President Bush, Former Vice President Gore Visit GW

Bush Discusses Housing, Gore Focuses On Health Care

President George W. Bush chose GW’s Media and Public Affairs Building as the site to unveil his administration’s plan to expand minority home ownership Oct. 15. The announcement came during a conference with the Department of Housing and Urban Development at GW. On hand for the event were many members of GW’s College Republicans as well as President Trachtenberg and Student Association President Philip Robinson.

Former Vice President Al Gore addressed a standing-room only crowd at the GW Medical Center Oct. 24. Gore spoke about health care policy and its relationship to the war on terrorism and the potential war against Iraq. Gore said the country’s public health system must be prepared to respond to chemical and biological attacks. “We need a new national defense public health act to responsibly address this imminent threat,” Gore said. “This initiative would not only act as a new line of defense against bioterrorism, it would improve the way we prevent and detect many other health care problems.”
