Harold Brown (born September 19, 1927) is an American scientist who served as U.S. Secretary of Defense from 1977 to 1981 in the cabinet of President Jimmy Carter. He had previously served in the John F. Kennedy and Lyndon Johnson administrations as Director of Defense Research and Engineering and Secretary of the Air Force. In the last stages of the Cold War, as Secretary of Defense, he set the groundwork for the Camp David accords. He took part in the strategic arms negotiations with the Soviet Union and supported, unsuccessfully, ratification of the SALT II treaty. He advocated détente with the Soviet Union, an issue over which he conflicted with National Security Advisor Zbigniew Brzezinski. Lynn Etheridge Davis (born 1943) was United States Under Secretary of State for Arms Control and International Security Affairs from 1993 to 1997. After graduate school, Davis split her time between academia and government service. She taught political science at Columbia and national security policy at the National War College. She also worked on the staff of the United States Senate Select Committee on Intelligence and then the United States National Security Council. During the Carter administration, she served as Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Policy Plans. In 1985, Davis became Director of Studies of the International Institute of Strategic Studies in London. She held this position until 1989, when she joined the RAND Corporation at its headquarters in Santa Monica, California. In February 1993, President of the United States Bill Clinton nominated Davis to be Under Secretary of State for Arms Control and International Security Affairs. After Senate confirmation, she subsequently held this office from April 1, 1993 until August 8, 1997. After her time in the United States Department of State, Davis returned to the RAND Corporation.
