As Chief of Staff, Regan was noted for his disputes with First Lady [[Nancy Reagan]], as well as President Reagan's other advisors, due to his tight control over the President's schedule, and their fear that he exercised undue influence over the President. After the [[Iran-Contra]] scandal, in 1987, Regan resigned. Many accused Mrs. Reagan of being responsible for his removal, but the First Lady denied the charge, stating in her memoirs ''My Turn'' that there was never "a plot to get rid of Don Regan. There was no cabal. I wasn't in cahoots with anybody to bring about his downfall." | As Chief of Staff, Regan was noted for his disputes with First Lady [[Nancy Reagan]], as well as President Reagan's other advisors, due to his tight control over the President's schedule, and their fear that he exercised undue influence over the President.
