George P. Shultz, who held three different Cabinet positions in two Republican administrations, has died in California at the age of 100, the oldest surviving former Cabinet member, NBC News reports.
Shultz served as the Secretary of Labor and as Treasury Secretary for Richard Nixon. He also spent time as head of Nixon’s Office of Management and Budget. Under Ronald Reagan, Shultz served as Secretary of State, where he worked to improve relations with the Soviet Union.
Shultz was integral in negotiating the first-ever treaty limiting Soviet land-based nuclear missiles. When he retired from government, he went on to be a fellow at Stanford’s conservative Hoover Institution.
