Right place, right time for Rumsfeld
By NEA/London Economist News Service
WASHINGTON - (LENS)
— By temperament and habit
Donald Rumsfeld, the co
ordinator of President Ford’s
White House, is well suited to
exemplify the “candor” that
Ford has adopted as the
hallmark of his style of
government. Warm in
manner, easy in expression,
brisk, approachable,
Rumsfeld has a style distinct
from that of his immediate
predecessors.
He is also a politician whose
accumulated experience is
large for his age, 43, and
whose future prospects can
reasonably be thought bright.
Rumsfeld served six and a
half years as Republican con
gressman from the northern
suburbs of Chicago. Then he
became assistant and
counsellor to President Nixon,
director of the Office of
Economic Opportunity and of
the Cost of Living Council, and
finally ambassador to the
North Atlantic Treaty
Organization, where he was
when Gerald Ford took over
the presidency in August of
last year.
Ford immediately asked
Rumsfeld back to Washington
to lead his transition team.
That done, Rumsfeld returned
to Brussels. But by October,
he was back in Washington in
a more permanent way, hav
ing “very reluctantly”
accepted the post of assistant
to the president, this time to
take charge of the White
House staff.

Chicago, Rumsfeld was
graduated from Princeton and
became a naval airman. After
a while he decided against a
military career and in 1957
became administrative assis
tant to Congressman David
Dennison, (R-Ohio), and then
joined the staff of
Congressman Robert Griffin
(now Republican whip in the
Senate).
In 1960 he went back to
Chicago and into business. As
he recalls, Congessman Peter
Frelinghuysen of New Jersey
advised it, pointing out that
people who counted in
Washington were there
because they represented
somebody or something: “He
advised me to come back
when I found myself in that
position.’’ And so he did, when
the first opportunity
presented itself to fight for
the Republican nomination

and win the congressional
election from the thirteenth
district of Illinois.
While he describes himself
as “conservative essen
tially,” his record does not
altogether fit that of the con
servative politician. He voted
for the Civil Rights Act in
1964. He was active in con
gressional reform. He sup
ported the idea of an all
volunteer army before it
became generally accepted.
He advocated greater access
for the public to government
information.
Still, it was a conservative
outlook combined with
political pragmatism that
brought him to the fore in the
first Nixon Administration.
He was in his fourth term in
Congress and his district was
considered safe. But his in
volvement in an unsuccessful
move to displace Les Arends
as minority whip and in
another, successful, one
against Charles Halleck as
minority leader won him
enough resentment from the
Republican old guard in the
House to block his advance
ment there. He was ready to
leave Congress by 1969.
He agreed to give up his
seat when President Nixon
offered him, in addition to the
job of running the Office of
Economic Opportunity, an ap
pointment as assistant to the
president, cabinet rank, and
membership of the Domestic
Council.

portunity, the poverty agency,

White House, and Rumsfeld
also drew criticism from the
defenders of the poverty
program when he sacked
Terry Lenzner, the national
director of the agency’s legal
services, in a manner that
suggested political pressure
from Nixon’s private circle.
His defense was that running
the agency was a matter of
“management, not politics.”
As the pressure of politics
grew, he withdrew to his other
functions in his White House
post. In 1971 Nixon, who had
suddenly adopted an incomes
policy, made him director of
the Cost of Living Council,
where he decidedly had to
keep clear of politics and
devote himself to manage
ment.
The job kept him at a dis
tance from the 1972 re
election campaign, and that
may have been an advantage.
In the reorganization of the
Nixon Administration that
followed the election he was
released from bondage and
appointed ambassador to
NATO, and so when the
Watergate events began to un
fold he was away in Brussels.
He came back to serve a new
president.
Ford first noticed Rumsfeld
in 1963, when, as a freshman
congressman, he helped Ford
to win a place on the House
Republican conference com
mittee. Rumsfeld supported
Ford again in 1965 to unseat
Halleck as Republican leader
in the House.
Nearly 10 years later, Ford
was unexpectedly president.
He needed somebody to es
tablish an orderly decision
process in the White House,
which President Nixon’s
chain-of-command was not.
Rumsfeld is usually
credited with great
shrewdness in making his
career choices. He gives the
credit to chance. “There has
been no grand design,” he
says, and he describes his
future as “a great blur.” He
still thinks he wants “to get
out of this business,” meaning
the White House.
There is no sign that any
such thing is imminent,
though some rumors would
have him, for instance,
replacing James Schlesinger
at the Defense Department
or, even less probably, aspir
ing to the vice presidency.
Ford had mentioned the
possibility of nominating
Rumsfeld for the vice
presidency last year before
Nelson Rockefeller was con
firmed. But it seems unlikely
that he would now seek that
office from his present staff
position in the White House.
He has by no means ruled
out returning to the search for
elective office. The first step
back would have to be to re
establish himself in his home
state, Illinois; he could seek
the governorship there in 1976,
or the Senate seat now held by
Sen. Adlai Stevenson in 1980.
