While working at the White House from 1993 until 1997, Adams was in charge of monitoring all foreign affairs and national security budgeting, according to the press release. This entailed supervising a staff of 60 individuals whose purpose was to look over budget plans for the Defense Department, the State Department, the Agency for International Development, the Treasury Department and many other government subcategories, according to the press release.
