He resigned as chairman of Zapata in 1966 when he was elected to the house of representatives.

Dont know about his portfolio.

Bush ran for the US Senate in 1964 and lost; he continued as president of Zapata Off-Shore until 1966, when he sold his interest to his business partner, Robert Gow, and ran for the US House of Representatives.

Zapata's filing records with the US Securities and Exchange Commission are intact for the years 1955-1959, and again from 1967 onwards. However, records for the years 1960-1966 are missing.
