- TO:
- SPL FOR:
- CC:
- BUREAU: SOUTH
- BY: A. ENGLER ANDERSON, STR.
- IN: PALM BEACH
- SLUG: THE GENERAL
-
- A few items to add to what I filed yesterday from
- conversation with Mrs, Schwarzkopf:
-
- She said his maangement style is collegial, and he
- solicits the opinions of others before making decisions.
- ``He likes very much hearing everybody's input,'' she
- said. ``He makes the final decision.''
-
- Mrs. Schwarzkopf said the general has always taken a
- personal interest in the welfare of soldiers serving
- under him. She couldn't recall any anecdotes, but spoke
- with pride about a ``Quality of Life Program'' he devised
- when stationed at Fort Stuart, Georgia. She described
- this as a large discussion program for people working at
- the base to improve living and working conditions.
- Included in panels were officiers, enlisted personnel,
- dependents and civilian workers. She said he also started
- this program at Fort Lewis.
-
- ``He loves his soldiers,'' said Mrs. Schwarzkopf. ``He
- has done everything he can possibly can for his soldiers
- and his family.''
-
- Not much of Mrs. Schwarzkopf says is terribly quotable.
- She speaks in glowing and adoring terms of her husband --
- here are a few examples:
-
- ``I think of him as being a very smart person. I think he
- knows his job better than anybody else.''
-
- ``He's very proud, patriotic.''
