Bush launches post-presidential office
President Bush is naming a high-powered staff to launch him on a productive post-presidency that, at least at first, will be busy behind the scenes and quiet on the surface.
The Office of George W. Bush will be in Dallas, near his presidential library at Southern Methodist University.
The president plans to write a book, give speeches, help build his presidential library and start a “freedom institute” to prolong his legacy, with a special emphasis on his “freedom agenda” of promoting democracy for the Middle East.
The chief of staff will be Michael E. Meece, a lawyer and former White House and Commerce Department official who is president of The Meece Group, a Washington consulting firm.
Meece has long ties to key figures throughout Bush’s world, including former Commerce Secretary Don Evans, White House counselor Ed Gillespie, former counselor Dan Bartlett and former senior adviser Karl Rove.
