BUSINESS, Page 64Business NotesTHE CABINET. . . And Barbara Makes Three
George Bush appears to be bringing his Cabinet into the
1990s: he's adding women. The Cabinet has two: Lynn Martin
(Labor) and Carla Hills (Trade). Last week Bush nominated a
third, management consultant Barbara Franklin, 51, to take over
the Commerce Department from Robert Mosbacher, who is leaving to
run the President's re-election campaign.
If confirmed, Franklin will bring a power-packed resume to
the position. The Harvard M.B.A. served as a headhunter in the
Nixon Administration, a vice chairman of the Consumer Product
Safety Commission from 1973 to '79, and is a director of seven
corporations, among them Aetna, Dow Chemical and Westinghouse.
A savvy Republican fund raiser, Franklin co-chaired a dinner
last fall that gathered $1.2 million for Bush's 1992 campaign.
Her appointment is also a campaign tactic to boost Bush's
support among women, 54% of the voters.
