Talk:William B. Franke/@comment-15278555-20150410185500/@comment-26294677-20150413183305

The source of my inference to Franke's involvement in the planning of the Bay of Pigs operation comes from "William D. Pawley: The Extraordinary Life of the Adventurer, Entrepreneur, and Diplomat..." by Anthony R. Carrozza. Forgive me for not having the exact page number, but it comes from a passage regarding "When in 1953-54, Congress re-established the COMMISSION ON ORGANIZATION OF THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH OF THE GOVERNMENT (known as the SECOND HOOVER COMMISSION, and also chaired by former President Herbert Hoover)...." I can send you a transcription of the text of the entire page if you don't find the passage yourself. I copied it to my own files in June of 2014 when I was researching background of Franke relative to identifying and evaluating the importance of a William B. Franke Inscribed Autograph in my collection. My being in South Florida made the William D. Pawley and the Bay of Pigs reference of greater significance.
