`SNUBBED' GENERAL PROMOTED
Lt. Gen. Barry R. McCaffrey, the Army general at the center of a storm over President Clinton's relationship with the military, has been promoted by the president to director of long-range planning for the Joint Staff.
McCaffrey is a three-star general who complained about being snubbed by a Clinton aide shortly after Clinton took office. According to McCaffrey, the young woman, who has not been identified, told him as he entered the White House, "I don't talk to the military."
Reports of the incident were spread widely by critics of the administration as evidence of a rocky relationship between Clinton and the military.
In a speech to newspaper editors last week on the campus of the U.S. Naval Academy, the president contended the snub never occurred.
