Andrew J. Goodpaster
U.S. Army General who served as military aide to Presidents Eisenhower and Nixon and was involved in diplomatic exchanges regarding Israel's Dimona nuclear facility.
Andrew J. Goodpaster was an American Army General who served as military aide to President Dwight D. Eisenhower and later to President Richard Nixon. He recalled that diplomatic exchanges between Eisenhower and David Ben-Gurion regarding Dimona were "very closely held" and not available even to close subordinates at the time. While there was presidential concern about "what they were doing at Dimona," Goodpaster could not remember any "specific exchange about a nuclear umbrella."1
