Bush Begins 3 Week Maine Vacation
President Bush starts a three week seaside vacation in Kennebunkport visiting with family and entertaining two world leaders. He arrived after a Miami trip where he campaigned for Teena Ros-Lehtinen. The White House said the visits with Mulroney and Schluter would be personal. A Sept. 5 national address will outline a new drug abuse strategy, with details to be finalized after Cabinet review. The plan will push harsher enforcement and may condition highway funding on state policy.
