BIOGRAPHY |

KT McFarland is a former top Pentagon official in the Reagan Administration and a frequent television and radio commentator on national security issues and foreign affairs. She has a reputation for taking complex national security issues and explaining them in plain English. Radio talk show hosts and television news anchors seek out her expertise on issues because, as one major news producer said, McFarland doesn't have an axe to grind, she tells it like it is. KT served on Dr. Henry Kissinger’s legendary
National Security Council Staff at the White House during the Nixon and Ford
Administrations. Starting as a part-time secretary typing the President’s
Daily Brief, KT rose to become Dr. Kissinger’s research assistant and press
aide. She worked on all aspects of foreign policy, including the Vietnam
Peace Accords, Middle East peace negotiations, U.S.-Soviet arms control
agreements, and the U.S. opening to China. During the Reagan Administration KT was the Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Public Affairs.
As speechwriter
to Secretary of Defense ‘Cap’ Weinberger, KT wrote his landmark Principles
of War speech, and led the Defense Department’s strategic communications
and public diplomacy programs. She was also one of the first women to serve
on the Armed Senate Services Committee Staff. KT traveled throughout the U.S.
and abroad as the Reagan Administration’s Pentagon spokesman and was one of
the highest-ranking women in the Pentagon. She was awarded the Defense
Department’s highest civilian honor, The Distinguished Service Award. KT became active in New York Republican
politics and ran for the U.S. Senate from New York, hoping to challenge
Hillary Clinton in the 2006 election. Although KT lost the Republican
primary, she received 40% of the statewide vote. 7-9-08 KT on FNC - The Live Desk -
