Former Secretary of State George Schultz, who served under President Reagan, has died at age 100.  The Associated Press calls Schultz a “titan of American academia, business and diplomacy.”

The AP writes of Schultz’s career:

He was labor secretary, treasury secretary and director of the Office of Management and Budget under President Richard M. Nixon before spending more than six years as President Ronald Reagan’s secretary of state.

Schultz was the longest serving secretary of state since World War II and had been the oldest surviving former Cabinet member of any administration.

Dan Rather spoke to Schultz in 2015 at Stanford University’s Hoover Institute about climate change, an issue for which he cared about deeply.  Watch the interview above

George Shultz was thoughtful, analytical, and committed to working in a world of facts and complex truths. Recently, the climate crisis was something about which he cared deeply. To the end, he was dedicated to a better and more secure nation and a more peaceful world. RIP.
