Statement on the Death of Three Secret Service Agents in California
March 5, 1983
It was with profound sadness and sorrow that I learned of the tragic deaths of three special agents of the United States Secret Service who gave their lives today in the service of their country. Pat LaBarge, Don Bejcek, and Don Robinson were professionals in every sense of the word—men whose duty required the utmost in courage and dedication. Nancy and I extend our deepest sympathy to their wives, children, and families.
Note: The agents were killed in an automobile accident as they were traveling to Yosemite National Park, Calif, to join a detail assigned to protect Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom and Prince Philip during their visit there.

A head-on car crash Saturday killed three Secret Service agents
By JOAN GOULDING March 5, 1983
YOSEMITE NATIONAL PARK, Calif. March 5 (UPI) -- -- A head-on car crash Saturday killed three Secret Service agents assigned to protect Queen Elizabeth II as the royal party headed into the snowy Sierra for the weekend.
The queen and Prince Philip went to Yosemite National Park to relax after hosting a wedding anniversary dinner that turned into an intimate late-night champagne party for President and Mrs. Reagan on the royal yacht in San Francisco Bay.
The agents who were killed were part of the detail assigned to protect the queen and Prince Philip during a weekend in the national park. The accident did not involve the royal motorcade, which passed through the area about 30 minutes later, the California Highway Patrol reported.
The dead agents were George P. Labarge, 41, of Dayton, Ohio; Donald W. Robinson, 38, of Newark, N.J.; and Donald A. Bejcek, 29, of Chicago, the Secret Service said.
President Reagan, in a statement from Air Force One, expressed 'profound sadness and sorrow' about the deaths.
The president telephoned each of the agents' wives from Air Force One. There were at least two other injuries, including a sheriff's deputy.
A highway patrol spokesman said a Mariposa County sheriff's patrol car sideswiped a Secret Service car on state highway 132 between La Grange and Coulterville, then continued down the road and crashed head-on into another Secret Service car.
Although the royal motorcade was detoured around the crash scene on a parallel road, photographers in a van following the queen's limousine said the wreckage was clearly visible to the passing royal party.
The queen's physician, traveling in the motorcade, offered his services but was told local authorities had the matter in hand.
The agents killed in the crash had been driving ahead to reach the hotel and sleep before going on duty at midnight, a Secret Service spokesman said.
As the queen viewed the 7,500-foot El Capitan, the world's tallest sheer cliff, in a light rain from Inspiration Point, the royal press spokesman, Michael Shea, told reporters she 'was extremely saddened by the news' of the accident.
The royal couple went by air and car to Yosemite after giving a party Friday night on their yacht Britannia celebrating the Reagans' 31st wedding anniversary, which lasted into the wee hours Saturday morning.
At a reception for 200 following dinner on the yacht Britannia, the Royal Marine Band played 'The Anniversary Waltz' from the pier.
Afterward, a group of about 30 stayed behind with the royal couple, the president and the first lady, said Deputy White House Press Secretary Larry Speakes.
Champagne flowed at the intimate party after the reception for about two hours. Deputy White House Chief of Staff Michael Deaver, wearing a Royal Navy cap he got from a crewman, played the piano and sang 'True Love' for the Reagans.
The Britannia's crew presented the Reagans with a large anniversary card with a cartoon showing the crewmen trying to pull a horse for the Reagans onto the yacht. The cook brought in a cake with one candle and the Reagans blew it out.
Reagan told the group that when he married Nancy, he promised her 'a lot of things, but not this.' He kissed her as the party broke up.
The Reagans spent the night aboard the Britannia, in the suite Princesses Anne and Margaret used on honeymoon voyages, but got to bed late.
'It was a short night,' commented Speakes. He said the president told him he slept 'exceptionally well, but not long enough -- they were knocking on the door early in the morning.'
The Reagans said goodbye to the royal couple in the rain at San Francisco International Airport Saturday morning after playing host to Elizabeth and Philip at affairs in Los Angeles, San Francisco and the president's mountaintop ranch for the past week.
The royal entourage reserved the entire plush Ahwahnee Hotel at Yosemite, where deep snow mantled the mountains and lay in patches about the hotel.
They could expect to be free from engagements and most reporters until Monday.
The hotel is secluded in a valley, with a spectacular view of a 3,000 foot high rock wall formation called 'the royal arches.'
The anniversary party began with dinner for 56 on the Britannia after a fireworks display blazed over San Francisco Bay.
Prince Philip, in a naval dress uniform and decorations, met the Reagans at the gangplank, with an honor guard of U.S. Marines and Royal Navy tars, and led them to the state drawing room, where they were greeted by the queen, wearing a turquoise gown, huge necklace of jewels, a tiara and the royal brooch.
Guests included Secretary of State George Shultz, Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger and Treasury Secretary Donald Regan. Also invited were Senate Majority leader Howard Baker and Reagan's three top White House aides -- James Baker, Edwin Meese and Deaver, who was the president's liaison with the queen all week.
Bad weather, which has plagued the Queen's California visit, returned Saturday after a brief day of sunny skies Friday. Rain drizzled on the royal couple as they left the Britannia for the airport.
The Britannia sailed Saturday for Seattle where it will await the royal couple's arrival Monday.

THE DAILY BEAST

Behind Laura Bush's Car Crash
The former first lady's memoir is hitting bookstores. Ann Louise Bardach talked to her old neighbors about 17-year-old Laura’s grief-stricken seclusion and the breach with the family who lost a son.
Throughout the eight years of her husband’s presidency, the subject of Laura Bush’s role in a deadly car crash when she was a 17-year-old high school senior was considered off limits to the press. With an assist from friendly Texas officials, George W. Bush’s staff prayed the details of her deadly crash would never emerge. For many years, the Midland city attorney and police department blocked the release of the police report of the accident, until lawyers for the tabloid The Globe successfully appealed to the state's attorney general. At the same time, the Bush family cautioned friends and former neighbors to be circumspect in their comments. During the 2000 election run-up, when I reached Billie Ruppe, who lived across from Laura’s family, the Welches, on Humble Ave. in Midland for 25 years, she said quickly, “I’m not going to give you any information till I talk to Laura. I would need to get permission from her.”
"She was a nice girl, she was always very friendly to me as a younger boy on the block." But he also never forgot her wild driving—what he described as her "two-wheeling."
But in her new memoir, Spoken From the Heart, Laura Bush finally discusses the matter (though she acknowledged its impact on her in Ann Gerhart’s biography, The Perfect Wife). “In those awful seconds, the car door must have been flung open by the impact and my body rose in the air until gravity took over and I was pulled, hard and fast, back to earth,” she writes in her new book. The whole time, “I was praying that the person in the other car was alive. In my mind, I was calling ‘Please, God. Please, God. Please, God,’ over and over and over again.”
I interviewed several neighbors and friends of the former Laura Welch between 2000 and 2004 and all described the accident as shattering for young Laura, the family of the victim—indeed, the entire town of Midland. What emerges from the neighborhood is a story brimming with the pathos of a Dreiser novel—one that paints a very different portrait of Laura Welch Bush than the one created by White House strategists.
When asked in 1977 by her husband's grandmother, Dorothy Bush, "What do you do?" Laura answered tartly, "I read and I smoke." And the former First Lady reportedly still enjoys smoking (Winstons) and drinking (margaritas)—though no one has suggested she has a problem. Still, her smoking and margaritas were airbrushed out of the official version of her First Ladyhood—as were her teen years as a vivacious only child from a loving but hard-partying family whose life was irrevocably altered by a carefree, careless moment.
Driving her father’s brand new Chevy Impala on November 6, 1963, Laura Welch ran a stop sign on Farm Road 868 at 8:08 p.m. at 50 m.p.h., plowing into a Corvair sedan driven by Michael Dutton Douglas, the high school’s track and football star, and according to some, a former beau of hers. The impact of the collision hurled Douglas’ car some 50 feet off the road, instantly killing him. Laura and her passenger, schoolmate Judy Dykes, were both treated at the local hospital for their own bruises. It was there she learned that Douglas had died of a broken neck.

Barbara Bush: horrible mother to a tacky family
Nov 11, 2010
Alexander Cockburn
Alexander Cockburn recalls the angry woman who, we now know, showed her son her miscarried foetus
Americans keep odd things up on the mantelpiece, or in the fridge: Dad's ashes in a biscuit tin or, in Barbara Bush's case, the foetus she miscarried, stored in a mason jar. As her eldest son disclosed this week on national TV, she then handed it to the teenaged George Jr, to take to the hospital. "George, honey, could you hold this while I get the car keys."
"What is it, mom?"
I interviewed Barbara Bush in 1979, when George Sr was vainly challenging Ronald Reagan for the Republican nomination. This was a time when her image-handlers were trying to get round the fact that with her defiant white hair she looked like her husband's mother. They sold her as "the Silver Fox" – America's matriarch.
She was horrible. Bitterness seeped out of her like blood from an underdone ribeye. Every banal question elicited a hiss of derision and contempt.
Years later, some time in the middle of George Jr's first term, maybe 2003, I was driving west across Texas and decided to swing north from Interstate 20 and visit Midland, where George Jr was partly raised, as was the lovely Laura Welch.
My intention was to visit the crossroads where on November 6, 1963, two days after her birthday - yes, she's a Scorpio - Laura rammed her Chevy into a Corvair driven by her sometime boyfriend, Michael Douglas, who died in the collision.
My theory was always that he'd stiffed her as her birthday date and when she saw Michael's Corvair - new model, novel in contour - crossing her path on the Texan plain, treeless back then, she'd put the pedal to the metal. Chevys in those days were well built and you know what Ralph Nader said about Corvairs - "unsafe at any speed."
