The Texas Office of the First Lady encompasses the official
governmental activities of the spouse of the governor. The Office of the First
Lady is not an actual state agency and functions as a subdivision of the Office
of the Governor. To date, there is scant legislation regarding this office. As
such, it is defined more by tradition and individual preference than
legislation. Although not legally mandated, "at the
request of the Governor, and to represent the State of Texas" is the
guiding phrase for all the First Lady's official activities. To facilitate this
end, the Travel Regulations Act (Texas Government Code, Section 660.203(b))
states that the governor's spouse is entitled to reimbursement for expenses
incurred while performing duties at the direction of the governor. These duties
have traditionally included acting as hostess during receptions at the
Governor's Mansion, presiding over selected welfare organizations and
initiatives, accompanying the Governor in official travels, and participating
in selected ceremonial duties. Texas Government Code, Section 442.0071(d)
outlines the First Lady's role in the decoration of the Governor's Mansion. It
states that the Texas Historical Commission must solicit the advice and
approval of the First Lady before making changes to the decoration of the
Governor's Mansion.
Moreover, the First Lady is often appointed as a member of the
Inaugural Endowment Fund Committee. According to Texas Government Code, Section
401.011(b), the inaugural endowment fund may be expended for
"decorating, furnishing, preserving, or improving the
Capitol, the Governor's Mansion, or other state property of historical
significance or for grants in support of public schools, public libraries, or
other charitable causes at the discretion of the inaugural endowment fund
committee." All of these areas have historically fallen under the
influence of the First Lady.
The Texas Office of the First Lady includes one assistant, and the
First Lady often relies on the support staff of the Governor for assistance in
communications and scheduling in her official capacity.

Laura Bush acted as First Lady of Texas from January 17, 1995 when her
husband, George W. Bush, was sworn in as Texas Governor to December 21, 2000
when Bush resigned as Texas Governor. She became First Lady of the United
States when Bush was inaugurated as president of the United States in January
2001.
During her tenure as Texas First Lady, Mrs. Bush supported many causes
related to women's and children's health, education, and literacy. Her four
major initiatives were Take Time for Kids (a public awareness and educational
campaign that gives caregivers information about parenting topics), Family
Literacy (urging Texas communities to establish family literacy programs
through local collaboration with the Barbara Bush Foundation for Family
Literacy), Reach Out and Read (a pediatric-based literacy program), and Ready
to Read (focusing on early childhood education programs).
In addition, Mrs. Bush established the Texas Book Festival, which
raises grant money for public libraries, and opened Rainbow Rooms in several
locations throughout the state to provide emergency resources for abused and
neglected children. In conjunction with these Rainbow Rooms, she promoted the
Adopt-a-Caseworker program to provide a support system for Child Protective
Services caseworkers through private sponsorship. Finally, Mrs. Bush was an
advocate of breast cancer and Alzheimer's awareness and research throughout her
tenure.
Laura Bush (neé Welch), only daughter of Harold Bruce Welch and Jenna
Louise Hawkins, was born on November 4, 1946 in Midland, Texas. In 1968, Mrs.
Bush earned a Bachelor of Science degree in education from Southern Methodist
University. Upon graduating, she worked as a schoolteacher first at Longfellow
Elementary School in the Dallas Independent School District before moving on to
John F. Kennedy Elementary School in the Houston Independent School District in
1969, where she remained until 1972. Mrs. Bush then received a Master of
Science degree in Library Science in 1973 from the University of Texas at
Austin. Thereafter, she worked at the Kashmere Gardens Branch of the Houston
Public Library until 1974, when she returned to Austin to work at Dawson
Elementary School in the Austin Independent School District until 1977.
George W. Bush and Laura Bush were married on November 5, 1977. They
have two daughters, Jenna and Barbara (both born in 1981). Since that time, she
has volunteered for several charitable organizations, including the Dallas
County Community Partners, which launched the first Rainbow Room. She has also
served on the national board of Reading is Fundamental, Southern Methodist
University's 21st Century Council, and the advisory boards of the University of
Texas Graduate School of Library and Information Science and the American
Library Association's office of intellectual freedom.
Return to the Table of Contents
The Texas Office of the First Lady encompasses the official
governmental activities of the spouse of the governor and functions as a
subdivision of the Office of the Governor in practice. The records of Texas
First Lady Laura Bush in these series are large-print texts of speeches written
for and presented by Mrs. Bush, ranging in date from about 1994 to July 1999,
bulk 1995 to 1999; daily schedules, February 1995 to June 1999; and itinerary
information, February 1995 to October 1999. Most of the records in these series
date from 1995 to 1998. Fewer records exist for 1999 and none for the year
2000, most likely due to Laura Bush's increasing involvement with her husband's
presidential campaign at that time.
Most of the speeches in the first series of this finding aid contain
a heading identifying the event, the date, and, in some cases, the location.
Some of the speeches include handwritten notes, revisions, and pronunciation
hints. This series includes copies of the closing prayer at the swearing in of
Tony Garza as Texas Secretary of State, the opening speeches of the Texas Book
Festival, and remarks from the First Ladies' Children's Summit.
The daily schedules series consists of records taken from loose-leaf
binders containing daily schedules for Texas First Lady Laura Bush, day-by-day
and minute-by-minute, February 1995 to June 1999. They provide precise detail
concerning the times and places of her departures and arrivals, indicating the
nature of the events, the mode of transportation (including who is on a given
manifest), contact persons (with phone and fax numbers and e-mail addresses)
and other pertinent information, including copies of original invitations,
flyers, related newspaper articles, and handwritten notations. Many of the
schedules also include event information for Laura Bush's daughters Barbara and
Jenna. As with the Governor Bush schedules (which mirror these Laura Bush
schedules), review for personal family details and other information exempt
from disclosure under the Public Information Act must be done prior to release
to the public.
The records of the itinerary information series consist of annual
appointment calendars and event files, arranged chronologically by event,
February 1995 to October 1999, for Texas First Lady Laura Bush. Each folder is
labelled with the event and the date. The location is frequently also included
and a brief notation in the case of event cancellation. Types of documents
include yearly appointment calendars, travel arrangements, correspondence (e.g.
invitations, acceptances, and thank-you notes), event information forms,
agenda, remarks for Mrs. Bush, media advisories, newspaper clippings, event
photographs, mailing lists, brochures and other publications, especially
conference, meeting, or general information packets. Event information forms
include the sponsor organization name and a brief description of the
organization, the event name, date, time, and location, primary contact
information, other participants, appropriate attire, audience, and, if the
event includes a speaking engagement, details on the desired length and topic.
These information forms are included for most but not all events. The number of
pages for each event can range from a single-page letter declining an event to
several folders' worth, particularly in the case of the First Ladies'
Children's Summit, Main Street tours, the President's Summit for America's
Future, and other conferences.

Restrictions of Access
Because of the possibility that portions of these records fall under
Public Information Act exceptions including, but not limited to, home address
and phone numbers of government employees or officials and personal family
information (V.T.C.A., Government Code Sections 552.117 and 552.1175); e-mail
addresses (V.T.C.A., Government Code Section 552.137); credit card numbers
(V.T.C.A., Government Code Sections 552.136); and information protected under
common law privacy (V.T.C.A., Government Code Sections 552.101), an archivist
must review these records before they can be accessed for research. The records
may be requested for research under the provisions of the Public Information
Act (V.T.C.A., Government Code, Chapter 552). The researcher may request an
interview with an archivist or submit a request by mail, fax, or email,
including enough description and detail about the information requested to
enable the archivist to accurately identify and locate the information
requested. If our review reveals information that may be excepted by the Public
Information Act, we are obligated to seek an open records decision from the
Attorney General on whether the records can be released. The Public Information
Act allows the Archives ten working days after receiving a request to make this
determination. The Attorney General has 45 working days to render a decision.
Alternately, the Archives can inform you of the nature of the potentially
excepted information and if you agree, that information can be redacted or
removed and you can access the remainder of the records.
Records series in this finding aid have access restrictions specific
to each of them. The terms of access are found following the series
description.

Accession number: 2002/151
In December 2000, Governor George W. Bush designated the George Bush
presidential Library as the repository for the records from his tenure as
Governor of Texas, under authority of Texas Government Code, Section 441.201.
Shortly after he left office, the records were shipped to the Bush Library in
College Station, Texas. Texas Attorney General John Cornyn ruled that the
records are state records subject to the Texas Public Information Act and the
management of the Texas State Library and Archives Commission even after
transfer to a federal facility (Opinion No. JC-0498, May 3, 2002). In July 2002
the records were transferred from the Bush Library to the Texas State Archives
in Austin for preparation for research use. In June 2003, a memorandum of
understanding signed by representatives of the National Archives and Records
Administration, the Texas State Library and Archives Commission, and George W.
Bush replaced a January 2002 interim memorandum of understanding. The records
will be returned to the Bush Library after the project has been completed.

large-print texts of speeches written for and presented by Texas First Lady
Laura Bush, ranging in date from probably 1994 to July 1999, bulk 1995-1999.
Most of the speeches contain a heading identifying the event, the date, and, in
some cases, the location. Some of the speeches include handwritten notes,
revisions, and pronunciation hints. This series includes copies of the closing
prayer at the swearing in of Tony Garza as Texas Secretary of State, the
opening speeches of the Texas Book Festival, and remarks from the First Ladies'
children's summit, a conference focusing on early childhood education,
development, and health issues that included Texas First Lady Laura Bush and
other first ladies of the Texas-Mexico border region, including El Paso First
Lady Kenna Ramirez and Carolina Reyes, wife of Congressman Silvestre Reyes. |
| Mrs. Bush spoke at Rainbow Room (locations to store emergency
resources for abused and neglected children) openings, awards' dinners,
chambers of commerce meetings, schools, commencement ceremonies, conventions,
literacy events, press conferences, public libraries, benefits, charitable
organizations, and presented several Main Street awards to recipient cities.
Affiliated with the National Trust for Historic Preservation, the Texas Main
Street Program helps Texas cities revitalize historic downtown areas by
preservation of landmark buildings and economic development strategies. Laura
Bush's speeches focus on subjects such as education, women and children's
health, literacy programs, and the history of the Governor's Mansion and its
occupants. Speech topics included the following initiatives: Take Time for Kids
(a public awareness and educational campaign that gives caregivers information
about parenting topics), Family Literacy (urging Texas communities to establish
family literacy programs through local collaboration with the Barbara Bush
Foundation for Family Literacy), Reach Out and Read (a pediatric-based literacy
program), and Ready to Read (focusing on early childhood education
programs). |

First Lady Laura Bush's daily schedules,
1995-1999,
3.58 cubic ft.
|
| The Texas Office of the First Lady encompasses the official
governmental activities of the spouse of the governor and functions as a
subdivision of the Office of the Governor in practice. The daily schedules
series consists of records taken from loose-leaf binders containing daily
schedules for First Lady Laura Bush, day-by-day and minute-by-minute, from
February 1995 to June 1999. They provide precise detail concerning the times
and places of her departures and arrivals, indicating the nature of the events,
the mode of transportation (including who is on a given manifest), contact
persons (with phone and fax numbers and e-mail addresses) and other pertinent
information, including copies of original invitations, flyers, related
newspaper articles, and handwritten notations. Many of the schedules also
include event information for Laura Bush's daughters Barbara and Jenna. As with
the Governor Bush schedules (which mirror these Laura Bush schedules), review
for personal family details and other information exempt from disclosure under
the Public Information Act must be done prior to release to the public. |
| [Note: The majority of the files contain
certain telephone and pager numbers, possibly excepted from disclosure under
government employees or officials' home telephone numbers, personal cellular
telephone numbers, personal pager numbers, and personal family information
(V.T.C.A., Government Code Sections 552.117 and 552.1175). Because these items
are present in the majority of folders, they are not individually marked as
confidential in the folder inventory.] |
| Arrangement |
| These records are arranged chronologically as maintained by the
agency. Misfilings have been corrected by State Archives staff. |
| Restrictions on Access |
| Because of the possibility that portions of these records fall
under Public Information Act exceptions including, but not limited to, home
address and phone numbers of government employees or officials and personal
family information (V.T.C.A., Government Code Sections 552.117 and 552.1175);
e-mail addresses (V.T.C.A., Government Code Section 552.137); credit card
numbers (V.T.C.A., Government Code Sections 552.136); and information protected
under common law privacy (V.T.C.A., Government Code Sections 552.101), an
archivist must review these records before they can be accessed for research.
The records may be requested for research under the provisions of the Public
Information Act (V.T.C.A., Government Code, Chapter 552). The researcher may
request an interview with an archivist or submit a request by mail, fax, or
email, including enough description and detail about the information requested
to enable the archivist to accurately identify and locate the information
requested. If our review reveals information that may be excepted by the Public
Information Act, we are obligated to seek an open records decision from the
Attorney General on whether the records can be released. The Public Information
Act allows the Archives ten working days after receiving a request to make this
determination. The Attorney General has 45 working days to render a decision.
Alternately, the Archives can inform you of the nature of the potentially
excepted information and if you agree, that information can be redacted or
removed and you can access the remainder of the records. |

First Lady Laura Bush's itinerary information,
1995-1999,
7 cubic ft.
|
| The Texas Office of the First Lady encompasses the official
governmental activities of the spouse of the governor and functions as a
subdivision of the Office of the Governor in practice. The records of the
itinerary information series consist of annual appointment calendars and event
files, February 1995 to October 1999, for Texas First Lady Laura Bush. Each
folder is labelled with the event and the date. The location is frequently also
included, as is a brief notation in the case of event cancellation. Types of
documents include yearly appointment calendars, travel arrangements,
correspondence (e.g. invitations, acceptances, and thank-you notes), event
information forms, agenda, remarks for Mrs. Bush, media advisories, newspaper
clippings, event photographs, mailing lists, brochures and other publications,
especially conference, meeting, or general information packets. Event
information forms include the sponsor organization name and a brief description
of the organization, the event name, date, time, and location, primary contact
information, other participants, appropriate attire, audience, and, if the
event includes a speaking engagement, details on the desired length and topic.
These information forms are included for most but not all events. The number of
pages for each event can range from a single-page letter declining an event to
several folders' worth, particularly in the case of the First Ladies'
Children's Summit, Main Street tours, the President's Summit for America's
Future, and other conferences. |

e-mail addresses (V.T.C.A., Government Code Section 552.137); credit card

other information protected under common law privacy (V.T.C.A., Government Code
