Darman Promoted

Richard G. Darman '64, an aide to President Reagan on leave from the Kennedy School of Government, received a promotion and a pay hike this week as part of a White House staff shake up.

A lecturer on Public Policy and Management who held positions in the Nixon and Ford Administrations, Darman was named in January as White House staff secretary and deputy presidential assistant, working under Reagan chief of staff James A. Baker III.

He will now have the title of assistant to the president, with increased responsibilities for coordinating White House staff organization and assuring an appropriate flow of information and memoranda to and from the president.

Aides to the two other members of Reagan's "triumverate" of high-level White House staff advisers--Craig L. Fuller, chief aide to Edwin Meese III, the president's counselor, and Joseph W. Canzeri, an assistant to Michael Deaver, the White House deputy chief of staff--also received promotions.

All will now receive a yearly salary of $60,662, a $12,000 raise. Larry Speakes, the deputy White House press secretary, said the promotions came "in recognition of the tasks they have been performing."
