AIDES COULD BE WHITE HOUSE ADVISERS
Reagan's inner circle

DETROIT (AP) - The tight circle of
aides who stood at Ronald Reagan's
side at the Republican National Con-
vention as he claimed his prize and
chose his running mate are the men
who are likely to form his inner circle of
advisers if Reagan becomes president
in January 1981.
Like Jimmy Carter, who brought to
Washington many of the Georgians who
had advised him as governor, Reagan

would likely bring to the White House
Californians who had worked at his side
in Sacramento.
REAGAN'S "INNER circle" also
would include many Republican
stalwarts with Washington seasoning
under Presidents Nixon and Ford. In-
deed, until the very last minute it ap-
peared even Gerald Ford might be per-
suaded to join the Reagan team as vice
president.

AFTER NOFZIGER missed a second

reached a goal that he sought for 12
years and accepted the party's
presidential nomination, an aide came
up with an idea. She made a sign for
him to hang around his neck: "My
name is Lyn. If you find me, please help ., .HyA
me find my motorcade." a
If Nofziger is not always close to
Reagan in a physical sense, he is close
in terms of his position in the Reagan
inner circle.
But unlike Reagan, whose jokes in W
private and public are of the wholesome c
kind, Nofziger is a picture of infor-
mality at its extreme, offering a steady
stream of barbs and puns as he jousts STRIKE pt5 s,
with reporters.

Instead, Reagan turned to former
GOP adversary George Bush, a man
with broad government experience:
congressman, CIA director, United
Nations ambassador.
The top issues men in a Reagan White
House could be two Washington
veterans: Richard Allen, who might
move into Zbigniew Brzezinski's post as
national security adviser; and Martin
Anderson, who might be expected to
succeed Stuart Eizenstadt as domestic
aide.
ALLEN, 44, served briefly as Henry
Kissinger's deputy on the National
Security Council in the early days of the
Nixon administration. The Notre Dame
University graduate was considered a
conservative counterweight to
Kissinger, who came via Harvard and
Nelson Rockefeller.
A senior fellow at the Hoover In-
stitute at Stanford University, the 43-
year-old Anderson was chairman of the
White House Task Force on Welfare
Reform during the Nixon ad-
ministration.

Hoover's Milton Friedman, the Nobel
Prize winner who is the nation's best-
known conservative economist; Arthur
Laffer, the University of California
professor who is a leading proponent of
broad-based tax cuts; George Schultz,
who served Nixon and Ford as labor
and treasury secretary; and another
Treasury secretary, William Simon.
MOST OF THE Californians got their
start in politics working for Reagan
when he was governor; they share the
boss's conservative political views, but
their roles tend to be more operational
than ideological.
Since the current roster of top
Reagan aides is exclusively white,
male, and mostly Californian, it seems
likely Reagan will come under pressure
to broaden his circle to include women
and minorities. Bush brings a member
of the Eastern establishment into the
group.
Reagan's assistants might be expec-
ted to carry more responsibility than
their counterparts in the Carter White
House. Reagan has shown he is less
reluctant than Jimmy Carter to
delegate authority.
