A William Rogers was Nixon's first
Sec of St prior to Kissinger. He
was a Nixon friend from CA. I do
remember THAT William Rogers.

Could it be the same man? If so,
he'd be way up in years. But I
doubt it, if he was an undersec
during Carter. Wouldn't add up.

Anybody else remember Nixon's
William Rogers???

Nixon's William Rogers was a carryover...
he had been Eisenhower's Atty General.

If this is correct, that William Rogers died in 2001. The following from Bartleby.com

The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001.

Rogers, William Pierce

1913–2001, U.S. government official, b. Norfolk, N.Y. Admitted to the bar in 1937, he served (1947–50) as chief counsel to two Senate investigating committees before becoming (1953) deputy attorney general under President Dwight D. Eisenhower. He lobbied vigorously for passage of the 1957 Civil Rights Act and later, as attorney general (1957–61), set up the civil-rights division of the Justice Department. As secretary of state (1969–73) under President Richard M. Nixon, Rogers argued for restraint in the use of U.S. military power. In 1970 he arranged a cease-fire in the Middle East between Israel and Egypt. He returned to public service one last time in 1986 when he headed the special presidential commission set up to investigate the explosion of the space shuttle Challenger.
