Adm. Harold E. Shear Sworn-ln
As Maritime Administrator
Secretary of Transportation Drew Lewis (right) admin-
isters oath of office to Adm. Harold E. Shear, USN
(ret.), as Maritime Administrator at Department of
Transportation ceremony. Mrs. Shear holds the Bible.
Adm. Harold E. Shear was sworn-in re-
cently as Administrator of the Maritime
Administration by Secretary of Transpor-
tation Drew Lewis.
The former Commander of Allied Forces
in Southern Europe is the first to head the
agency since it was transferred to the De-
partment of Transportation from the Com-
merce Department last August.
Secretary Lewis, commenting on the ap-
pointment of the four-star admiral, said:
"Admiral Shear is well-qualified to take on
the tough task of reinvigorating our nation's
maritime resources. In this undertaking, he
will have my full support and will work
closely with the Congress and all segments
of the maritime industry.
"In addition, the recent transfer of Mar Ad
to DOT will ensure that federal maritime
policies and initiatives will be more effec-
tively coordinated and administered than in
the recent past."
A much decorated combat veteran, Ad-
miral Shear specialized in submarines for
25 years and among his commands was the
nuclear-powered, ballistic missile submarine
USS Patrick Henry. During the Vietnam
War, he commanded the Navy's first fast
combat-support ship, USS Sacramento.
Admiral Shear retired from the Navy in
1980 and came to the post at the Maritime
Administration from Norton, Lilly & Co., a
New York firm which serves as general
agent for shipping companies, where he was
vice president.
A December 1941 graduate of the U.S.
Naval Academy in a wartime accelerated
class, Admiral Shear served in both destroy-
ers and submarines during World War II.
During his 39-year naval career, he held
numerous important commands, including
director of the Navy's submarine warfare
and antisubmarine programs; chief of the
U.S. Naval Mission to Brazil, and vice chief
of Naval Operations.
At the time of his retirement in June
1980, he was Commander in Chief of Allied
Forces in Southern Europe, which placed
him in charge of armed forces of all NATO
nations on the southern flank of Europe
from Gibraltar to the eastern boundary of
Turkey and Russia.
A graduate of the Armed Forces Staff
College, the Navy Nuclear Power Training
Program and the National War College, Ad-
miral Shear grew up on Shelter Island, N.Y.
He is married to the former Elizabeth Perry
of Falmouth, Maine. They have two children,
Kathleen and Kenneth.
In a brief address following the ceremony,
Admiral Shear promised to "push very hard
to get this industry back on its feet." He
told a crowd of about 150 industry repre-
sentatives that he anticipates "significant
progress in the months ahead."
