THE WHITE HOUSE

WASHINGTON

August 13, 1976

MEHORANDm.f FOR THE PRESIDENT

FRGr.f: MAX L. FRIEDERSDORF

SUBJECT: Kennedy/Johnson Cabinets

Attached is a list of those serving in Cabinet posts during the Kennedy and Johnson Administrations.

I have distributed this list to Cheney, Marsh, Hartmann and Nessen with the recommendation that the President be consulted prior to any public comment.

Obviously, many of these appointees can be designated accurately as "faithful political partisans," the term used by Carter in his attack today on our appointees .
