Austin American-Statesman from Austin, Texas • 39

Metro State Austin American-Statesman B2 Friday, June 1, 2001 White House keeping quiet about dealings with daughters Chuy's manager tells of flap with Bushes about parental involvement in battling drugs, Houston Chronicle 1 reporter Bennett Roth asked Fleischer whether the president has talked to his daughters about substance abuse. Fleischer dismissed the question as out of bounds. He later called Roth to chastise him and report that the question had been "noted in the building." For years, the Bushes have worked to keep their daughters out of the public eye, something that became impossible when one of them wound up on the public record. The girls were invisible on the campaign trail, showing up only for major events such as the Republican National Convention. Although generally unseen, they did not go unmentioned.

Bush sometimes reflected on life with twin daughters. "There's nothing you can do to make us stop loving you," he said he had told the girls. "So stop trying." responded, Sgt. Rodney Keene, asked her what she wanted to do about the situation. "He suggested that I turn the other cheek," she said.

"I said I felt the police should do what they normally do." Police said Keene was not available for comment. Police spokeswoman Sally Muir said, "I never heard that." Bartenders and managers typically deal with fake identifications by confiscating them or refusing service, not by calling 911, Chapman said. Whether Chuy's routinely calls 911 to report minors who are attempting to buy alcohol couldn't be determined Thursday. The restaurant was referring questions to a spokesman who could not be reached. The group was getting ready to leave the restaurant when police arrived, Chapman said.

Chapman said there was too much commotion at the restaurant Tuesday night to issue the tickets. "It got kind of convoluted," he said. Instead, police sent the girls on their way with Secret Service Karon HortaAmerican-Statesman Chuy's, one of Austin's many Tex-Mex restaurants, was thrust into the national spotlight this week after manager Mia Lawrence called the police to report that minors were trying to buy alcohol at her eatery. Continued from Bl Thursday. The Bushes were part of a five-person group sitting at a table in the Tex-Mex restaurant Tuesday night when other patrons, a waitress and a bartender recognized Jenna Bush, who will be a sophomore at the University of Texas.

Mia Lawrence, the restaurant's manager, said she asked to see Jenna Bush's driver's license. The picture on the license, however, looked "slightly off," Lawrence said, and had another person's name on it. "lit was a valid Texas driver's license; it just wasn't hers," Lawrence said. Other people at the table with Jenna Bush had what appeared to be valid identification, including her sister. Barbara Bush, whom the restaurant -staff didn't recognize, was served a margarita and a tequila shot, Lawrence said.

Lawrence said she called 911 and reported that Jenna Bush was trying to buy alcohol with someone else's identification. Lawrence said one of the officers who Earle also ordered her to pay $51.25 in court costs.

Continued from Bl The incident occurred less than two weeks after Jenna Bush pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor charge of being a minor in possession of alcohol and was ordered to pay $51.25 in court costs, perform eight hours of community service and attend alcohol awareness classes. "Any conversations the president has had with his children will remain private conversations," Fleischer said. White House Correspondent Helen Thomas of Hearst Newspapers challenged Fleischer, saying, "It's not so private any more when they wind up on a police blotter." Bush has talked publicly about his own experiences with alcohol. He said he stopped drinking at age 40 because he felt it was draining his energy. During the presidential campaign, after long-forgotten police records were uncovered, Bush confirmed that he had been convicted of drunken driving in Maine in 1976.

The White House has not shied from expressing displeasure about questions concerning the daughters.
