Federal regulators said today that Neil Bush could face a lifetime prohibition against serving on the boards of federally insured banks and savings and loan institutions as a result of next week’s public hearing in Denver. Mr. Bush, the President’s son, is charged by the Office of Thrift Supervision with conflicts of interest involving two business partners who were big borrowers and preferred stockholders of the Silverado Banking, Savings and Loan Association of Denver. Mr. Bush was a Silverado director for three years, ending in August 1988. Federal regulators have asked for a cease-and-desist order against Mr. Bush, which would require that he avoid any future conflicts of interest similar to those they have found objectionable. But Harris Weinstein, chief counsel of the thrift office, told reporters that ”it could lead to a prohibition” against any future service in the savings industry if the evidence prompts the agency’s director and the administrative law judge in the case to recommend it.
