Library
Continued from page 1A
in Boston is the most popular
presidential library because of
the location, but the Bush
Library had 3,000 more visi
tors last year than the Lyndon
Baines Johnson Library locat
ed on the University of Texas
campus, Blake said.
“From where we are located
the numbers are very good. We
will try for the next million in
the next three years,” he said.
But before the one mil
lionth visitor was greeted, vis
itors to the library Monday
afternoon caught a glimpse of
the first portrait of father and
son presidents.
The painting features the for
mer president and his son
President George W. Bush
standing side by side, looking
into the distance.
The portrait was commis
sioned in 2001 by the George
Bush Library Foundation and
painted by New York artist
Ronald N. Sherr, Blake said.
The portrait was inspired by
the Bush Library exhibit
“Fathers and Sons: Two families
Four Presidents.” The only
other father-son presidents, John
Quincy Adams and his son John
Adams, were never painted
together.
“It is a unique opportunity to
show both presidents together
and their family connection,”
said Patricia Burchfield, muse
um curator. “It is a very good
and handsome portrait to have in
our collection.”
Sheer made a trip in 2001 to
Camp David, and was told that
he only had 30 minutes to take
photographs for the painting.
Former President Bush joked
that he and his son acquired the
nicknames 41 and 43 because of
Sheer.
“He was a little nervous”
Bush said. “He looked at his
own watch and he’d burned up
about four minutes and he said
‘all right 41 would you look out
there and 43, look out there.’”
Blake said the Smithsonian
museum in Washington D.C.
has already requested the por
trait be on display there.
However, Blake said, the
painting will stay in College
Station at least through the
summer.
“We hope folks want to see
it,” he said. “It is definitely a
kudos for the community, plus
students should remember they
get in free, so they have no
excuses.”
Speaker of the House Des
Hastert will present the
Waldo Cameron Forum on Ru

Justin Unruh, spokesman for
Morrison, said the bill, which
the committee took up two
weeks ago, is still a work in
progress as Morrison tries to
build a consensus among com
mittee members about the
issue.
“We’re not wedded to any
specific plan,” Unruh said. “Our
main concerns are to give uni
versities the (tuition) flexibility
they need to remain competitive
and to provide protection for
middle income families. We
don’t want them to bear the
brunt (of tuition hikes).”
If the House passes a dereg
ulation measure, a conference
committee will hammer out a
compromise between the
Senate and House tuition bills,
Unruh said.
With tuition deregulation
dead in the Senate, A&M offi
cials are studying Morrison’s
bill and other deregulation pro
posals, but have not decided
whether to support any specific
legislation, said Bob Wright,
A&M University System
spokesman.
Until there is a better idea of
just how deep the budget cuts
will go, the University cannot
estimate how much leeway it
will need to raise tuition to off
set losses in funding.
“We’ve heard so many dif
ferent (budget) numbers,”
Wright said. “Sooner or later
one figure will rise to the top
and we can start making more
accurate calculations.”
