Taña Dalglish Apr 4, 2014:
Dear Andy Thank you so much! I certainly don't want to make an issue of the choice made by the Asker, but it is so surprising in light of the numerous agrees, and further, if I said too much (i.e. how I really feel), I would be kicked out of ProZ! But, the chosen answer is blatantly wrong! Regards and saludos. Taña.
Andy Watkinson Apr 4, 2014:

@BDT:

As Taña rightly states (in response to an unwarranted disagree), your term refers to an office/department/agency, call it what you will.

At the risk of stating the obvious, a "secretary" is a physical human being.

@ BDT Your choice of answers is PRICELESS! Regards.

Slight difference As deputy secretary refers to the assistant secretary in the Office while the Under secretary is considered of a higher position .

Sorry, but I am not in total agreement with the comments in the discussion box debatable). Let us not lose sight of the question to begin with; further the Asker has not provided the country (whether origin or target).

Thank you Phoenix.
disagree Ray Ables : There is a "Deputy Secretary of Defense" and then various "Under Secretaries of Defense" as you listed. The Deputy Secretary of Defense answers to the Secretary. (Office of the Deputy Secretary of Defense) Secretario Asistente de Defensa= Under Secretary

Ray, I disagree, and further "Subsecretaría" is the "Office of" .... & not the Secretary himself or herself! I will stay with my answer. Thank you.
