...clients who resist agency proposals, they are often labeled as "un-insightful," assigned low priorities for job programs and all but written off as hopeless cases.

He would be giving up one of the safest seats in Congress: his constituents had sent him to Congress four straight times. But, argued the White House, running OEO will be only a portion of his responsibility. Rumsfeld will also have full Cabinet status and be a presidential assistant (salary: $42,500, equal to congressional pay). Finally, he will sit on Pat Moynihan...
