Boy, I read the May 19 1972 memo and then the May 26 1972 over=all evaluation report. They sure don't fit. He signs after Major Harris, of course, but concurs with him.

I'd almost say he wanted Bush to stay in his unit very badly and that he was kinda angry that he didn't have the power.

Of course, I also think that they are phoney, because even if you're covering your a**, pointing your finger to someone upstairs isn't going to help you.

The bottom line is that Bush wanted to fulfill his duty (It says so in black and white) and help his Dad AND he inquired "what do I have to do" to make it happen. What's wrong with that?

I'd be damn pleased to have Bush for a son. He's persevered in everything he's done and he's turned out to be extraordinary, way beyond my wildest dreams. He could have had it easy.

And he could have been a drunken bum but got himself on the right path and look what happened - Governor of Texas and President of the United States.
