GLEN ELLYN, Illinois -- Aides to Texas Gov. George W. Bush
acknowledged Thursday that in 1976 Bush was arrested for driving under
the influence of alcohol in Kennebunkport, Maine.
Bush, who was 30 at the time, paid a $150 fine and his driving privileges
were temporarily suspended in that state.
Responding to a news report about the arrest just five days before the
presidential election, one aide here said, "We obviously believe the timing
of this disclosure is political. It was leaked with the intent of hurting the
governor."
Campaign officials for Democratic presidential candidate Al Gore declined
to comment.
"It's not something he's proud of," Bush spokeswoman Mindy Tucker said,
explaining why Bush had not come forward with the information on his own.
Bush was pulled over by police for driving too slowly near his family's
Kennebunkport, Maine, summer home during the Labor Day weekend.
Other people were in the car, but Tucker did not know who.
The GOP presidential nominee has said he quit drinking the day after his
40th birthday -- July 6, 1986. Alcohol "was beginning to compete for my
affections," he told an interviewer in September.
His presidential campaign said Thursday they decided to release details
after the 1976 police report was faxed to Maine news outlets.
CNN Correspondent Candy Crowley and The Associated Press
