Surprise to Solomon
§§|v;
New GSA head sougl
United Press International
WASHINGTON — Help Want
ed: Sior official to sit in one of the
hottest seats in Washington. Quali
fications: Talent as a businessman,
investigator and policeman. Pay:
$52,500.
President Carter isn’t advertising,
but be s in the market for someone
to replace Jay Solomon as head of the
scandal-ridden General Services
Administration.
No one — including, apparently,
Jay Solomon — knows cjuite why.
Solomon was Carter s own choice to
take over and clean up the GSA.
White House press secretary,
Jody Powell, said Solomon’s impend
ing departure after 20 months on the
job has nothing to do with the bur
geoning investigation of corruption
at the government’s purchasing
agency he heads.
“We’ve started making tentative
arrangements about finding a re
placement,” said Powell, telling re
porters the 57-year-old Chat
tanooga, Tenn., real estate d<
veloper “mentioned several months
ago that he would like to leave some
time around the first of the year.”
I hat was at his initiation, not the
president’s, the press secretary
said.
But the sequence of events
Monday indicated Solomon was
caught off guard by the develop
ment.
The Washington Post first re
ported the imminent dismissal Sun
day, and indicated Solomon appar
ently had been unaware it was hap
pening.
“Maybe I ve been going too fast,
too hard, it quoted Solomon as say
ing. “Maybe I ve been getting too
close to the truth — but what that
truth is, I don’t know.”
Solomon met with Carter Monday
morning and the White House later
said he “has had, and continues to
have, the president’s complete con
fidence and support u\ running
GSA,” but that thy search for a re
placement had begun.
A few hours later, Solomon said,
during his meeting at the White
House, Carter reassured him he
“completely supported me, and ap
preciates what we have accom
plished in the investigations at
GSA.”
“And when I do leave, it will he at
a time and in a manner of my own
choosing, Solomon said.
Later in the afternoon,|
press spokesman said
remain on the job until bj
