Secretary of Defense

Caspar Weinberger served as the Secretary of Defense under President Ronald Reagan. Following the Israeli bombing of the Iraqi nuclear reactor at Osirak in June 1981, Weinberger proposed canceling the F-16 aircraft sale to Israel as a sanction. However, President Reagan privately disagreed with this course of action.1
