Gerald Ford, Nixon's successor, appointed Bush to be Chief of the U.S. Liaison Office in the People's Republic of China. Since the United States at the time maintained official relations with the Republic of China on Taiwan and not the People's Republic of China, the Liaison Office did not have the official status of an embassy and Bush did not formally hold the position of "ambassador", though he unofficially acted as one. The 14 months that he spent in China were largely seen as beneficial for U.S.-China relations.[13]
In 1976 Ford brought Bush back to Washington to become Director of Central Intelligence (DCI), replacing William Colby.[31] He served in this role for 357 days, from January 30, 1976, to January 20, 1977.[32] The CIA had been rocked by a series of revelations, including those based on investigations by the Church Committee regarding illegal and unauthorized activities by the CIA, and Bush was credited with helping to restore the agency's morale.
LONG BEACH DESK - The Long Beach Naval Station was tentatively placed on the Military Base Closure-List by president George Bush in 1991. President Bill Clinton, closed the naval base last in 1993. That resulted in the loss to Long Beach, California of 17,500 military and civilian jobs. The economic impact of the of loss was $52.5 million and drove the California economy into the tank. It has never recovered.
Between 1995-1996, during the heat of the Clinton-Gore Campaign fund raising activity, the Clinton administration actively intervened to make sure a Communist Chinese cargo container shipping interest got a too-good deal on a Long Beach, California, shipping terminal.
Why Does the U.S. Allow Chinese to Control Port Terminals?

interesting you say that.....the mental health system in this country is no doubt just as bad...my ex had a few issues (ok a lot of issues) and when she wigged out and was taken down to the mental health section at the hospital she would be observed and then released upon calming down...she was smart enough to know how to answer the psych to be released but she was just faking being ok....a few times she was taken in more than once in a day....

As an officer I absolutely do not believe that an event the magnitude of SH could be staged and kept silent.
