The video filmed on Jan. 8, 1992, shows Bush, then aged 67, falling ill at a state dinner hosted by Prime Minister Kiichi Miyazawa in Tokyo.
C-SPAN footage from Jan. 10, 1992 shows Bush interacting with reporters aboard Air Force One on his return to the U.S. (here).
The footage shows former U.S. President George H.W.
