While Ford insisted that his personnel shake-up did not reflect "any weakness" on national defense, U.S. allies and adversaries were confused about what the changes would mean. Though the Soviets have often criticized Schlesinger as an ugly American, Moscow reacted cautiously to his ouster, because Rumsfeld is virtually unknown to them. In contrast, the Chinese officials feared that Schlesinger's firing could produce closer ties between the U.S. and U.S.S.R.

By a 4-to-l margin, the army assembly voted to press for Gonçalves' ouster. So did a similar convocation of air force officers; they backed General Morais da Silva's argument that Gonçalves' appointment "could lead to a dictatorship of the minority."
