Ronald Reagan-- Jim Shaw reports that President Reagan was brought into the Lodge while in office. The official Masonic line is, "President Reagan is not a Freemason although he is an honourary member of the Imperial Council of the Shrine. President Reagan has on numerous occasions been involved in Shrine and Masonic functions throughout his career. In the Oval Office of the White House on February 11th, 1988, when a group of Freemasons presented President Reagan with a certificate of honour from the Grand Lodge of Washington, D.C., then he was made an Honourary Scottish Rite mason." It was at this event that Jim Shaw claims that "a world famous evengelist" was also oathed into Masonic degrees. Jim Shaw was iced shortly after publishing his claims in a book.
Bush Sr- Some draw an association with his use of the phrase "new world order" in a 11 September, 1990 televised address to a joint session of Congress, but no regular lodge is on record as having initiated either him or his son, USA President George W. Bush. He was a member of the Skull and Bones fraternity at Yale University; which has certain superficial elements in common with Freemasonry, of which the principal one might be summarized in their motto, "memento mori".
