President's younger brother served with then-cardinal on board of
relatively unknown ecumenical foundation

WASHINGTON -- Neil Bush, the president's controversial younger brother,
six years ago joined the cardinal who this week became Pope Benedict XVI
as a founding board member of a little known Swiss ecumenical foundation.

Of interest
In his highly publicized divorce last year, Bush revealed he and Daniel
are co-chairs of Texas-based Crest Investment Co., which pays him
$60,000 a year for consulting. Recently, Crest Investment officials used
Bush's name as a reference in cutting an exclusive deal with Texas
officials on construction of a liquid natural gas storage facility that
will guarantee Crest payments of at least $2 million a year, according
to the Los Angeles Times.

In the divorce proceedings, Bush also revealed that while he was in a
hotel in Asia, women on at least three occasions came into his room and
had sex with him. Daniel hosted Bush's second wedding at his home.

Daniel reportedly became acquainted with Bush in 1991, the year the
federal Office of Thrift Supervision sanctioned Bush for having
"multiple conflicts of interest" in his role as a director of Silverado
Savings and Loan, a Colorado thrift whose failure cost taxpayers $1.3
billion. Bush paid $50,000 in a settlement.
