May

loyal competent discreet
May forms part of the tight circle privy to the confidential Casseon antitrust settlement terms, which traded Justice Department leniency for 100,000 computers in classrooms. Leo names May alongside the President, himself, White House Counsel, Treasury and Commerce Counsel, NEC staff, Hackley, and Little when tracing leaks that sparked a Post inquiry and broader crisis. This places May deep within interagency economic policy channels linking DOJ actions to White House strategy, underscoring a role in high-stakes negotiations under secrecy.
