SCR 3 (Bates) – As Amended January 14, 2019

SENATE VOTE: 34-0

SUBJECT: President George H.W. Bush Day.

SUMMARY: Honors the late former President George H.W. Bush and dedicates June 12, 2019,

and every June 12 thereafter, as President George H.W. Bush Day. Specifically, this resolution

makes the following legislative findings:

1) George H.W. Bush was born in Massachusetts on June 12, 1924. Coming from a family

with a tradition of public service, he felt the responsibility to make his contribution in times

of war and in times of peace. He enlisted in the armed forces on his 18th birthday. As one of

the youngest pilots in the United States Navy when he received his wings, he flew 58

combat missions during World War II. For his bravery in action, he was awarded the

Distinguished Flying Cross.

2) After he was honorably discharged from the United States Navy, he focused on completing

his education and raising a family. In January 1945, he married Barbara Pierce. They had six

children. At Yale University he excelled both in sports and academics. After graduating

from Yale University, Bush embarked on a career in the oil industry of West Texas.

3) Like his father, George H.W. Bush became interested in public service and politics. He

served two terms as a Representative to Congress from Texas. He was appointed to a series

of high-level positions: Ambassador to the United Nations, Chairman of the Republican

National Committee, Chief of the United States Liaison Office in the People’s Republic of

China, and Director of the Central Intelligence Agency.

4) In 1980, he campaigned for the Republican nomination for President, which he lost, but was

selected by Ronald Reagan to be his running mate. As Vice President, he had responsibility

in several domestic areas, including federal deregulation and antidrug programs. In 1988, he

won the Republican nomination for President and defeated Massachusetts Governor Michael

Dukakis in the general election to win the presidency.

5) George Herbert Walker Bush, as the 41st President of the United States, brought to the White

House a dedication to traditional American values and a determination to direct those values

toward making the United States “a kinder and gentler nation.” In his Inaugural Address,

President Bush pledged in “a moment rich with promise” to use American strength as “a

force for good.”

6) President Bush faced a dramatically changing world at the beginning of his term, as the

Cold War ended after 40 bitter years, the Communist empire broke up, and the Berlin Wall

fell. The Soviet Union ceased to exist and reformist President Mikhail Gorbachev, whom

President Bush had supported, resigned. While he hailed the march of democracy, President

Bush insisted on restraint in the United States policy toward the group of new nations.

SCR 3 Page 2

7) In 1989, President Bush sent American troops into Panama to overthrow the corrupt regime

of General Manuel Noriega, who was threatening the security of the Panama Canal and the

Americans living there. Noriega was eventually brought to the United States for trial as a

drug trafficker.

8) President Bush’s greatest test came when Iraqi President Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait

in 1990 and then threatened to move into Saudi Arabia. Vowing to free Kuwait, President

Bush rallied the United Nations, the American people, and Congress and sent 425,000

American troops, who were joined by 118,000 troops from allied nations. After weeks of air

and missile bombardment, the 100-hour land battle known as Desert Storm routed Iraq’s

million-man army.

9) Despite unprecedented popularity from this military and diplomatic triumph, President Bush

was unable to withstand discontent within the nation from a faltering economy, rising

violence in inner cities, and continued high deficit spending. In 1992, President Bush lost

his bid for reelection to Democrat William J. Clinton.

10) George H. W. Bush passed away on November 30, 2018, at his home in Houston, Texas, at

the age of 94.
