In 1979, Halper left both positions to become the National Director for Policy Development for [[George H. W. Bush]]'s Presidential campaign. At the 1980 Republican convention, Richard V. Allen, then Ronald Reagan's foreign policy adviser for his Presidential campaign, searched for a potential Vice President for Reagan, and spoke with Halper about considering H. W. Bush for the role. Halper then became the National Director of Policy Coordination on the Reagan / Bush Presidential campaign.
