Shultz Quietly Steers Foreign Policy From Behind The Scenes
Washington reports that Secretary of State George P. Shultz has quietly steadied U S foreign policy in Reagan's shadow. He drafts plans, coordinates with the White House, and avoids Haig style public confrontations while pursuing peace efforts with the Arabs and negotiations over Soviet pipeline disputes. A mix of praise and concern follows his restrained, cautious approach and close work with the president and national security adviser.
