BUSH'S SONS LOBBIED KUWAIT, REPORT SAYS

Two sons of former President Bush and several former top Bush administration officials have tried to exploit Kuwait's sense of gratitude toward Bush to gain business advantages, a published report charged Sunday.

Two Bush sons - Marvin and Neil - as well as former Secretary of State James A. Baker III and former White House chief of staff John Sununu have sought out Kuwaiti officials on behalf of U.S. businesses for post-Gulf War rebuilding projects, investigative journalist Seymour Hersh wrote in The New Yorker magazine article.

The article says President Bush personally has had no such dealings, nor in any way has sought to profit from his close relationship with Kuwaiti leaders. It also said no deals involving the former Bush officials or the family members had as yet produced any actual business.
