 WASHINGTON (AP) - Laura Bush is canceling a scheduled appearance Saturday in Indiana to attend Lady Bird Johnson's funeral.
The first lady will attend the services in Austin, Texas, with her mother-in-law, former first lady Barbara Bush, her office said Thursday. Mrs. Johnson is to lie in repose at the Lyndon B. Johnson Library and Museum on Friday and Saturday, until a private funeral and burial in the Johnson family cemetery.
Laura Bush had been planning to speak Saturday at the commencement exercises for the University of Notre Dame's Alliance for Catholic Education. The school provides teachers to under-resourced Catholic elementary and secondary schools in the South.
