During these 14 months, Carlucci did much to promote foreign and military policies, as well as manage the defense budget during the stock market crash of 1987 with his deputy secretary, William H.

In an interview with reporters shortly before his departure as Secretary of Defense, Carlucci said he was most proud of three accomplishments: persuading Congress to agree to streamline base closing procedures, the conduct of the successful tanker escort operation in the Persian Gulf, and the development of a new, positive relationship with Soviet military authorities.
