Nimmo A VA Chief Becomes Political Liability For Reagan
The Veterans Administration head Robert P. Nimmo emerges as a public relations problem for President Reagan. He faced criticism for comparing Agent Orange to acne, spending over 50 thousand dollars to refurbish his office, freezing VA hospital construction, and denying staff an hour off for a Vietnam memorial ceremony. He later reimbursed 6441 dollars for chauffeur overtime and announced disposing of a costly Buick lease. Veterans groups and lawmakers press for Nimmo’s departure as deputy administrator Hagel contemplates resignation over policy clashes.
