"Created in an executive order passed in 1987, reagan's Commission on Privatization was devoted to "[identifying] government programs that are not properly the responsibility of the federal government or that can be performed more efficiently by the pri?vate sector" (United States, Congress, Commission on Privatization 11). However, it was clear that from the start, reagan's commission was focused on one thing: the prison system (Brinkley 1)."

reagan Administration: Intervention and Propoganda

 

January 20, 1981, ronald reagan was inaugurated during a rightward shift in U.S. politics. He quickly cut off all aid to FSLN indefinitely due to the Sandinista's continued support of Salvadoran rebels. In response, the Sandinistas consolidated power and expanded arrests of perceived dissidents under the belief that the U.S. would invade. On December 1, 1981, reagan signed an order that allowed the CIA to support the Contras with arms, equipment, and money. This order was implemented in conjunction with an overall strengthening of U.S. presence in Central America and the belief that covert activities are the most effective way to put pressure on a regime. This shift of foreign policy away from the Carter administration's non-intervention culminated in June 1982 with the reagan Doctrine which called for supporting democratization everywhere. It was at this point that the goal of the covert operations in Nicaragua shifted away from one of simply interdicting arms to one of supporting a change in government. Iran-Contra historian Theodore Draper, among others, argued, that this was the real goal all the long.

 

To help popularize the foreign policy changes of the reagan administration certain propaganda and media initiatives were implemented to sway public and congressional opinion. In January of 1983, National Security Decisions Directive was signed, entitled Management of Public Diplomacy Relative to National Security, institutionalizing public diplomacy. In effect, it was a special planning group within the NSC to coordinate public diplomacy campaigns.[6] This group was America's first peacetime propaganda ministry. Every administration tries to influence public opinion, but not until reagan was it so institutionalized. Another use of white propaganda, which Richard Miller described as "actually putting out [the] truth, straight information, not deception," was the State Department's Group of Latin American Public Diplomacy (S/LPD).[7] This group, in actuality, reported directly to the NSC despite being housed within the State Department. Both committees utilized a variety of media propaganda and control efforts. A fourteen page memorandum dated March 20, 1985 from North to National Security Advisor Robert McFarlane explained over 80 publicity stunts to influence public and congressional opinion before upcoming Contra aid votes.[8] The public diplomacy officials also leaked select pieces of information that they wanted made public to journalists who favored reagan. Strategic leaking and declassification of documents allowed the Executive Branch to manage the public perceptions of the American efforts in South America.
