 He ultimately won the race with 57 percent of the vote.^[60]

Nixon and Ford Administrations (1971–1977)

Ambassador to the United Nations

·                 After the 1970 Senate election, Bush accepted a position as a senior adviser to the president, but he convinced Nixon to instead appoint him as the U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations.^[70]

Chairman of the Republican National Committee

·                 After Nixon won a landslide victory in the 1972 presidential election, he appointed Bush as chair of the Republican National Committee (RNC).^[77][78]

·                 In that position, he was charged with fundraising, candidate recruitment, and making appearances on behalf of the party in the media.

·                  When Agnew was being investigated for corruption, Bush assisted, at the request of Nixon.

·                 During Bush’s tenure at the RNC, the Watergate scandal emerged into public view; the scandal originated from the June 1972 break-in of the Democratic National Committee but also involved later efforts to cover up the break-in by Nixon and other members of the White House.^[80] Bush initially defended Nixon steadfastly, but as Nixon’s complicity became clear he focused more on defending the Republican Party.^[62]

·                 Following the resignation of Vice President Agnew in 1973 for a scandal unrelated to Watergate, Bush was considered for the position of vice president, but the appointment instead went to Gerald Ford.^[81]

Head of U.S. Liaison Office in China

·                 Bush accepted appointment as Chief of the U.S. Liaison Office in the People’s Republic of China, making him the de facto ambassador to China.^[85]

Director of Central Intelligence

·                 In January 1976, Ford brought Bush back to Washington to become the Director of Central Intelligence (DCI), placing him in charge of the CIA.^[87]

1980 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION

Presidential Campaign

·                 Bush’s tenure at the CIA ended after Carter narrowly defeated Ford in the 1976 presidential election.

·                 Out of public office for the first time since the 1960s, Bush became chairman on the executive committee of the First International Bank in Houston.^[93]

·                 He also spent a year as a part-time professor of Administrative Science at Rice University’s Jones School of Business,^[94] continued his membership in the Council on Foreign Relations, and joined the Trilateral Commission.

·                 Meanwhile, he began to lay the groundwork for his candidacy in the 1980 Republican Party presidential primaries.^[95]

·                 In the 1980 Republican primary campaign, Bush faced Ronald Reagan, who was widely regarded as the front-runner, as well as other contenders like Senator Bob Dole, Senator Howard Baker, Texas Governor John Connally, Congressman Phil Crane, and Congressman John B. Anderson.^[96]

Vice Presidential Campaign

·                 The Reagan–Bush ticket won the 1980 presidential election with 50.7% of the popular vote and a large majority of the electoral vote.

·                 After Reagan clinched a majority of delegates in late May, Bush reluctantly dropped out of the race.^[107]

·                 At the 1980 Republican National Convention, Reagan made the last-minute decision to select Bush as his vice presidential nominee.

Vice Presidency (1981–1989)

·                 As vice president, Bush generally maintained a low profile, recognizing the constitutional limits of the office; he avoided decision-making or criticizing Reagan in any way.

·                 This approach helped him earn Reagan’s trust, easing tensions left over from their earlier rivalry.^[101]

·                 Bush also generally enjoyed a good relationship with Reagan staffers. 

First Term

·                 On March 30, 1981, while Bush was in Texas, Reagan was shot and seriously wounded by John Hinckley Jr.

·                 Bush immediately flew back to Washington D.C.

·                 Reagan assigned Bush to chair two special task forces, one on de – regulation and one on international drug smuggling.

·                 Reagan’s approval ratings fell after his first year in office, but they bounced back when the United States began to emerge from recession in 1983.^[121]

Second Term

·                 Mikhail Gorbachev came to power in the Soviet Union in 1985. Rejecting the ideological rigidity of his three elderly sick predecessors, Gorbachev insisted on urgently needed economic and political reforms called “glasnost” (openness) and “perestroika” (restructuring).^[125]

·                 At the 1987 Washington Summit, Gorbachev and Reagan signed the Intermediate – Range Nuclear Forces Treaty, which committed both signatories to the total abolition of their respective short-range and medium-range missile stockpiles.^[126]

1988 Presidential Election

·                 Bush defeated Dukakis by a margin of 426 to 111 in the Electoral College, and he took 53.4 percent of the national popular vote.^[152]

Presidency (1989–1993)

·                 Bush was inaugurated on January 20, 1989, succeeding Reagan. In his inaugural address, Bush said:

·                 I come before you and assume the Presidency at a moment rich with promise. We live in a peaceful, prosperous time, but we can make it better.

·                 For a new breeze is blowing, and a world refreshed by freedom seems reborn; for in man’s heart, if not in fact, the day of the dictator is over.

·                 The totalitarian era is passing, its old ideas blown away like leaves from an ancient, lifeless tree. A new breeze is blowing, and a nation refreshed by freedom stands ready to push on. There is new ground to be broken, and new action to be taken.^[156]

Foreign Affairs

End of the Cold War

·                 During the first year of his tenure, Bush paused Reagan’s détente policy toward the Soviet Union.^[162]

Gulf War

·                 Faced with massive debts and low oil prices in the aftermath of the Iran–Iraq War, Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein decided to conquer the country of Kuwait, a small, oil-rich country situated on Iraq’s southern border.^[182]

·                 After Iraq invaded Kuwait in August 1990, Bush imposed economic sanctions on Iraq and assembled a multi-national coalition opposed to the invasion.^[183]

·                 Some in the administration feared that a failure to respond to the invasion would embolden Hussein to attack Saudi Arabia or Israel.^[184]

·                 Robert Gates attempted to convince Brent Scowcroft that Bush should tone down the rhetoric but Bush insisted it was his primary concern to discourage other countries from “unanswered aggression”.^[185]

·                 Bush also wanted to ensure continued access to oil, as Iraq and Kuwait collectively accounted for 20 percent of the world’s oil production, and Saudi Arabia produced another 26 percent of the world’s oil supply.^[186]

·                 After the January 15 deadline passed without an Iraqi withdrawal from Kuwait, U.S. and coalition forces conducted a bombing campaign that devastated Iraq’s power grid and communications network and resulted in the desertion of about 100,000 Iraqi soldiers.

·                 In retaliation, Iraq launched Scud missiles at Israel and Saudi Arabia, but most missiles did little damage.

·                 On February 23, coalition forces began a ground invasion into Kuwait, evicting Iraqi forces by the end of February 27.

·                 About 300 Americans and approximately 65 soldiers from other coalition nations died during the military action.^[192]

·                 A ceasefire was arranged on March 3, and the United Nations passed a resolution establishing a peacekeeping force in a demilitarized zone between Kuwait and Iraq.^[193]

·                 A March 1991 Gallup poll showed that Bush had an approval rating of 89 percent, the highest presidential approval rating in the history of Gallup polling.^[194]

·                 After 1991, the United Nations maintained economic sanctions against Iraq, and the United Nations Special Commission was assigned to ensure that Iraq did not revive its weapons of mass destruction program.^[195]

NAFTA

·                 In 1987, the U.S. and Canada reached a free trade agreement that eliminated many tariffs between the two countries.

·                 President Reagan had intended it as the first step towards a larger trade agreement to eliminate most tariffs among the United States, Canada, and Mexico.^[196]

DOMESTIC AFFAIRS

Economy and Fiscal Issues

·                 The U.S. economy had generally performed well since emerging from recession in late 1982, but it slipped into a mild recession in 1990.

·                 The unemployment rate rose from 5.9 percent in 1989 to a high of 7.8 percent in mid-1991.^[201][202]

·                 Large federal deficits, spawned during the Reagan years, rose from $152.1 billion in 1989^[203] to $220 billion for 1990;^[204]

·                 the $220 billion deficit represented a threefold increase since 1980.^[205]

·                 Bush’s top domestic priority was to end federal budget deficits, which he saw as a liability for the country’s long-term economic health and standing in the world.^[207]

·                 As he was opposed to major defense spending cuts^[208] and had pledged not to raise taxes, the president had major difficulties in balancing the budget.^[209]

Discrimination

·                 “Even the strongest person couldn’t scale the Berlin Wall to gain the elusive promise of independence that lay just beyond. And so, together we rejoiced when that barrier fell. And now I sign legislation which takes a sledgehammer to another wall, one which has for too many generations separated Americans with disabilities from the freedom they could glimpse, but not grasp.”

—Bush’s remarks at the signing ceremony for the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990^[217]

·                 The disabled had not received legal protections under the landmark Civil Rights Act of 1964, and many faced discrimination and segregation by the time Bush took office.

·                 In 1988, Lowell P. Weicker Jr. and Tony Coelho introduced the Americans with Disabilities Act, which barred employment discrimination against qualified individuals with disabilities.

·                 The bill had passed the Senate but not the House and was reintroduced in 1989.

·                 Though some conservatives opposed the bill due to its costs and potential burdens on businesses, Bush strongly supported it, partly because his son, Neil, had struggled with dyslexia.

·                  After the bill passed both houses of Congress, Bush signed the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 into law in July 1990.^[218]

·                 The act required employers and public accommodations to make “reasonable accommodations” for disabled people while providing an exception when such accommodations imposed an “undue hardship”.^[219]

Environment

·                 In June 1989, the Bush administration proposed a bill to amend the Clean Air Act.

Points of Light

·                 Bush devoted attention to voluntary service to solve some of America’s most serious social problems. He often used the “thousand points of light” theme to describe the power of citizens to solve community problems. In his 1989 inaugural address, Bush said, “I have spoken of a thousand points of light, of all the community organizations that are spread like stars throughout the Nation, doing good.”^[230]

·                 During his presidency, Bush honoured numerous volunteers with the Daily Point of Light Award, a tradition that his presidential successors continued.^[231]

·                 In 1990, the Points of Light Foundation was created as a non – profit organization in Washington to promote this spirit of volunteerism.^[232]

·                 In 2007, the Points of Light Foundation merged with the Hands on Network to create a new organization, Points of Light.^[233]

Judicial Appointments

·                 Bush appointed Clarence Thomas to the Supreme Court in 1991.

·                 Bush appointed two justices to the Supreme Court of the United States.

·                 In 1990, Bush appointed a largely unknown state appellate judge, David Souter, to replace liberal icon William J. Brennan Jr.^[234]

·                 Souter was easily confirmed and served until 2009, but joined the liberal bloc of the court, disappointing Bush.^[234]

·                 In 1991, Bush nominated conservative federal judge Clarence Thomas to succeed Thurgood Marshall, a long-time liberal stalwart.

·                 Thomas, the former head of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), faced heavy opposition in the Senate, as well as from pro-choice groups and the NAACP.

·                 His nomination faced another difficulty when Anita Hill accused Thomas of having sexually harassed her during his time as the chair of EEOC.

·                 Thomas won confirmation in a narrow 52–48 vote; 43 Republicans and 9 Democrats voted to confirm Thomas’s nomination, while 46 Democrats and 2 Republicans voted against confirmation.^[235] Thomas became one of the most conservative justices of his era.^[236]

Other issues

·                 Bush’s education platform consisted mainly of offering federal support for a variety of innovations, such as open enrollment, incentive pay for outstanding teachers, and rewards for schools that improve performance with underprivileged children.^[237]

·                 Though Bush did not pass a major educational reform package during his presidency, his ideas influenced later reform efforts, including Goals 2000 and the No Child Left Behind Act.^[238]

·                 Bush signed the Immigration Act of 1990,^[239] which led to a 40 percent increase in legal immigration to the United States.^[240]

Public image

·       Bush was widely seen as a “pragmatic caretaker” president who lacked a unified and compelling long-term theme in his efforts.^{[243][244][245]}

·       A Bush sound bite, referring to the issue of overarching purpose as “the vision thing”, has become a metonym applied to other political figures accused of similar difficulties.^{[246][247][248][249][250][251]}

·       His ability to gain broad international support for the Gulf War and the war’s result were seen as both a diplomatic and military triumph,^[252] rousing bipartisan approval,^[253] though his decision to withdraw without removing Saddam Hussein left mixed feelings, and attention returned to the domestic front and a souring economy.^[254] A New York Times article mistakenly depicted Bush as being surprised to see a supermarket barcode reader;^[255][256] the report of his reaction exacerbated the notion that he was “out of touch”.^[255]

·       Bush was popular throughout most of his presidency.

·        After the Gulf war concluded in February 1991, his approval rating saw a high of 89 percent, before gradually declining for the rest of the year, and eventually falling below 50 percent according to a January 1992 Gallup poll.^{[257][258][259]}

·       His sudden drop in his favourability was likely due to the early 1990s recession, which shifted his image from “conquering hero” to “politician befuddled by economic matters”.^[260]

·       At the elite level, several commentators and political experts lamented the state of American politics in 1991–1992 and reported the voters were angry.

·       Many analysts blamed the poor quality of national election campaigns.^[261]

1992 Presidential Campaign

·       Bush announced his re-election bid in early 1992; with a coalition victory in the Persian Gulf War and high approval ratings, Bush’s re-election initially looked likely.^[262]

·       As a result, many leading Democrats, including Mario Cuomo, Dick Gephardt, and Al Gore, declined to seek their party’s presidential nomination.^[263]

·       However, Bush’s tax increase angered many conservatives, who believed that Bush had strayed from the conservative principles of Ronald Reagan.^[264]

·       Bush was defeated in the 1992 presidential election by Bill Clinton.

POST – PRESIDENCY (1993–2018)

Appearances

·                 After leaving office, Bush and his wife built a retirement house in the community of West Oaks, Houston.^[283]

·                 He established a presidential office within the Park Laureate Building on Memorial Drive in Houston.^[284]

·                 Bush supported his son’s candidacy in the 2000 presidential election but did not actively campaign in the election and did not deliver a speech at the 2000 Republican National Convention.^[292]

·                 In his retirement, Bush used the public spotlight to support various charities.^[297]

·                 Despite earlier political differences with Bill Clinton, the two former presidents eventually became friends.^[298]

Final Years

·                 From left to right: George H. W. Bush, Barack Obama, George W. Bush, Bill Clinton, and Jimmy Carter.

·                 Bush supported Republican John McCain in the 2008 presidential election,^[301] and Republican Mitt Romney in the 2012 presidential election,^[302].

·                 but both were defeated by Democrat Barack Obama.

·                  In 2011, Obama awarded Bush with the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest civilian Honour in the United States.^[303]

·                 On April 17, 2018, Barbara Bush died at the age of 92^[310] at her home in Houston, Texas.

·                 Her funeral was held at St. Martin’s Episcopal Church in Houston four days later.^[311][312]

Death and Funeral

·                 Members of the public pay their respects at the casket of President Bush lying in state in the Rotunda of the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C.

·                  After a long battle with vascular Parkinson’s disease, Bush died at his home in Houston on November 30, 2018, at the age of 94.^[316][317]

Personal Life

·                 In May 1991, The New York Times revealed that Bush had developed Graves’ disease, a non-contagious thyroid condition that his wife Barbara also had.^[325]

·                 Bush had two separate hip replacement surgeries in 2000 and 2007.^[326]

·                 Thereafter, Bush started to experience weakness in his legs, which was attributed to vascular Parkinsonism, a form of Parkinson’s disease.

·                 He progressively developed problems walking, initially needing a walking stick for mobility aid before he eventually came to rely on a wheelchair from 2011.

LEGACY

Historical Reputation

·                 Bush visits NAS JRB during Hurricane Katrina relief efforts, 2005.

·                 Polls of historians and political scientists have ranked Bush in the top half of presidents.

·                  A 2018 poll of the American Political Science Association‘s Presidents and Executive Politics section ranked Bush as the 17th best president out of 44.^[331]

·                 A 2017 C-SPAN poll of historians also ranked Bush as the 20th best president out of 43.^[332]

·                 Richard Rose described Bush as a “guardian” president, and many other historians and political scientists have similarly described Bush as a passive, hands-off president who was “largely content with things as they were”.^[333]

·                 Professor Steven Knott writes that “[g]generally the Bush presidency is viewed as successful in foreign affairs but a disappointment in domestic affairs.”^[334]

·                 Biographer Jon Meacham writes that, after he left office, many Americans viewed Bush as “a gracious and under – appreciated man who had many virtues but who had failed to project enough of a distinctive identity and vision to overcome the economic challenges of 1991–92 and to win a second term.”^[335]

·                 Bush himself noted that his legacy was “lost between the glory of Reagan … and the trials and tribulations of my sons.”^[336]

·                 In the 2010s, Bush was fondly remembered for his willingness to compromise, which contrasted with the intensely partisan era that followed his presidency.^[337]

·                 In 2018, Vox highlighted Bush for his “pragmatism” as a moderate Republican president by working across the aisle.^[338]

·                 They specifically noted Bush’s accomplishments within the domestic policy by making bipartisan deals, including raising the tax budget among the wealthy with the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1990.

·                 Bush also helped pass the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 which The New York Times described as “the most sweeping anti-discrimination law since the Civil Rights Act of 1964.^[339]

·                 In response to the Exxon Valdez oil spill, Bush built another bipartisan coalition to strengthen the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990.^[340][341]

·                 Bush also championed and signed into a law the Immigration Act of 1990, a sweeping bipartisan immigration reform act that made it easier for immigrants to legally enter the county, while also granting immigrants fleeing violence the temporary protected status visa, as well as lifted the pre-naturalization English testing process, and finally “eliminated the exclusion of homosexuals under what Congress now deemed the medically unsound classification of ‘sexual deviant’ that was included in the 1965 act.”^[342][343]

·                 Bush stated, “Immigration is not just a link to our past but it’s also a bridge to America’s future”.^[344]

·                 However, TIME has criticized Bush’s domestic policies involving “drugs, homelessness, racial hostility, education gaps, [and] issues with the environment”, and it argues that these issues in the United States became worse in the 21st century primarily due to Bush setting a poor example and his handling of these concepts during his presidency.^[349]

Memorials, Awards, and Honours

·                 The George H.W. Bush Presidential Library and Museum on the west campus of Texas A&M University in College Station, Texas, 2011.

·                 The library is located on a 90-acre (36 ha) site on the west campus of Texas A&M University in College Station, Texas.^[359]

·                 Texas A&M University also hosts the Bush School of Government and Public Service, a graduate public policy school.^[359]

·                 In 2012, Phillips Academy also awarded Bush its Alumni Award of Distinction.^[360]
