INTRODUCING SEC'Y OF LABOR GEORGE
SHULTZ
Lincoln Dinner, G.R., 2/11/70
OF ALL THE DEPARTMENTS IN THE FEDERAL GO VERNMENT
THE DEPARTMENT OF LABOR IS THE ONE PERHAPS
MOST APTLY NAMED. THE MAN WHO IS NAMED TO
HEAD UP THE LABOR DEPARTMENT REALLY WORKS AT
THE JOB. AND THE MAN WE HAVE W ITH US TONIGHT
WORKS AT IT HARDER THAN MOST. BUT AT THE SAME
2/ SHULTZ
TIME HE GIVES
THE APPEARANCE OF BEING
COMPLETELY UNPERTURBED AND ALWAYS IN COMMEND
OF THE
SITUATION. HE IS, IN MY
VIEW, THE MR. COOL OF THE NIXON ADMINISTRATION
GEORGE SHULTZ IS A PROFESSOR OF
FORD is LIBRARY GERALD
INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS, A LABOR ARBITRATOR,
AN AUTHOR AND A PUBLIC SERVANT. IT IS AS
ALL OF THESE, BUT PRIMARILY AS A PUBLIC
3/ SHULTZ
SERVANT THAT HE
COMES TO YOU TONIGHT.
HMT
GEORGE IS A NEW YORKER, BUT
AS FAR
AS I KNOW HE HAS NE VER GIVEN MAYOR LINDSAY
ANY PROBLEMS. GEORGE
E
HOLDS A
BACHELOR'S DEGREE, CUM LAUDE, FROM PRINCETON
UNIVERSITY, AND GOT HIS DOCTOR'S DEGREE FROM
M.I.T. 1949. HE SERVED WITH THE
04/ SHULTZ
MARINE CORPS DURING WORLD WAR 2, AND LEFT THE CORPS
AS A MAJOR. HE TAUGHT AT M.I.T. FROM 1948 to 1957,
THEN BECANE PROFESSOR OF INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS AT
THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO'S GRADUATE SCHOOL OF
BUSINESS. HE WAS THE SCHOOL'S DEAN FROM 1962 UNTIL
FORD
HIS APPOINTMENT AS SECRETARY OF LABOR. HE HAS
RA
SERVED THREE PRESIDENTS AND THREE SECRETARIES OF
LIBRAR
LABOR IN A VARIETY OF CAPACITIES AND HAS AUTHORED OR
5/ SHULTZ
EDITED SIX BOOKS. IN 1969 THE
JUNIOR CHAMBER
OF COMMERCE PICKED HIM AS THE 'CHICAGOAN OF THE YEAR.
1
IT IS FOR GOOD REASON THAT I CALL SECRETARY SHULTZ
'A COOL COOKIE.
1
OUR NATION HAS ENJOYED RELATIVE
LABOR PEACE SINCE HE BECAME SECRETARY OF LABOR.
I
DARE TO SAY THIS EVEN NOW WHEN A RAILROAD STRIKE
TH
REATENS BECAUSE I HAVE THE GREATEST OF CONFIDENCE
IN GEORGE SHULTZ.
61
SEN SHULTZ
HE IS NOT A POLITICIAN, AND MAYBE THAT IS ONE OF
HIS
STRENGTHS,
CERTAINLY IT IS AN ASSET IN A
SECRETARY OF LABOR. HE IS
WHAT IS
KNOWN AS A SQUARE SHOOTER.
BUT ALTHOUGH HE IS
NOT A POLITICIAN
RALO R. AND FORD LIBRAR
ALTHOUGH THIS IS A POLITICAL DINNER. I AM SURE YOU
7/ SHULTZ
WILL GREATLY ENJOYM WHATE VER HE HAS TO SAY HERE
TONIGHT. I NOW GIVE YOU THE MR. COOL OF THE NIXON
CABINET, THE IMPERTURBABLE GEORGE P. SHULTZ,
SECRETARY OF IABOR EXTRAORDINARY.
SECRETARY
SHULTZ.
