The SEAL officer who recieved the MHO instead of the enlised man was former Senator Bob Kerry, if I’m not mistaken.
Most likely, since the two actions took place in the same month.
You have to remember though, that Bob Kerrey was just a kid from Lincoln Nebraska with a pharmacy degree, at the time, not a locally well know businessman and politician, let alone a nationally known figure. Actually, he's Joesph R. Kerrey, which surprised me the first time I saw the plaque in the Nebraska state capital, since I'd met "Bob" over 15 years earlier, and had some degree of contact in the intervening years, although none since then, but never knew he was "Joeseph R.".
Definitely that is who the letter is referring to, the description of the action is the same as that for Senator Kerrey's MOH citation description
