	Eliot A. Cohen on Churchill & War on National Review Online
		The secretary of state for war next fell back on the argument that it would be adverse to good discipline to reverse a ruling on the basis of the prime minister's intervention.
		Secretary of State Grigg made one last desperate attempt to persuade Churchill to set aside his interest in fostering regimental spirit through the wearing of patches (23 December 1942), only to receive a crushing reply five days later from the prime minister.
		And yet, to a degree remarkable in the annals of war statesmanship, he struggled to have the final operations of the war conform to a broader set of political calculations than those which began the conflict.

	Reference.com/Encyclopedia/P.J. Grigg
		Sir Percy James Grigg, better known as Sir P.J. Grigg (December 16 1890-May 5 1964) was a British civil servant who was surprisingly moved from being the Permanent Under-Secretary of State at the War Office to become Secretary of State for War, the political head of the same department during the Second World War.
		After the war he returned to the Treasury and in 1921 he became Principal Private Secretary to the Chancellor of the Exchequer, serving several successive Chancellors including Winston Churchill.
		Amongst the many Ministerial appointments made by Churchill from outside the sphere of Westminster politics, this was seen as one of the most unusual, but was a response to considerable military setbacks such as the loss of Singapore, and the need to appease critics by replacing some ministers.

	CASBAH: Records created or inherited by the War Office, Armed Forces, Judge Advocate General, and related bodies
		This position is first found in the shape of a secretary of the Army or secretary of the forces on both sides during the Civil War, and with the appointment of William Clarke, formerly secretary to the parliamentary forces, it became a permanent one.
		The appointment of a Secretary of State for War in 1794, and the revival of the officer Commander in Chief in 1793, reduced the importance of his office; it was combined with that of Secretary of State for War in 1855 and abolished in May 1863.
		In 1854 a separate Secretary of State for the Colonies was appointed and the former Secretary of State for War and the colonies became Secretary of State for War.

	Former Secretary of State Warren Christopher
		He was our first post-Cold War Secretary of State, our first chief diplomat in over 50 years who faced, as Madeleine recently said, the challenge of defining our foreign policy in a world without a single, overriding threat to our security.
		In that period the role of the Secretary of State was mainly to make sure that Europe didn't meddle in our affairs or stifle our growth.
		Two world wars propelled the United States into a position of leadership in the free world, and, fortunately, our 20th century Secretaries were up to the challenge of ensuring America would ultimately triumph over communism -- democracy over communism.

		It is an honor to be here this morning as we mark this important milestone both in the stewardship of the records of the Federal Government and the continuing partnership between the State Department and the National Archives and Records Administration.
		It may interest you to know that State Department records and other records dealing with U.S. foreign affairs are the second most heavily used category of records after genealogical records.
		And while these cable files will, no doubt, be well used by American researchers, they will also be invaluable to historians, students, and others from foreign countries, where records of the actions of the Government officials, and events in their nation's history are not always available to the public—or simply do not exist.

		The result was an extraordinary encounter among high ministers of the United States, Iraq and 14 other large and small powers, who sat around a curved table in a packed chamber and deliberated war and peace in seven languages.
		The cabinet secretary said giving Iraq "a few months" more with the weapons he has "is not an option, not in a post-September 11th world." Britain, Spain and Bulgaria were rhetorically in the U.S. camp, calling Powell's presentation powerful and suggesting Iraq is fast blowing its last chance to comply.
