Marvin sat on the boards of both HCC and Securacom/Stratesec at the same time, and both companies had a commercial interest in the World Trade Center complex. This information is required to be disclosed through SEC proxy filings but was not http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1037453/0000928385-99-001383.txt http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/888919/0001047469-99-016818.txt. The proxy for Stratesec also omitted Marvin Bush's directorship at Fresh Del Monte Produce (FDP), a company run by Mohammed Abu-Ghazalehhttp://www.freshdelmonte.com/content.cfm?pageID=56, who has a business background in several middle eastern countries, including the United Arab Emirates and Kuwait. No SEC investigations into the omission of the required proxy disclosures are publicly known.

There is mounting anticipation that Marvin will follow in the family tradition of public service. With his father being a former president, his brother George w. a two-term president, and his brother Jeb a governor, rumors abound that Marvin will take his place on the national political scene.

Over the past decade, Marvin has engaged in a multitude of campaign and fundraising events. His brothers George and Jeb were both established businessmen prior to seeking public office. Now that Marvin has achieved success in business, and is a multi-millionaire, a run for political office is foreseeable.
