Washington Outlook: CAPITAL WRAPUP

A BIG BUNDLE FOR BUSH

Texas Governor George W. Bush has more than $13 million on hand for an expected reelection romp against cash-strapped Land Commissioner Garry Mauro. But that's not stopping Washington lobbyists from throwing money at the potential Presidential candidate. Bush had planned a June 18 fund-raiser at a private Washington home for 40 couples.
