Excerpt from an unauthorized biography of George Bush Senior,
regarding his involvement in the assassination attempt on Reagan.


Full account available at:

http://www.tarpley.net/bush17.htm.

. . .

In the midst of the Bush-Baker cabal's relentless drive to seize
control over the Reagan administration, John Warnock Hinckley Jr.
carried out his attempt to assassinate President Reagan on the
afternoon of March 30, 1981. George Bush was visiting Texas that
day. Bush was flying from Fort Worth to Austin in his Air Force
Two Boeing 707. In Fort Worth, Bush had unveiled a plaque at the
Hyatt Regency Hotel, the old Hotel Texas, designating it as a
national historic site. This was the hotel, coincidentally, in
which John F. Kennedy had spent the last night of his life,
before going on to Dallas the next day, November 22, 1963. Here
was a sinister symbolism!

In Austin Bush was scheduled to deliver an address to a joint
session of the Texas state legislature. It was Al Haig who called
Bush in the clear and told him that the President had been shot,
while forwarding the details of Reagan's condition, insofar as
they were known, by scrambler as a classified message. Haig was
in touch with James Baker III, who was close to Reagan at George
Washington University hospital. Bush's man in the White House
situation room was Admiral Dan Murphy, who was standing right
next to Haig. Bush agreed with Haig's estimate that he ought to
return to Washington at once. But first his plane needed to be
refueled, so it landed at Carswell Air Force Base near Austin.

Refueling took about forty minutes; during this time Bush talked
on board the plane with Texas Governor William Clements, his
wife, Rita, and Texas Secretary of State George Strake. Texas
Congressman Jim Wright was also travelling on Bush's plane that
day, as were Congressmen Bill Archer of Houston and Jim Collins
of Dallas. Bush's top aide Chase Untermeyer was also with the
party on Air Force Two. [fn 10]

Bush says that his flight from Carswell to Andrews Air Force Base
near Washington took about two and one half hours, and that he
arrived at Andrews at abouit 6:40 PM. Bush says he was told by Ed
Meese that the operation to remove the bullet that had struck
Reagan was a success, and that the president was likely to
survive. Bush's customary procedure was to land at Andrews and
then take a helicopter to the vice presidential residence, the
Naval Observatory on Massachusetts Avenue. His aides Ed Pollard
and John Matheny suggested that he would save time by going by
helicopter directly to the White House south lawn, where he could
arrive in time to be shown on the 7 PM Eastern time evening news
broadcasts. Bush makes much oif the fact that he refused to do
this, allegeedly on the symbolic grounds that "Only the President
lands on the south lawn."

Back at the White House, the principal cabinet officers had
assembled in the situation room and had been running a crisis
management committee during the afternoon. Haig says he was at
first adamant that a conspiracy, if discovered, should be
ruthlessly exposed: "It was essential that we get the facts and
publish them quickly. Rumor must not be allowed to breed on this
tragedy. Remembering the aftermath of the Kennedy assassination,
I said to Woody Goldberg, 'No matter what the truth is about this
shooting, the American people must know it." [fn 11] But the
truth has never been established.

Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger's memoir of that afternoon
reminds us of two highly relevant facts. The first is that a
"NORAD [North American Air Defense Command] exercise with a
simulated incoming missle attack had been planned for the next
day." Weinberger agreed with General David Jones, the chiarman of
the Joint Chiefs of Staff, that this exercise should be
cancelled. [fn 12]

Weinberger also recalls that the group in the Situation Room was
informed by James Baker that "there had been a FEMA [Federal
Emergency Management Administration] exercise scheduled for the
next day on presidential succession, with the general title 'Nine
Lives.' By an immediate consensus, it was agreed that exercise
should also be cancelled." [fn 13]

As Weinberger further recalls, "at almost exactly 7:00, the Vice
President came to the Situation Room and very calmly assumed the
chair at the head of the table." [fn 14] According to Weinberger,
the first item discussed was the need for someonme to sign the
Dairy Price Support Bill the next day so as to reassure the
public. Bush asked Weinberger for a report on the status of US
forces, which Weinberger furnished.

Another eyewitness of these transactions was Don Regan, whom the
Tower Board later made the fall-guy for Bush's Iran-contra
escapades. Regan records that "the Vice President arrived with Ed
Meese, who had met him when he landed to fill him in on the
details. George asked for a condition report: 1) on the
President; 2) on the other wounded; 3) on the assailant; 4) on
the international

Hundreds cast votes illegally in Broward

Some poll workers were lax on rules


TOM DUBOCQ AND MANNY GARCIA
[EMAIL PROTECTED]


As many as four hundred illegal ballots were cast in Broward
County's Nov. 7 election, most of them by unregistered voters.

Election records also show one man voted twice -- once by
absentee and once at the polls -- while another may have voted at
two different precincts.

Time after time across Broward, poll workers violated safeguards
intended to thwart voter fraud by allowing people to vote when
their names did not appear on precinct voter registers. All the
voters had to do was sign statements swearing they were eligible
to vote.

Poll workers were supposed to call elections headquarters in Fort
Lauderdale to verify registrations. But in dozens of instances,
the calls weren't made. Other times, poll workers tried to call
but got a busy signal.

``I quit trying. It was impossible to get through on the phone,''
said William La Fontaine, a veteran clerk who supervised two
precincts in Hallandale.

The irregularities in Broward cast further doubt on the hotly
contested Nov. 7 presidential election and amplify similar
findings of illegal voting in Miami-Dade. A Herald investigation
last month showed 144 illegal ballots were cast at 138 of Dade's
617 precincts by voters who were allowed to sign in at polls
where they were not registered. In one case, a Miami-Dade ballot
was cast in the name of an El Portal man who died three years
ago. The Miami-Dade State Attorney's Office and Florida
Department of Law Enforcement are investigating.

Like their counterparts in Miami-Dade, Broward elections
officials said poll workers were plagued by jammed telephone
lines to elections headquarters or simply ignored the
verification rules.

Broward Assistant Elections Supervisor Joseph Cotter said the 400
illegal ballots turned up during a department review of voters
who signed in at precincts where they weren't registered. He said
the elections department is investigating what went wrong and
will take corrective action.

``Yes, there was a problem with the phone system -- it got
overloaded. But regardless, our poll workers are instructed not
to let anyone vote without verifying registration with our
office,'' Cotter said.

MISTAKES MADE

``A lot of our poll workers are elderly, they are human and they
make mistakes. They were dealing with a huge turnout, people in
line screaming in their faces and they made mistakes.''

The 400 illegal ballots were among 587,928 cast in Broward on
Nov. 7, a 66 percent turnout. Poll workers overseeing the ballot
boxes received up to four hours of training and were paid $95 to
$125 for a 14-hour day.

The illegal voters included:


a..  219 voters who were registered in Miami-Dade, Palm Beach,
other Florida counties or out of state. Most appeared to have
recently moved to Broward, but had failed to register in their
new home county as required by state law.  Forty-four of the
unregistered voters were allowed to cast ballots without
providing photo identification. They signed sworn statements
attesting to their identity in order to vote.


a..  164 voters whose names had been purged from Broward's voter
rolls because they had moved out of the county and had registered
elsewhere to vote, or who failed to respond to letters attempting
to verify their registration.

a..  12 convicted felons who had been stripped of their right to
vote under state law.

a..  8 new voters who had improperly filled out registration
cards and had not made corrections by the Oct. 10 deadline.  One
Fort Lauderdale voter voted twice in the Nov. 7 election -- once
with an absentee ballot, then in person at Precinct 32Z at Martin
Luther King Jr. Elementary School, 591 NW 31st Ave, Broward
elections records indicate.

Corey Cornelius Green, 28, of 730 NW 33rd Terr., filed an
affidavit with a poll worker swearing that he had not yet voted.
But election records show the registered Democrat cast an
absentee ballot on Nov. 2, using another Fort Lauderdale address:
111 Florida Ave.

Had the poll worker checked Green's registration, she would have
known he already had voted. She did not, blaming a busy signal.
``Unable to get through,'' she wrote on Green's affirmation.
Green did not return four calls Monday.

Records also show that two ballots were issued to George A.
Harris, 83, of 1625 SE 10th Ave. Elections Department records
show Harris stopped at two different precincts.

Harris, a Republican, insists he voted once, for George W. Bush.
``The elections department can't keep its records straight,''
Harris said.

Harris said he ordered a voter card before the election after he
moved to his new home, but it never arrived. Harris said he
filled out an affidavit to vote at precinct 75R, which
corresponded with his new address, but the clerk turned him away
because he was not registered there.

So Harris said he drove to his old precinct, 59R, filled out
another affidavit, and voted.
