J. Edgar Hoover to Clyde Tolson, Cartha De Loach, and James H. Gale: November 26, 1968

Re discussion with the administration of President-elect Nixon about White House appointees, Hoover writes the following memo. He states that while Dwight D. Eisenhower was President-elect

"I had asked for an appointment [with Eisenhower] because one person appointed but not checked was to be a White House aide and had a bad reputation as a homosexual and he was the son of a prominent Senator, and when I told the President-elect about it he was astounded. I told him that this showed the wisdom of getting these people checked so they can find any black shadow in the picture before they make a public announcement."
