Former Secretary of Defense James Schlesinger speaks at the Council on Foreign Relations in New York December 18, 2006.
A serious thinker on national security and an executive determined to get things done, Schlesinger headed the Defense Department under Republicans at a time of major change and then, as its first secretary, established the Energy Department from scratch under Democrat Jimmy Carter.
He died at a hospital in Baltimore, and the cause of death was complications from pneumonia, a U.S. official said.
