DALLAS - Anti-drunken-driving crusaders in Texas say they've known for five years about George W. Bush's drunk driving arrest - but they didn't know the details.
"I gathered it happened a long time ago . . . It was sort of common knowledge," said Bill Lewis, state public-policy liaison for Mothers Against Drunk Driving.

An official of the Irving, Texas-based national organization heard about the arrest from someone on Bush's staff in 1995, early in his first term as Texas governor.

"We knew that he had been arrested for DWI," Lewis said. "But we didn't know the details, that it happened in Maine."

MADD national president Millie I. Webb said she appreciated Bush's support of anti-drunken-driving legislation in Texas, and hoped he had learned from his arrest. "We recognize that people can change," Webb said.
