He's dead Jim, perhaps the article should reflect it now?-Chris in Denver

3 sons all named after him? Is there any proof of this? -Don in NYC

I've found a few sources for the names of his sons (Lawrence Scott, Lawrence Andrew, and Lawrence Jason), including one from the Brookings Institute, which I'll use to cite that sentence. The whole article needs citations and updates.Acantha1979 21:21, 31 May 2006 (UTC)Acantha[reply]

I've added a couple of updates to the page; I'm not sure if the article warrants the discussion about ICHEIC, but since it seemed to have generated quite a lot of press a few years ago, I included it. The middle-Eastern conflict stuff I thought was relevant because he's rather a public figure on talk shows dealing with the topic.Acantha1979 23:23, 31 May 2006 (UTC)Acantha[reply]

Lame Duck secretary?

[edit]

I am looking for consensus on whether to include the fact that the sitting president was a lame duck in the less than a month-and-a-half which Eagleburger served as the Sect. of State. Is that POV or encyclopedic fact? I'm leaning towards the latter but I fear that it will be seen as POV. If I don't hear much response I will probably change it; after allbe bold!

Candidate

Wasn't he once a vice-presidential candidate ? Should there be something about that ?Eregli bob (talk)15:09, 23 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Financial involvement in Yugoslavia

[edit]

Is it worth adding to the career section that he was financially involved with the Yugoslavian government and industries?

https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/lifestyle/1989/02/21/the-ins-and-outs-of-eagleburger/da6908a8-1879-4699-b066-adb546689630/

Eagleburger has revolved in and out of the diplomatic door. While he was in, he hustled loans from U.S. banks for Yugoslavia. While he was out, he joined the board of directors of a Yugoslavian bank that benefited from those loans. While he was in, he encouraged Yugoslavia to generate hard cash by producing exports. While he was out, he became the top American representative for one of those exports -- t

As ambassador and assistant secretary, Eagleburger leaned on U.S. banks to lend money to Yugoslavia, even though loans to East European countries were frowned on by the administration. In a 1985 interview, a Yugoslavian newspaper asked Eagleburger if he felt some responsibility for putting Yugoslavia billions of dollars into debt. "I believe I did a great favor to Yugoslavs getting them the money they felt was needed at the time," he responded. "I will not apologize because of this. If now Yugoslavia has difficulties in paying back, then maybe she should not have taken the loans." That Monday-morning quarterbacking is little comfort to Yugoslavia, which is $20 billion in debt and has an inflation rate of 200 percent. When he left the State Department in 1984, Eagleburger went to work for Kissinger's consulting firm. In short order, he also became the American representative for Yugo mini-cars. A Yugo sells for $8,000 in Yugoslavia and for $4,000 in the United States. To critics, that looks like a blatant attempt to raise hard currency by dumping a product for less than it is worth. The Yugo is built by a division of the huge conglomerate which is the backbone of the Yugoslavian arms industry. Among its clients are Iraq, Libya and East European countries. As a private citizen, Eagleburger also became a director of the New York branch of Ljubljanska Banka, a bank owned by the Yugoslavian government. In December, a wholly owned subsidiary, LBS Bank of New York, was indicted for allegedly laundering more than $1.4 million for U.S. Customs agents who were posing as drug lords. Eagleburger resigned from the bank after he was picked for the State Department post.

Main section is missing most important info

[edit]

It appears that the main body of the article, namely the "governmental career" section, fails to mention anything about the most important part of his governmental career: his brief service as secretary of state. It's mentioned in the intro, obviously, but not mentioned or expanded upon in the body, such that readers will have no idea why his tenure was so short (which is what I'm wondering right now.)natemup (talk)19:36, 13 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
