Bush to serve a four-year term as the director of the Community Relations Service (CRS) at the US Department of Justice (DOJ), where he oversaw multilateral mediations and resolutions of many national crises involving civil unrest, violence, destruction of property and allegations of discrimination, e.g., the Jena 6 and post-9/11 incidents.
