From Eisenhower to Reagan, Atomic Energy Commission to HUD and EPA.

Few people get the opportunity to work for the President of the United States. Dwight Ink not only worked for one U.S. President, he worked for every president from Eisenhower to Reagan. His roles in federal government were as diverse as the presidents he served - from urban affairs, environment and energy, education and anti-poverty to foreign aid, arms reduction and disaster reconstruction. As the director of the Atomic Energy Commission, Ink worked on the development of naval and space nuclear development. After the great Alaskan earthquake of 1964, President Johnson dispatched Ink to the 49th state where he supervised the reconstruction of Valdez. He also helped establish the new Department of Housing and Urban Development and the Environmental Protection Agency. In the Ford Administration, Ink managed oil conservation after the Arab embargo and served as acting administrator of the General Services Administration. In the Carter Administration, he was instrumental in the design of the Civil Service reform, the first major overhaul of that federal system in 100 years.
