President Bush loans under new scrutiny
President Bush faced scrutiny over low interest loans totaling 180,375 dollars from Harken Energy Corp during the 1980s while he was a director. The arrangements, at 5 percent interest, allowed eight years without principal repayment and were used to buy stock. Bush said he would halt such deals and did not profit, with debt retired by trading collateral shares for unexercised options.
