Footnotes: David Powers (1912-1998) served in the Kennedy Administration as Special Assistant and assistant Appointments Secretary to President John F. Kennedy. Powers grew up in the Charlestown section of Boston and first met JFK when the latter was running for Congress. Powers soon became a member of the 'Irish Mafia' and remained close to JFK throughout his political career. According to historian Robert Dallek, Powers responsibilities were to tend to the President's needs: he 'was always with him on trips around the country and abroad. He usually was the first to see the President in the morning, and the last to see him at night. He was less a political adviser than simply a friend with whom Kennedy could relax. They would swim together in the White House pool, where Powers would use a breaststroke in order to keep up a steady chatter of amusing conversation that Kennedy enjoyed.' In the years after the Kennedy assassination, Powers was heavily involved in the Kennedy Library. In 2013, many of his manuscripts and memorabilia were sold at public auction.
