Crisis team cruises past trio of foreign dangers
Reagan's crisis management team, seasoned by bickering, handled three major foreign policy tests last week. Haig was absent due to an ethics probe while Allen faced scrutiny, yet the administration reported smooth coordination with Nance praised for leading NSC efforts and Bush/Baker directing operations. The Poland crackdown, Israeli Golan Heights seizure, and Libyan tensions were managed through a phased, cautious approach with a new Special Situation Group coordinating across White House, State, Pentagon, CIA, and Treasury.
