PRESIDENT BUSH'S DAUGHTER PLEADS NO CONTEST

AUSTIN, Texas -- President Bush's 19-year old daughter Jenna pleaded no
contest Wednesday to a charge of being a minor in possession of alcohol,
and must attend alcohol awareness classes.

Jenna Bush was ordered by Austin Community Court Judge Elisabeth Earle to
pay $51.25 in court costs, serve eight hours of community service and
attend six hours of classes.

The maximum penalty was a $500 fine and community service.

She has until July 18 to comply with the court order. If she fails to
comply with the order, a warrant could be issued for her arrest and
driver's license could be suspended.

The University of Texas freshman appeared in court with her attorney,
William P. Allison.

Her discussion at the bench with Earle was difficult to hear, but she did
nod her head several times, and he told her, "Good luck to you, Miss Bush."

Undercover Austin police cited Bush last month, charging her with a Class C
misdemeanor, the lowest level of misdemeanors. The officers issued the
ticket while checking for minors in possession of alcohol at nightclubs
along the popular East Sixth Street entertainment area in downtown Austin.
