The ease of Bush's entry into the Air Guard was widely reported last

At a time when such billets were coveted and his father was a Houston
congressman, Bush vaulted to the top of a waiting list of 500. Bush and

his

father have denied that he received any preferential treatment. But last

a

Guard slot for Bush after a friend of Bush's father asked him to do so.

said he doesn't remember Bush ever turning up on base, and more than a

dozen

members of the 800-person unit, including its commander, told The

Associated

Press this week they have no recollection of Bush. Critics have made
