- (AFP) - After undergoing his annual medical check-up
in August 2001, 2002 and 2003, US President George W. Bush has put the
procedure off this year until after the November 2 election, his spokesman
said.

- Bush, locked in a neck-and-neck race for the White House
with Democratic Senator John Kerry (news - web sites), is in "great
health" and got the green light for the decision from his doctors,
spokesman Scott McClellan told AFP.

- "This has been a busier travel period for the president
than the previous three years," the spokesman said.

- Bush underwent his three previous physicals as president
in the first week of August in 2001, 2002 and 2003. He was given a clean
bill of health after all three.
