“Schultz, along with President Ronald Reagan, played a key role in changing the course of history by using all the tools of diplomacy to end the Cold War,” concludes the Institute’s note, of which the former secretary was a member for more than 30 years.
“He is the only American to have held four different positions in the federal government,” said the Hoover Institute as secretary of state, treasury, labor, and budget director at the White House.
Another former Republican Secretary of State, Condoleezza Rice, praised the legacy of “a great American statesman and a true patriot who made the world a better place.”
