Culvahouse the Presidential Citizens’ Medal, an award to "recognize citizens
who performed exemplary deeds of service for the country or their fellow
citizens." In December 1992, then-Secretary of Defense Dick Cheney awarded
Ambassador Culvahouse the Defense Medal for Distinguished Public Service for
his work on the Federal Advisory Committee on Nuclear Failsafe and Risk
Reduction.
Both President Trump and the late-Senator John McCain tapped Ambassador
Culvahouse to head the search to select their running mates.
