In a show of support, President Bush will give House Republican leader Tom DeLay a ride to Washington from Galveston after both attend an event on Bush's Social Security plan today, a White House spokesman said.
DeLay is facing stiff criticism over allegations that he violated ethics rules by allowing lobbyists to pay for some of his overseas travel, including a May 2000 trip to Britain that included golf at the St. Andrews golf course in Scotland.
