Bushes at Camp David for Holiday
WASHINGTON — President-elect George Bush headed for the White House retreat at Camp David, Md., on Friday for a long holiday weekend, leaving two Cabinet-level jobs unfilled as he enters the new year.
Bush and his wife, Barbara, planned to relax in seclusion until late Monday, aides said. No staff or advisers were slated to accompany them, and there were no plans for family members to join them, spokeswoman Kristine Taylor said.
Taylor said that President Reagan, who is in California for the holiday, offered Bush the use of the Catoctin Mountains retreat and that the Bushes decided to accept.
No announcements were expected before Tuesday on Bush’s choices for energy secretary and the new Cabinet-rank post of drug czar, said David Prosperi, spokesman for the Bush transition team.
