Harvey Hollister Bundy Sr., (March 30, 1888 - 1963), was an American lawyer and Special Assistant to the Secretary of War during the second World War. Born in Grand Rapids, Michigan, to McGeorge Bundy, a lawyer, he was grandson to Solomon Bundy, a lawyer and New York Congressman.[1] Harvey attended Yale and was initiated in the Skull & Bones in 1909. After his law degree he did some world traveling.
In 1914, Harvey began working for Justice Wendell Holmes and was soon joined by Alger Hiss (CFR). Hiss was a communist spy and later a key player during Franklin Roosevelt’s presidency. Harvey’s son William P. Bundy narrowly missed having his career ruined because William had financially helped Alger Hiss. Harvey had five children. Three of these had ties to the Skull and Bones order also.
Harvey became Assistant Secretary of State in July, 1931 until Mar. 1933 under Henry Lewis Stimson. Secretary of State H.L. Stimson was also a Skull & Bones member (init. 1888) Harvey’s son McGeorge would co-author a book with Stimson entitled On Active Service in Peace and War in 1940. Harvey was special legal assistant to the U.S. Secretary of the Treasury. Harvey became the Special Assistant to the Secretary of War during W.W. II.
He traveled with the Secretary of War overseas numerous times. It is often said if you want to know where the real power lies look at a man ‘s advisors. Here we see Harvey giving advice to the US. secretary of War and Bones pp. 49-50 where he gives various reasons why Covington & Burling are highly suspected of left-wing activity.) William began his War during the United States’ largest military challenge in history. Harvey was one of the most key figures in the supervision of the Manhattan Project developing the Atom bomb. He was the key Pentagon man.
He did liaison work between the War Dept. and Office of Scientific Research and Development. In 1952, Harvey took over the Carnegie Endowment for Peace from John Foster Dulles. In 1971 for instance, the Carnegie Endowment for Peace spent over $2 million, and had assets of $41 million. The stated object of the foundation is "to promote international peace." Harvey got the job at Carnegie because Alger Hiss had been convicted of perjury. John Foster Dulles was on record recommending Alger Hiss to replace himself.
