S.M.U. Makes It Official: Bush Library Is Coming
From the February 23, 2008 New York Times...
A center devoted to the life, works, papers and policies of
President Bush will be built at Southern Methodist University, despite
lingering concerns and opposition from some Methodists. In addition to
a library of presidential papers, the center here will include a museum
and a public policy institute that will generally be independent of the
university, though it will appoint at least one board member.

Bush budget requests going electronic
This year, when President George W. Bush submits his budget requests to
Congress, the White House only plans to post it on the Internet.
Therefore, lawmakers will need to dig into their own pockets if they
want an official print copy. In the past, the administration gave away
about 3,000 free copies of its budget proposal to lawmakers, federal
agencies and members of the media. Now, official copies are $213 each -
or approximately ten cents per page for the nearly 2,200-pages budget.
This switching to an e-budget, saves nearly 20 tons of paper, about 480
trees.
2008 State of the Union
The official White House website has plenty of information about last
night's State of the Union address by Pres. Bush. This includes a
complete transcript as well as a video webcast of the entire speech.
For all of this, visit the White House's State of the Union page.
