WASHINGTON--President-elect Reagan and President Carter met yesterday at the White House for the first time since the election.
After the meeting, Carter said he and Reagan discussed the transition and "some of the issues I have faced as president."
Full-Feathered Lame Duck
Carter stressed the two leaders' agreement that the outgoing chief executive will be president "in the fullest sense of the word" until Reagan's inauguration on January 20.
The two men discussed "some of the common commitments we share," Carter said. "We have a very good working relationship," he added.
The Cooperation Game
Reagan praised Carter for cooperating in the transition to his administration. "He has made it much easier than it otherwise would have been," Reagan said.
Reagan will begin filling his administration's top positions this weekend sources close to the presidential transition operation said yesterday.
The sources said William Casey, Reagan's campaign manager, is likely to be picked to head the CIA. Casey, who had experience in intelligence during World War II, faces virtually no opposition as CIA director, although there is still competition for most other Cabinet level jobs, the sources added.
