Career
Francis Wilcox sat on the Foreign Relations Committee staff during the zenith of bipartisanship in American foreign policy. He worked under the chairmanships of Arthur Vandenberg, Tom Connally, Alexander Wiley, and Walter George, while the committee was deliberating over such momentous issues as the Truman Doctrine, the Marshall Plan, and the Atlantic Treaty Organization. After leaving the committee staff in 1955, Wilcox continued a distinguished career in foreign policy. From 1955 to 1960 he was Assistant Secretary of State for International Organization Affairs, a position which gave him a view of policy making from the executive branch's perspective. From 1961 to 1973 he was dean of the prestigious School of Advanced International Studies at Johns Hopkins University. In 1973 he became executive director of the Committee on Organization of Government for the Conduct of Foreign Policy and from 1975 to 1984 he was director general of the Atlantic Council of the United States.[1]
