Bobby Inman pulling his name
I heard on the news this morning that the White House had informally agreed with Bobby Inman's decision to pull his name from consideration for the Secretary of Defense, but wouldn't have any comment until it was formalized. No explanation of reasons. I guess the CypherPunk lobbyists earned their pay this month <g>. Perhaps some folks didn't like the idea of a career military type taking over what is usually considered a civilian post? ---- davehart@microsoft.com Not a Microsoft spokesperson.

The respons given by Inman was that Bob Dole and the republican cronies were conspiring against him to make sure his nomination was defeated, in order to make Clinton look bad. Actually, it probably is true (I don't trust Dole). Inman will appear on Nightline tonight (11:35 EST) ____ Robert A.

I think what really happened is that our fearless ex-NSA-leader found that he didn't like people invading HIS privacy. Maybe we should send someone to recruit him? Linn H.
