...Federal government," enabling them to "compete for government business with confidence and success." There was only one thing wrong: the head of the proposed firm, Mary Ann Gilleece, had been Deputy Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition Management since 1983, a job that made her Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger's principal adviser on procuring weapons from defense contractors. Gilleece knew that her job was being phased out, but before leaving the Pentagon, she was attempting to line up clients among the companies she had dealt with as a public official...

McFarlane, Regan and Shultz have ganged up to keep Weinberger back in Washington next week and away from the summit. But even in absentia, Weinberger...
...factor leading to last week's tense encounter was a lobbying effort by Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger and Secretary of State George Shultz, who urged the President to ensure that the proposed cuts would not threaten national security. But geopolitical considerations were partly responsible for the postponement of a showdown. The lawmakers decided that sending Reagan to Geneva with a fiscal default hanging over his head would be unseemly. Before leaving, however, Reagan vetoed an appropriations bill that overshot its targeted limit by $180 million.
