Controversial gas deal involved Bush's brother Neil

[No Mandate Here.]

Quintana Island, Texas -- When President Bush came into office in 2001, it was a boom time for the energy industry. And one of the many boats lifted was that of a small Texas company in which the president's brother played an important role.

That sent developers in south Texas scrambling to lock up property for the facilities. One firm looking for a foothold was Crest Investment Co. The firm had no experience running an LNG processing facility, but it did have a highly recognizable name: Crest's co-chairman was the president's brother Neil.

One site that generated particular interest was Quintana Island, near Freeport in the Texas Gulf. The long, narrow island is home to the town of Quintana, population 40; a bird sanctuary, miles of beach and a brand-new bridge connecting it to the mainland. Most importantly, it is near a deep- water channel that makes it cargo ship-accessible.

When completed, the pipelines, holding facilities and other structures will cover about one quarter of Quintana Island -- and annual payments of $2 million to Neil Bush's friends and other stakeholders in Crest Investments will begin.
