Reagan Accepts Resignations of Synfuels Corp Board
President Reagan accepted the resignations of all Synthetic Fuels Corp board members including chairman John Sawhill on Jan 7, signaling a shift away from the Carter era energy program. The move follows Reagan’s plan to shrink the program and reduce government involvement in private enterprise, with Stockman forecasting budget cuts and questions over 1987 and 1992 production goals. Also stepping down were AFL-CIO chair Lane Kirkland and four other nominees, all appointed by Carter but blocked in the Senate amid election-year politics.
