William M. Roth
Encyclopedia : W : WI : WIL : William M. Roth
William M. Roth was a shipping executive, special ambassador for trade, member of the ACLU executive committee, and Regent for the University of California. In 1966 he was targetted (along with Clark Kerr and Elinor Haas Heller) by a fellow Regent, Edwin Pauley, for his alleged 'left-wing' views. President Johnson appointed him United States Trade Representative from 1967-1969.
Among other activities, Roth worked as special representative for trade on US-European trade talks (named the Kennedy Round negotiations). See photo of Roth at a 1967 U.S. Chamber of Commerce conference alongside US Secretary of Commerce Aleanser B. Trowbridge; Secretary of Agriculture Orville Freeman, and Under Secretary of Labor James J. Reynolds.
