if Bush was in the CIA at the time it must have been deep deep deep undercover... In 1954 he was named president of the Zapata Offshore Company, a subsidiary which specialized in offshore drilling.
In 1959, shortly after the subsidiary became independent, Bush moved the company and his family from Midland to Houston.[18] He continued serving as president of the company until 1964, and later chairman until 1966
Just from Wikipedia:
According to a CIA internal memo dated November 29, 1975,[2] Zapata Petroleum began in 1953 through Bush’s joint efforts with Thomas J. Devine, a CIA staffer who had resigned his agency position that same year to go into private business, but who continued to work for the CIA under commercial cover. Devine would later accompany Bush to Vietnam in late 1967 as a “cleared and witting commercial asset” of the agency, acted as his informal foreign affairs advisor, and had a close relationship with him through 1975.[3]
Why exactly are there internal memos about Zapata in the CIA?
