California IN BRIEF : SIMI VALLEY : George Shultz Joins Reagan Library Unit
Former Secretary of State George P. Shultz has joined the foundation board of trustees that raised $60 million to build the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library, a Reagan spokeswoman announced Monday. Shultz, a distinguished fellow at Stanford University’s Hoover Institution, accepted the board’s appointment last week and began his six-year term, Cathy Goldberg said. Former Reagan White House aide Martin Anderson said Shultz’s appointment should ease concerns about the leadership on the board that has finished the library but has yet to set up a conservative think-tank on library grounds. The board recently dumped Anderson and longtime Reagan associates Edwin Meese III and William P. Clark. Former Energy Secretary John Herrington resigned in protest.
