(openPR) - Berlin (May 8, 2008) - George H. W. Bush will be the recipient of the annual Henry A. Kissinger Prize, the American Academy in Berlin announced today. The award ceremony will take place on July 3, 2008.
Former President Bush and Dr. Kissinger will both attend. The award will be presented by the Chairman of the American Academy in Berlin, Richard C.
