institutions, cities, counties and business leaders supporting and promoting Texas Tech University (TTU) in Lubbock, Texas, as the site
for the George Walker Bush Presidential Library. In October, TTU was chosen as one of the four finalist sites along with Baylor
University, Southern Methodist University and the University of Dallas.
