White House confirms Bush's visit to statePosted Saturday, April 2, 2005 - 1:41 amBy THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Bush "will make remarks on strengthening Social Security," White House spokesman Taylor Gross said. It's part of the president's 60-stop cross-country tour to discuss his plans to restructure the program. The Statehouse was chosen because "South Carolina is an outstanding example of a state legislature making decisions and keeping their fiscal house in order," Gross said. Bush's visit marks the third address to the General Assembly for a sitting president since President Richard Nixon in 1972. Bush's father spoke at the Statehouse in 1989. Bush will arrive midmorning Thursday. House Speaker David Wilkins, R-Greenville, says a resolution that formally invites Bush to address the General Assembly in the House's chambers has been drafted, but no specific time has been set for the visit. |
