mrs. bush would say people would look at mrs. johnson and would say she loved flowers. she was our nations first convert -- conservationist first lady. her presence and when recollection i have of mrs. johnson which is seared in my memory, she had called me when i was chief of staff to mrs. bush and said, i'm bringing my mother to washington for what i know will be her last time. she wants to see her friends. she had had a stroke. she was not speaking and was in a wheelchair. she was still vibrant. she said, do you think we could come to the white house? i knew laura bush is reaction would be of course. i never answer for anything without talking to her first but i knew the answer would be yes. i will call you back with dates and times that could work. mrs. bush was so thrilled to have mrs. johnson come to the white house that she can take the former first lady through the white house. mrs. bush had made sure that any of the residents staff that were still working in the white house that had be

and so mrs. bush had made sure that any of the resident's staff that were still working in the white house that had been there in the johnson time were there to greet mrs. johnson at the diplomatic reception room door when she stepped in. and in addition, one of the butlers that had worked for the johnsons, mr. german, was now a part-time elevator operator, operated the president's elevator in the white house, just a few days a week, mrs. bush made sure that he was there and that he was the one that greeted mrs. johnson when the door was opened of the car for her to get out. and the way that mrs. johnson reached up in recognition to embrace mr. german and how he embraced her, is really would just make you weep. but would also, the two last things that i'll just say about mrs. johnson's visit, her last visit to the white house, is, mrs. bush wheeled her into the vermeil room on the ground floor, which had just been repainted under one of the restoration projects that mrs. bush did, thanks to the white

but mrs. bush called me and told me how thrilled she was that i would be working for her husband and then she gave me the list of a set of t instructions which i cherished. the most important was that every time you go to a hotel and gather up all the shampoos and soaps and everything, put them in a bag and bring them to her. she took all this stuff to a homeless shelter on her own. she figured she wanted -- she had tags this big. barbara bush was an extraordinary person i thought. i found her veryy funny but she couldn't tolerate being singled out and praised. one time for instance the day before the election i said to igeorge bush, you know you were going to win, don't you? admit it. he said no, i don't know that and he started to walk away and he saidil but i will tell you something if i do win this country is going to fall in love with barbara bush. he was right. you have seen the black pearl necklace and a poster that is up on highways now. she's an extraordinary woman. the staff was afraid of

as a tribute. >> i came to understand after i left the white house mrs. bush and mrs. reagan were not terribly close. but i have to honestly tell you i had no sense of that while i work there. you have to know that nancy reagan she'd treat staff professionally and does not gossip. i had no idea the first idea i honestly had one the first plane trip i took with george hw trip -- bush on the plane he said right in the limo with me. he said what is the problem between nancy and my wife? i said what you talking about he said they don't get along and i said honestly i have never thought that i never knew that in the subject never came up again. but the flesh called me and told me how thrilled he was i was working for and then she gave me the list of the best instruction which i cherish the most important one every time you go to a hotel gather up all the shampoos and soaps. [laughter] put them in a bag and taken to her she took all those to a homeless shelter on her own but he figured she had bagged the bag that mom -- this big but i that she was extraordinary i found her v

>> guest: not yet, i'm so glad that you mentioned mrs. bush, librarians have a strong affinity with her, she's the first lady to be a librarian and she started book festival, a book festival in texas when she was the first lady of texas and then when she became the first lady of the nation, she started the national book festival and we hoped that she'll be able to when we have an anniversary coming up that she'll be able to be with us. >> host: this is the 18th, are you looking at the 20th -- >> guest: we are definitely looking at the 20th, because it meant so much for her to start that right here in washington, d.c. and the state book festivals are being replicated, the mississippi book festival was modeled after the texas and so different states are having so we have a lot to be grateful for with mrs. bush. >> c-span book tv covers several of book fairs live throughout the year, dr. carla hayden, what's on your reading list currently? >> guest: well, i'm trying to catch up and i have the paper of different authors that are coming, i have joh

for the benefit of the committee, i think mr. bush, over the weekend, circulated an e-mail relating to a topic, and i had requested that the members not respond to mr. bush's e-mail because we had been told by the city attorney's office that an e-mail being circulated to all members may be deemed to be a public meeting of sorts. so can i please request the city attorney's office to comment on that and to train us as to what we should or should not be doing if one member is circulating an entire e-mail soliciting discussion on a topic to all members. >> this is mark blake, deputy city attorney. i think that the issue really is just kind of more of a process of it. it's okay for members to circulate commentary as long as it goes through your work or your secretary, and that that document be made available at your next meeting and it's a source of discussion at the meeting, but there should not be back and forth between the committee members about that item prior to the meeting. i think a direct communication in some ways promotes kind o

. >> my observation, mr. bushis that while -- while the points you make are worthy to be explored. i also heard mr. carlson's comments reminding this committee our very specific function as related to what, you know -- relating to our responsibility. so i -- my comment and my take is that while these may be varied issues, and the timing, mr. bush, you mentioned, i think this may be a time for the city -- some aspects of city government to be looking at this, but i don't really think goboc is the best vehicle to explore these because our mandate is very specific. so i think if you have a wish to explore these changes to c.s.a.'s function, this -- this is not the right venue to do so. i think you go to the board of supervisors to change these -- these responsibilities or to increase these additional aspects of audit and performance done by the controller's office. >> i don't see anything in the charter that precludes us from taking these steps. i think that you're taking a very limited view of what the language -- i
