THE WHITE HOUSE
WASHINGTON
ADMINISTRATIVELY
CONFIDENTIAL
November 18, 1971
MEMORANDUM FOR :
ALEX BUTTERFIELD
FROM :
H.R. HALDEMAN H.
Two items for long-range social calendar planning.
Sometime between the Chinese and Russian trips, the President
would like to go ahead with that World War II group reunion.
The planning on this should be worked out with Carl Fleps and
are
it should be put together as the 30th Anniversary of the President's
Graduation from Quonset in 1942.
Fleys
He wants to have all of the Navy people, dscat cut way down on the list
of flyers, and in the Quonset group, have just RN's platoon.
il
He wants to be sure to have the little captain_of Fleet Air Wing 8;
I think it's Peter Boyle. He also mentioned, I think, .Gurley, who
was the CO from Ottumwa, and Paul Williams should handle the
planning for the New York crowd.
The list should be boiled down to about 200 and they should be
invited for a reception at the White House without wives.
The arrival setup should be like that of an Ambassador presenting
credentials - that is, an Honor Guard along the driveway and per-
haps a band outside or something to really jazz it up as they arrive.
}
The second event will be a reunion of the law school class, some
Charlie
time in June after the Russian trip. This should be carefully
Rhyne
nn
researched and Charlie Rhyne should take over all charge with
Dick Kiefer and Mack Holland working with him. The occasion
here will be that the 35th reunion of the law school class of 1937.

The group should be expanded a little to include some of the
professors who were there at the time and also a few of the
members of the immediately adjacent classes, who might
have been close to the President personally.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
JANUARY 23, 1969
Office of the White House Press Secretary
THE WHITE HOUSE
BIOGRAPHICAL DATA ON ALEXANDER
P. BUTTERFIELD, DEPUTY ASSISTANT
TO THE PRESIDENT
Born at Pensacola, Florida on April 6, 1926, the son of a career
naval aviator
Mr. Butterfield lived most of his early years in California His
permanent (legal) residence is 272 I Avenue, Coronado, California
During Sport high school years In Norfolk, Virginia; Coronado, California;
and Delafield, Wisconsin) served as president of freshman,
sophomore, and junior classes; elected student body president;
sat as
member
of
Southern California Student Representative
Assembly; won nine varsity letters in major sports; and in 1944
graduated cum laude, receiving top honors in English and history.
Most of Mr. Butterfield's adult life has been devoted to federal service,
as an officer in the U.S. Air Force. Throughout his military career
he resided in 13 states in the Continental U.S.; also Hawaii, West
Germany, Libya, Okinawa, Thailand, Republic of Vietnam, and
Australia. A rated command pilot and parachutist, his more signif-
icant military assignments were as: wingman on the famed Europe-
based American jet aerobatic team, The Skyblazers; aide to
Commander Fourth Allied Tactical Air Force, Central Europe
Command (NATO); an Air Force Academy instructor; senior aide to
Commander in Chief Pacific Air Forces; Commanding Officer of a jet
fighter squadron in Vietnam, where he flew 98 combat missions;
Military Assistant in the immediate office of former Defense Secretary
McNamara, where he handled White House-Defense projects of special
Presidential interest. It was while in this Defense post that Mr. Butter-
field gained a familiarity with much of the machinery of government.
Called upon to personally coordinate a multitude of Defense matters at
the highest levels of other federal departments and agencies, he became
involved in a wide variety of actions ranging from fuel oil import
studies and measures to insure the security of Presidential aircraft to
racial issues and programs for the handicapped. Probably most notable
among his accomplishments during this period were his interdepartmental
direction of Cuban Brigade affairs (relating back to the Bay of Pige
event), and his preparation of DOD's official testimony on our Dominican
Republic involvement, delivered by then Under Secretary Cyrus Vance, to
the Fulbright Committee. Mr. Butterfield was also charged with pre-
paring the Defense Secretary's monthly report to the Cabinet. For these
and other efforts he was highly commended by Vance, former Presiden-
tial ssistant Joe Califano, and Vice President Humphrey.
His last military assignment was as Commander in Chief Pacific Repre-
sentative and Senior U.S. Military Representative in Australia.
A full Colonel upon retirement from the Armed Forces, Mr. Butterfield
was a qualified F-111 pilot. In a 20-year span he logged 4700 hours in
jet fighter-type aircraft and just over 7500 total flying hours.
