Carl Reid serves as the first Secretary of Labor under President Josiah Bartlet, from 1999 to 2002.

Career[]

Reid wants Senator Seth Gillette to be on the Blue Ribbon Commission on Social Security, and even meets with President Bartlet to request it.[1] In late 2001, Reid holds a press conference at the White House to the White House Press Corps about a "school-to-work initiative." [2] Carl Reid leaves in January 2002 to accept a position at Shearson and is succeeded by Indiana Governor Jack Buckland. [3]
