plined while serving in the TexasAn
National Guard, never failed a physi
cal and never asked his father m
family friends for help to get him into
the guard during the Vietnam War
the White House said Wednesday,
The White House answers came
in response to a dozen questions
submitted by The Associated Pressir
light of new records detailing Buslis
Guard service and allegations that
have surfaced this election season.
The Texas Air National Quart
stripped Bush of his pilot status in
August 1972 for failing to take the
annual medical exam requiredofal
pilots. Former Air National Quart
officials say it was rare fora pilotto
skip his physical exam.
