Unlikely victims of the Sequester: The Bush family
There’s a new and unlikely victim of the sequester: The Bush family.
The across-the-board spending cuts brought on by the budget impasse have put a crimp in the plans of Rep. Michael Conaway, R-Texas, to get the childhood home of George W. Bush, the nation’s 43rd president, designated as a national historic site.
Conaway, a Republican who represents the Midland, Texas, area where Bush grew up, has requested that the National Park Service conduct a ”reconnaissance survey” to determine if the Bush home, now a museum, would gain official federal historic status.
”The people of Midland have done a wonderful job preserving the history of the George W. Bush Childhood Home, which joins the Adams National Historical Site in being the home of two presidents,” Conaway said, referring to George W. Bush’s father, George H.W. Bush, the 41st president of the United States.
