Bush speaking at Clinton Library opening
WHITE HOUSE (AP) -- President Bush will be among those saluting his predecessor today at the opening of the Clinton Presidential Library.
The president�s joining his father and former President Jimmy Carter at the
Little Rock ceremonies. Of the living ex-presidents, only Gerald Ford won�t be there.
White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan calls the opening a �happy and historic occasion.�
Even though Bill Clinton denied his father a second term, Bush has gone out of his way to praise the 42nd president. At a June unveiling for Clinton�s official White House portrait, he praised Clinton�s �deep� policy knowledge and �forward-looking spirit.�
Bush is stopping in Little Rock on the way to a weekend Pacific Rim summit in Santiago, Chile.
