White House Press Corps Kept Cool In Crawford During Bush’s Summer Visit
CRAWFORD, TX — This year the White House Press Corps covering President George Bush’s 30-day August working vacation in Crawford found themselves in a “more comfortable setting than last year,” according to a Tempstar news release. The reason? Two 20-ton Tempstar commercial air conditioners.
In the past, the Crawford Elementary School gymnasium was usually used for press conferences, but if the weather was too hot, the conferences were held outside. Thanks to the new A/C system, the conferences can now be comfortably staged indoors during the hottest days of August.
