In an early sign of infighting on the President's economic team, National Economic Council chairman Larry Lindsey sent a January 25th memo to White House Chief of Staff, Andrew Card, attacking the performance of the Treasury Department's nonpartisan Office of Tax Analysis. The memo had a not-so-hidden-subtext: O'Neill's Treasury was not sufficiently loyal to the new President, while Lindsey was dutifully carrying forward Bush's agenda. O'Neill scrawled an angry reply in the margin: "Larry: This is bureaucratic chicken----. You must have something better to do with your time than send me memos such as this one."
