Bryce Harlow, 70, advisor to Eisenhower, Nixon, Ford

WASHINGTON -- Former presidential counselor Bryce Harlow, 70, who served in the Eisenhower and Nixon administrations, died Tuesday of chronic obstructive lung disease.

"He was quite a man, a political activist who spent a lifetime in service to his country," said Senate Minority Leader Robert Dole, R-Kan., in a brief eulogy on the Senate floor. "He never hesitated to offer his services when problems on Capitol Hill or the White House seemed too big to solve."

Mr. Harlow was a lobbyist for Proctor & Gamble before retiring in 1978.

A familiar figure in congressional and government circles, he was a gentle, courtly man known for a soft-sell approach to politics.

Mr. Harlow was the first man appointed to the White House staff after Richard Nixon was elected in 1968. He handled the delicate job of congressional relations and was a presidential counselor, assigned to devising long-term strategy on domestic problems.

He quit the government after a year to return to his private lobbyist's job, but Nixon tapped him to return to the White House when the Watergate scandal forced key staff members to resign.

Mr. Harlow also served as an aide to President Gerald Ford and in 1981 received the Presidential Medal of Freedom from President Reagan.

His son, also named Bryce, followed his father to the White House and is Reagan's congressional liaison.

Nearly three decades ago, the elder Mr. Harlow had served in the Eisenhower administration, as an administrative assistant and later as deputy assistant for congressional affairs.

As a member of Eisenhower's legislative liaison team, Mr. Harlow frequently was credited with knowing more about the legislative process and what makes it tick than anyone else in Washington.

Mr. Harlow was also successful in communicating with the two Texas Democrats who ran Congress then; House Speaker Sam Rayburn and Senate Majority Leader Lyndon Johnson.

Mr. Harlow was born Aug. 11, 1916 in Oklahoma City and graduated in 1936 from the University of Oklahoma with a Phi Beta Kappa key and a degree in political science.

He was a Democrat who shifted parties, coming to Washington in 1938 as an assistant librarian in the House of Representatives.

He left the Army a lieutenant colonel after World War II and returned to a job as staff assistant and then chief clerk of the House Armed Services Committee.

Betty Larimore Bryce, Mr. Harlow's first wife with whom he had three children, died in 1982. He married Sarah Jane Studebaker in July 1983.

After his retirement, he worked part time as a census enumerator, and at the Vint Hill recreation center for the Fauquier County Parks and Recreation Department.
