Reagan's Cabinet appointments, however, are still a matter of speculation. George Shultz was widely mentioned as a possible Secretary of State, but is taking so active a role in coordinating Reagan's economic-policy advice that he now seems more likely to become Secretary of the Treasury, a job he held under President Nixon, or chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers...
Secretary of State. George Shultz, who served as Secretary of Labor and then the Treasury under Nixon, is favored for the post. Shultz has had considerable experience in government and the academic world, and is now vice chairman of Bechtel Inc., the giant construction company. Shultz has never held a diplomatic post, but a Reagan adviser notes that "diplomacy is applied common sense." Another possibility for State: General Alexander Haig, who as chief of NATO demonstrated diplomatic ability, as well as a firm grasp of geopolitics...

Anderson's economic advisers are relative unknowns. His main aide is Robert Walker, a legislative assistant on his congressional staff...

The panels included Alan Greenspan, former chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers and a member of TIME's Board of Economists, George Shultz, former Secretary of the Treasury, and Charls Walker, a leading tax expert. The group is sometimes joined by Arthur Burns, conservative chairman of the Federal Reserve Board from 1970 to 1978. The advisers acknowledge that the extra revenues generated by speedier economic growth will not offset the impact...
