Early life and career
Education and early political involvement
Heatherly attended the University of Arizona at which time he became involved in Barry Goldwater's 1964 presidential campaign. After graduating, Heatherly became an organizer for the Intercollegiate Studies Institute. In 1975 Heatherly received a master's degree from Claremont Graduate School and University Center.[2]
Heritage Foundation
In 1981, Heatherly helped author and edit the Heritage Foundation publication entitled Mandate for Leadership[3] in which Heatherly offers several policy recommendations intended to decrease the size and scope of the federal government. Subsequent versions of the Mandate have been published since then.Шаблон:Citation needed
Small Business Administration
Heatherly's tenure was characterized by his efforts in attempting to carry out the Reagan Administration's plan[4] to merge the independent SBA into the U.S. Department of Commerce. The plan was ultimately dropped due to a lack of support from Congress[5] and intense criticism from the small business community. Heatherly conceded that the decision to merge the SBA with the Department of Commerce had "nothing to do with budget savings" and soon shifted his efforts to examining the effectiveness of the SBA's loan guarantee and educational programs.[6]
Criticism
Heatherly's ascension to the position of SBA administrator drew bipartisan ire from Senators Lowell P. Weicker Jr. (R-CT) and Dale L. Bumpers (D-AR) who took issue with the fact that Heatherly's appointment was never considered by the Senate Small Business Committee.[7]
The same Senator Weicker sent a letter to the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) requesting that they examine a pamphlet published by the SBA at Heatherly's direction, entitled The Future of SBA. While the GAO determined that the pamphlet did not violate the law, the office stated that they had "serious difficulties" with the SBA's distribution of its accompanying "suggested editorials" supporting the Reagan Administration's reorganization plan. The GAO stated that the suggested editorials were "misleading as to their origin and reasonably constitute[d] 'propaganda...'"[8]
Additionally, following pressure from small business delegates to the 1986 White House Conference on Small Business, President Ronald Reagan announced that Heatherly would be replaced as acting head of the SBA.[9]
Post-SBA career
Following his ouster from the SBA, Heatherly returned to the Heritage Foundation and was the organization's Vice President for Academic Relations.[10]
