​GOP 1990/1991
​Full-Time Political Appointments 

 GOP 1990 full-time political appointments: One State and One Federal 

Serving the government full-time during her academic leave from the University of Houston/Clear Lake was considered an honor and a challenging career path for Dr. Lee. Her appointment by the Republican Governor Bill Clements to serve on the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles as a board member in January 1990. Unexpectedly, she was appointed to serve on the US Dept. of Education as the deputy director of Office of Bilingual Education and Minority Language Affairs (OBEMLA). As a result, she left Texas and began her new appointment in July after her return from an official visit to South Africa as invited by their Ministry of Foreign Affairs.  The introductions to both of her appointments can be found in two separate sections.

A Note from President Bush on July 11, 1991

​​Dear Esther,
Now that the Economy summit is history, the whole world knows that Texas hospitality is like. Thanks for serving on the Host-committee and thanks for your part in making this major event so successful.

Barbara and I are deeply grateful.

Sincerely,
G. Bush
