Posts reshuffled following Eagleburger retirement

President Reagan announced Friday that Lawrence Eagleburger, No. 3 official at the State Department and one of the country's most experienced diplomats, is retiring to private life.

Eagleburger's departure will cause a reshuffling of top posts in which Reagan will nominate Michael Armacost, currently ambassador to the Philippines, to succeed Eagleburger as undersecretary of state for political affairs.
