Lt. General Colin Powell, who has been serving as Deputy National Security Adviser, was named the new National Security Adviser last week. He appears to be the right man for the right job at this stage of the Reagan administration. "While I don't know that he's a great strategist, he more than makes up for it with common sense and getting the right people together at the right time and resolving problems before they happen." Secretary of State George Shultz and Frank Carlucci, the current national security adviser and Mr. Reagan's nominee to become secretary of defense, are both better known in Congress and will be more visible, selling the pending arms-control treaty and other administration policies. The Bush administration is in a state of disarray and disarray. He has combat experience in Vietnam. He has been a senior aide under three cabinet officers and 15 years ago worked under Frank Carlucci, the current National Security Advisor now appointed Secretary of Defense.
