For President Bush, the first family and Bush's top
aides, the most generous foreign leader last year - by far - was Saudi
Crown Prince Abdullah. The State Department's annual tally of gifts to
administration officials shows that Abdullah gave them $127,600 in
jewelry and other presents last year, including a diamond-and-sapphire
jewelry set for first lady Laura Bush that was valued at $95,500. The
Saudi royal family's gifts dwarfed those of other world leaders,
according to the tally, and easily eclipsed Abdullah's $55,020 in gifts
in 2002. [more]
