...Allen, his National Security Adviser, was scheduled to brief Reagan before this week's trip to Ciudad Juarez to meet Mexican President López Portillo. But the most pressing business was to finish naming his Cabinet. Unlike Carter, who filled his Cabinet by Christmas four years ago, Rea gan has been unable to decide on a Secretary of Education and a special trade representative. Several people have turned down Education, a department that Reagan favors dismantling. Said the President-elect: "I think we've sought a few people that just weren't interested in Government service...

He tolerates it. He's going to have to answer to the American people for it." Rea gan still plans to devote much of his remaining time to five key states: Ohio, Illinois, Pennsylvania, Texas and Florida, which have 121 of the 270 electoral votes he needs to win. If Anderson can main tain 10% in the polls, Reagan figures he has the edge in electoral votes...
