(resume attached) Melvin Conant is a logical candidate for the position of ~ssietant Secretary for European Affairs in the Departme~t -of State. His experience as Political Advisor and Government Relations Counsellor for Europe and the Far East, Standard Oil Company of New Jersey, has been far-reaching. He knows the name of the game and the players as well. He is highly regarded in Europe and in this country. He is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations, and is also a member of the State Department Advisory Panel on Europ"ean Affairs. He has been a professor at the National War College, and is also a member of the Institute for Strategic Studies in London. He has also published in the field. Important here is that he has been closely associated with NATO affairs. Moreover, he personally knows many high-ranking European government officials. Conant has been of great help in the foreign policy field during the campaign. I often called upon him for assistance. He comes highly recommended by Bill Kintner of the University of Pennsylvania, an RN advisor of long standing. I add my own strong recommendation. He would be a faithful and imagmzilative team-player in the Nixon Administration. Melvin.A~ ConRn~, Jr. 16 Titus Laue Cold Spring Harbor Neu York (l1yrtlc 2-7629) 1.
