> Bush renews think tank's link to high-level GOP policy
>
> BY MARY ANNE OSTROM
> Mercury News Staff Writer
>
> In his first Silicon Valley campaign speech earlier this month,
> Texas Gov. George W. Bush promised he'll have a plan to cut
> taxes. He then singled out a center table occupied by Hoover
> Institution fellows that Thursday morning and playfully pleaded,
> ``Won't we, Taylor, Cogan, Boskin?''
>
> ``Friday afternoon,'' someone shouted back, prompting ripples of
> laughter in the Palo Alto hotel ballroom.
>
> Indeed, last week John Taylor, John Cogan and Michael Boskin --
> who worked for Ronald Reagan and Bush's father, among others --
> could be found scurrying among their Hoover offices, busily
> devising what the GOP presidential hopeful ordered.
>
> Not since the Reagan era has Stanford University's world-renowned
> think tank -- founded 80 years ago by a man who himself would
> become president -- been so intimately linked with a single
> presidential candidate. Six decades ago, Herbert Hoover dedicated
> the 285-foot tower at Stanford, saying, ``The purpose of this
> institution is to promote peace.''

> HOOVER INSTITUTION
> <Picture>
> Mission Statement
>
> This Institution supports the Constitution of the United States,
> its Bill of Rights and its method of representative government.
> Both our social and economic systems are based on private
> enterprise from which springs initiative and ingenuity. . . .
> Ours is a system where the Federal Government should undertake no
> governmental, social or economic action, except where local
> government, or the people, cannot under-take it for themselves. .
> . . The overall mission of this Institution is, from its records,
> to recall the voice of experience against the making of war, and
> by the study of these records and their publication, to recall
> man's endeavors to make and preserve peace, and to sustain for
> America the safeguards of the American way of life. This
> Institution is not, and must not be, a mere library. But with
> these purposes as its goal, the Institution itself must
> constantly and dynamically point the road to peace, to personal
> freedom, and to the safeguards of the American system.
