In 1990, Bolivian President Jaime Paz Zamora gave George H.W. Bush a family heirloom cross.
Bush would only accept it under one condition: if he could return it if either of Paz Zamora's sons became president.
Thirty-six years later, Secretary Rubio returned it to President Rodrigo Paz Pereira. 🇺🇸🇧🇴

This is one of my favorite anecdotes from this job. 36 years ago, President George HW Bush received the President of Bolivia, Jaime Paz (accompanied by his young sons) at the White House, and Paz gave Bush a golden family cross. Bush wrote Paz a characteristically gracious thank-you note and said that he would give instructions to return the family heirloom when one of the Paz boys became President. As fate would have it, one of them, Rodrigo Paz, was elected President of Bolivia last year. The Bush Library promptly contacted us, and yesterday in Doral @SecRubio returned the cross to the new President Paz with a copy of the note. And the best part? President Rodrigo Paz was able to share this story with his now 86-year-old father. Kudos to all, especially the @Bush41Library. Promises made, promises kept! 🇺🇸🤝🇧🇴

As first lady, Barbara Bush made literacy her primary initiative, believing that the ability to read was foundational to opportunity, equality, and dignity.
Just weeks into George H.W. Bush’s presidency, she launched the Barbara Bush Foundation for Family Literacy, focusing on breaking the cycle of illiteracy by educating parents and children together.

When he was teased about short hopping the throw, he replied,
"That's what happens when you throw wearing a steel vest."
