White House confirms Bush's visit to state

COLUMBIA — President Bush will visit the South Carolina Statehouse on Thursday for a joint session of the General Assembly.

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.
