Read My Lips

<p>Author Dan Ostrander with President Bush Houston Texas March 24 1999.</p><p></p><p>- Photo by Michael Dannenhauer</p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p>Although I knew at the time I was taking a huge political risk I thought getting the deficit down continuing economic expansion and employment in this country were more important than my earlier campaign pledge not to raise taxes; thus our budget agreement was in the best interest of the country... This book helps clarify and explain the effects of the '1990 Budget Deal' and I am grateful to Professor Ostrander for tackling this very complicated task of explaining one of the most controversial events of my Presidency... Mostly I hope this book will give the reader some insight into the art of negotiation and compromise and our system of government at work.</p><p></p><p>George Bush</p>
