Lieutenant WILLIAM EMANUEL KELLEY, U.S. Navy, was commissioned Ensign
U.S. Naval Reserve in December 1962.
A native of California, Lieutenant Kelley grew up in the Watts section of
Los Angeles where his parents still reside. He attended John C. Fremont
High School and graduated from Whittier College with a B.A. in Sociology
in 1960.
He is now serving as Operations Officer in the Pacific Fleet destroyer
USS COLLETT (DD-730). Prior to augmenting into the regular Navy in 1965,
he served as Communications Officer in the destroyers HERBERT J. THOMAS
(DDR-833) and BERKELEY (DDG-15). After 21 months as Operations Officer in
the fleet oiler CHIPOLA (A0-63), Lieutenant Kelley attended the U.S. Naval
Destroyer School in Newport, Rhode Island and then reported to his present
billet.
Each of the ships in which he has served have operated in waters off the
coast of Vietnam. Lieutenant Kelley's military decorations include the
Navy Unit Commendation Ribbon and the Vietnamese Service Medal with four
campaign stars. He has received a letter of commendation from Commander
Service Force, U.S. Pacific Fleet for his performance as a department head
in the USS CHIPOLA.
While at Whittier College, Mr. Kelley was active in many extra curricular
activities including athletics, the A Capella choir and student government.
He was president of the Whittier College Student Body in 1960. He was also
active in the Young Men's Christian Association and served as Co-chairman
of the Annual Pacific Southwest Region Student Conference in 1959 and Vice
President of the National Student Council of YMCA's in 1960. He was the
recipient of the Walter Dexter Award from Whittier College on graduation
and was listed in Who's Who Among Students in American Colleges and Universities,
1960.
After graduation from Whittier College, Mr. Kelley accepted the invitation of
the National Council of YMCA's of Sweden to visit that country in an advisory
capacity for the development of youth programs within the Swedish YMCA's. He
spent a full year in Sweden and his work there received the sponsorship of
the International Committee of the YMCA's of United States and Canada. At the
request of his Swedish sponsors, Mr. Kelley helped to develop a coeducational
program for high school age young people similar to Hi-Y Clubs in the USA.
This program is still in operation in Sweden. Mr. Kelley represented the USA
at YMCA sponsored Youth Conferences in Germany and Austria and was a delegate
to the World Council of YMCA's in Geneva, Switzerland in 1961.
Upon returning to the United States, Mr. Kelley worked for a year as Program
Director for the Southwest Branch of the YMCA of Los Angeles, where he directed
a program for over 800 young people within the "inner city" of Los Angeles.
The youngest son of retired Los Angeles Policeman LeRoy Kelley, Sr. and Laura
Mae Kelley, he now resides in Long Beach with his wife of one year, Joann, who
is a former Flight Hostess with Trans World Airlines.

Dear Jim:
Bryce Harlow forwarded on to me your mémorandum of January 2nd.
I am certainly aware of the problems Bebe is having in Florida and,
needless to say, all of us have somewhat the same troubles. I am
afraid though that this is not a matter in which we can legitimately
provide staff assistance.
RN is extremely anxious that we not build up a staff at Key Biscayne,
and I think he would be very disturbed at the thought of any move
such as you suggest being undertaken.
I will, however, review this because maybe there is some way to
work the thing out and probably will eventually have to be done. In
the meantime, I wouldn't hold out much hope for the specific assign-
ment that you suggested.
I know your name is under consideration for other assignments as
a result of your having filed your resume here sometime ago.
Look forward to seeing you at the inauguration.
Cordially,
H. R. Haldeman

From: Jim Golden
maybe, mentioned Bebe here this
Pursuant to our conversation today, I would appreciate
very much your forwarding the following suggestion to
Bob Haldeman in New York.
RN may not be aware of the fact that since his election a
considerable amount of pressure has been building up in
Key Biscayne consisting of phone calls, mail and personal
visits of individuals seeking favors of Bebe Rebozo and
his personal intervention with officials of the incoming
Administration. Bebe himself would never mention this
to RN, but I have elicited this from him in recent con-
versations and had it verified while talking with Shelley
Scarney this week, as he had mentioned it to her. The
existing situation is causing him problems with his own
staff at present, and it will get worse, I'm sure. I
personally feel that an individual with an intimate
knowledge of the family, staff and Bebe should be ap-
pointed as a Special Assistant to one of the Assistants
to the President and be permanently assigned to the Summer
White House at Key Biscayne where he could act as a buffer
for Bebe and take care of some of the administrative and
general duties surrounding the Summer White House.
In view of my personal friendship with Bebe and the others
involved, I would like to volunteer my services for such
a position. My resume was submitted to the Hotel Pierre
group some three weeks ago should you care to look at it.

Dear Dick:
While the tempest in the teapot rages, I want to
congratulate you for your master-stroke and keen perception
in your selection of Governor Spiro T. Agnew of Maryland.
Ted Agnew by his forthright acts and utterances as Governor
has won my respect and admiration, as he has yours, since
I first came to Maryland two years ago to help move War*-
materiel and supplies to our fighting men in Vietnam.
He is a patriot, straightforward, courageous, sensitive
and friendly. He is thoroughly capable. He is articulate
and a master of the give-and-take at a Press Conference.
In addition, he is photogenic. Although he has a good legal
mind, he applies the principles of fairness and ordinary
good common sense to his decisions.
As an object lesson to the rest of us, he comes from a
minority ethnic group, the Greek, who worked their way out
of poverty in this country through their own efforts and
by the sweat of their brows.
As a middle-of-the-road American I am glad to see a man of
Ted Agnew's caliber and potential recognized and put to
work in the national interest.
Kindesp personal regards and best wishes.
Cordially and sincerely yours,

Irreverend,
Says H. Dick Golding
I protest as a Catholic James Groppi's
irreverend actions as a priest. He has created
the false impression that Catholics at large
support him. Well, we most certainly do not!
We need law and order in this country, not
riots!
His continuous nightly marches by Negroes
into an all white community will not solve his
problem but only aggravate it. It is explo-
sively dangerous and will ultimately provoke
and lead to violence, death, and destruction.
Having been born a Catholic and educated
in its private schools, I have a tremendous
respect for the Catholic Church, its teachings,
its clergy and its religious institutions. Need-
less to say, I have no respect for Groppi or
his afraid-to-act archbishop who to date has
failed to act unequivocably, while the good
name of the Catholic Church and the laity is
maligned and prostituted by a misguided
fanatic. If he wants to jump into the muck of
politics he owes it to us to first remove his
priestly robes

Congratulations belong to you too, for in no small measure
you are also responsible for Richard Nixon being our next

The names of the gentlemen which you have forwarded to

a time lag before we are able to contact these people di-

BILLY GRAHAM
November 29, 1968
Dear Bob:
Congratulations on your appointment! I doubt if
the White House has ever had such efficient manage-
ment as you will bring. I have watched with grow-
ing admiration your tremendous ability.
I have read in the press that you and the other
members of the staff are looking for various names
for offices in the new administration. Naturally,
like many of Mr. Nixon's friends, I have many people
who have come to me wanting me to pass on their
names. I have told each of them that I am not go-
ing to use my personal friendship to try and get a
job for anybody.
However, there are three of my acquaintances that
I think may be helpful in their respective fields.
Not one of these has approached me, and the idea
of passing on their names is totally mine.
The first is Mr. Dan Liu, Chief of Police of Hono-
lulu. Look magazine recently said that he has the
most incorruptible police force in the United States.
He has been a professor at the FBI Academy in Wash-
ington. In my work I am thrown very closely with
police officers, and I believe he runs the finest
police force in the United States. He has been
Chief of Police in Honolulu for more than twenty
years, and recently when a Honolulu newspaper ran
a poll to try to find out the most popular man in
the Islands Chief Liu won by a landslide. I be-
lieve he would be an excellent consideration for a
high post in law enforcement. The fact that he is
Chinese might also be helpful in race relations.
-2-
Secondly, Dr. Carlos Lastra, the chancellor of the
Pan American University in San Juan, Puerto Rico.
In my travels through Latin America, I have found
he knows more about the economic and political
situation throughout Latin America than any other
person. He is young, dynamic and deeply committed
to solving the problems of Latin America. He has
his PhD. in economics from Harvard. I once told
his story to Mr. Nixon and Mr. Nixon said: "He's
the kind of man I'm looking for. In my judgment
he would be an ideal man as an undersecretary of
state for Latin America.
Thirdly, Mr. David McConnell, who is presently
United States Delegate with the rank of Ambassador
to the United Nations Economic and Social Council,
is one of the great tax authorities in the United
States. Some of our tax laws were actually written
by him. President Johnson came very close to appoint-
ing him Director of Internal Revenue. I am enclosing
some biographical notes on Mr. McConnell. One of
the reasons I am taking the liberty of recommending
Mr. McConnell is that he supported Mr. Nixon in the
election although he is one of the Democratic leaders
of the state of North Carolina. Perhaps you could
re-appoint him to his present post.
Bob, I can vouch for the personal character of each
one of these three people and would deeply appreci-
ate your putting their names in the hopper for serious
consideration.
With warmest appreciation for all you mean to the
future of the country, I am
Cordially yours,

Dear Mr. Haldeman:
Our mutual and good friend Jim Gillies,
formerly of the University of California, has written you
on my behalf -- to ask if I can have a brief interview
with President-Elect Nixon, hopefully before Inauguration
Day.
The content of the interview would be
restricted to Canadian-American relations and comment from
Mr. Nixon, even if in a general form, on an aspect of his
forthcoming administration which we in Canada are very
keen to hear about.
While I can realize how extremely pressed for
time the President-Elect must be, my own interest in having
him on the record at this time relates to my years as
Canadian Editor for Business Week in New York during the
Eisenhower Administration, when the Canadian financial and
business communities were always eager to know the intent-
ions of a Republican President.
Could you write or call (416) 367-4676 at your
early convenience.
All best wishes for the New Year.
Sincerely,
John D. Harbron

Dear Bob,
Several items for your consideration:
1. The enclosed photographs of the President-elect arrived
phoned
114
from an unknown source with no note of explanation. They may be
No,
expected by some staff member, possibly Erlichman. Please check
this out.
2. Attached is the resume you gave me on Lieutenant Kelley
let's
together with a photograph. As we discussed, I have reviewed his
records and they are good. However, he is not senior or experienced
fort
enough to be the Navy's representative on the White House Staff.
Nevertheless, if it is decided that he should be selected and used in
now
the White House, I will be glad to carry him on my rolls as an over-
age and, in fact, would have no difficulty finding appropriate employ-
ment. I will leave this in your good hands.

3. Reference SEAVIEW, I think the Navy has done a fine job
in surveying the site and they are now preparing an architect's rend-
ering of the residence in its natural setting. Even though this will be
a "modest" residence, the cost associated with the overall project
will be substantial although not unmanageable from my standpoint.
I propose to have RN consider the architect's rendering to get his
approval of the concept and to press on from there. I will keep you
informed.

4. You asked about medical services for Cabinet Officers.
Attached is the basis for providing medical services for former
Presidents and this document also serves as a source of authority for
providing medical services by the military to other persons, including
Cabinet Officers. I have another paper being prepared on the subject
which I will send to you, but this should serve as a starter. In essence,
the Secretary of each Service has the authority to offer whatever med-
ical services he desires to the Cabinet Officers. It would seem, there-
fore, that this may be worked out as an internal Cabinet matter or I
can handle it for you.
With all good wishes,
blon
