Nixon's co-ordinators lack a unifying domestic master
Washington columnist Bruce Biossat reports that the Nixon White House has many co-ordinators but no single figure with broad recognition, policy heft, and the administrative drive to implement major domestic policy. Ehrlichman lacks deep policy mastery. Burns is a skilled economist but not a top policy enforcer. Moynihan’s ideas unify think but he is not a formal coordinator. The council system provides discussion but little decisive policy. If no internal rise to prominence occurs, Nixon may seek an external domestic coordinator.
