overall, image 5x7 (one surface). Caspar W. Weinberger (1917-2006), a
former California legislator and Aide to then-Governor Ronald
Reagan, came to Washington in 1970 and quickly established himself as a
capable administrator and influential policymaker under Presidents Nixon and
Ford. His posts included Chairmanship of the Federal Trade Commission
(1970), Director of the Office of Management and Budget (1972-1973) and
Secretary of Health Education and Welfare (1973-1975). After a period in
the private sector as Vice President of Bechtel (1975-1980), he became
Secretary of Defense (1981-1987) under President Reagan, strongly
supporting the military buildup of that decade. Although he had long opposed
arms sales to Iran, Weinberger was indicted in the "Iran-Contra" affair
but pardoned by President Bush (1990). Top and bottom edges lightly rippled.
Lightly toned. Otherwise, fine condition.
