Defense nominee withdraws
Defense President begins search to fill post
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Retired Adm. Bobby Inman withdrew yesterday as defense secretary nominee, saying he was "distressed and distracted" by attacks on his character and reputation. President Clinton accepted the surprise withdrawal and began a fresh search to fill the post Les Aspin is soon to leave.
The Texas businessman, a former deputy CIA director, accused his critics of "modern McCarthyism."
"I did not want this job," Inman, 62, said in a rambling hourlong news conference in Austin, Texas.
In particular, he lashed out at the news media and accused New York Times columnist William Safire and Senate Republican leader Bob Dole of plotting to undermine his nomination.
Even though Clinton had been given advance word of Inman's decision, the dramatic exit sent shock waves through Washington and mystified lawmakers of both parties.
"He's probably not qualified to be secretary of defense if he has fantasies like that," Dole said in a speech to a business group in Columbia, S.C.
White House aides privately, and some Democratic lawmakers openly, expressed relief with Inman's decision after watching his news conference.
Among those mentioned for the defense post at the time of the Aspin resignation were deputy defense secretary William Perry, CIA Director James Woolsey and Norman Augustine, who runs the defense contractor Martin-Marietta Corp.
Possibilities from Capitol Hill
include former Republican Sen. Warren Rudman of New Hampshire, Democratic Rep. John Murtha of Pennsylvania, the chair of the Appropriations subcommittee on defense and Sen. Sam Nunn of Georgia, the head of the Armed Services Committee.
But Inman suggested that neither of these concerns had been the deciding factor in his decision.
Inman, a retired four-star admiral, had been expected to face questions about his private-sector dealings with the defense industry in confirmation hearings scheduled for next week. In addition, he was expected to be asked about his failure to pay Social Security taxes for a domestic helper. He recently paid about $6,000 in back taxes.
Woman allowed to attend Citadel
The Associated Press
CHARLESTON, S.C. — The Citadel's last defense against women in day classes crumbled yesterday when Chief Justice William Rehnquist cleared the way for Shannon Faulkner to take courses with the military college's cadets.
"We knew it was coming," said freshman cadet Timothy Terese. "It's been going on for the whole semester now. But no matter what, we didn't lose faith, and we're hoping the lawyers will come through for us."
Faulkner immediately started packing for the trip to Charleston. At The Citadel, where the cadet corps has been all-male for 151 years, the news was met with disappointment.
Faulkner plans to start classes tomorrow, on her 19th birthday.
"I've gotten off one roller coaster,
and I have to get on another one. I'm
still not a member of the corps of cadets yet," she said from her home in Powdersville, S.C. 220 miles away.
The Citadel and Virginia Military Institute are the nation's only allmale, state-supported military colleges. The institute's admission policy is also the target of a federal lawsuit.
A federal district judge ruled in August that while her lawsuit was pending, she could attend day classes but not join the 1,964-member cadet corps or live in the barracks.
Faulkner was accepted by The Citadel last year after she had references to her gender deleted from her high-school transcript. When officials discovered that she was a woman, they withdrew the invitation, and she sued, charging a violation of her equal protection rights.
Yesterday, Rehnquist dissolved his
stay that had blocked Faulkner from
starting classes. He issued it last week at the school's request, a few hours after Faulkner became the first woman to register for classes as a day student. Women are allowed to attend night classes.
U. S. Attorney General Janet Reno, who spoke with Faulkner by phone last week, was pleased with the decision.
"The battle has been long, but it is not yet over," she said. The Justice Department remains "committed to challenging what we believe is The Citadel's unconstitutional, male-only admissions policy." Reno said.
Citadel attorney Dawes Cooke said he was disappointed, but the school would not seek further Supreme Court review.
"I think contrary to the plaintiffs contentions, (a woman's presence) will be a disruption to the corps of cadets." Cooke said.
