State Department Eyes Major Role in Economic Policy
Washington AP The State Department argues it is winning ground against Commerce and Treasury efforts to seize control of foreign economic policy.

The move follows changes in leadership, with Peter Peterson at Commerce and the exit of John Connally. The White House reportedly weighs creating an independent trade office, while Magnuson delays action on his proposed International Commerce Service until the review concludes.
