According to Right Web :

"Allen came into possession of a $1,000 gratuity paid in cash from a Japanese magazine, intended for Nancy Reagan in exchange for an interview she had given, which money he placed in a White House safe and then reportedly forgot. Also, it was belatedly discovered that around the same time, Allen had accepted three expensive watches as personal gifts from Japanese friends who were high-level governmental consultants. As a result of these disclosures, Allen was forced to leave his NSC post in early 1982.”

Allen is also part of the Washington, D.C. staff of global communication consultancy APCO and is cited by the Council of Public Relations Firms as part of their team who are:

"... well positioned to help identify contract opportunities, navigate the complex award process both in Washington and in Baghdad, and position clients with major contracting parties and the U.S. government's key appointees in Baghdad."

Allen is also a Counsellor of Layalina Productions, Inc. (a US public diplomacy operation) which produces "informative and entertaining Arabic-language programming for licensing to satellite and cable television networks throughout the Arab Middle East and North Africa." Fellow members are a Who's Who of US political luminaries such as James A. Baker, III, Samuel R. Berger, Lawrence S. Eagleburger, Henry A. Kissinger, Sam Nunn, George P. Shultz. Given what these men have been involved in over the past decades, Layalina Productions has set itself the challenging goal of addressing "the negative stereotypes about the United States by providing Arabic-speaking television viewers with programming that is honest, positive, and entertaining." President George H.W. Bush is Honorary Chairman of the Board.
