Vincent William de Roulet (1925 – August 11, 1975) was an American businessman, politician, and statesman. He served as United States Ambassador to Jamaica from 1969 through 1973.
Biography
[ edit ]
De Roulet was born in Los Angeles , California . He lived there until moving to Manhasset, New York in 1954.[1]
Business career
[ edit ]
De Roulet was elected to the board of directors of the Meadow Brook National Bank in 1964.[2] He also owned Towne-Oller and Associates, a market research firm.[1] De Roulet served as mayor of North Hills, New York .[3]
Ambassadorship
[ edit ]
De Roulet was appointed United States Ambassador to Jamaica by President Richard M. Nixon in August 1969,[3] and presented his credentials on October 23, 1969. While serving as ambassador, he allegedly sought political contributions from American corporations for foreign elections; Alcoa gave these contributions to Jamaican officials.[4] He left the post on July 18, 1973, when the Government of Jamaica declared him persona non grata ;[5] Michael Manley , the Prime Minister of Jamaica , requested that de Roulet be recalled after it was revealed that de Roulet suggested the United States Congress make a pre-election political deal before the 1972 Jamaican elections.[6] He officially resigned in August.[7]
During the hearings of the United States Senate Watergate Committee , it was alleged that de Roulet received an "express commitment" from the Nixon administration through Herbert W. Kalmbach , Nixon's personal lawyer, to receive a more prestigious ambassadorship in Europe in exchange for a campaign donation of $100,000 to Nixon's 1972 re-election campaign ;[8] de Roulet and Nixon both denied the charge.[9] [10]
Personal life
[ edit ]
De Roulet married Lorinda de Roulet (née Payson), the daughter of Joan Whitney Payson and Charles Shipman Payson , in 1951.[11] The couple had three children, daughters Whitney and Bebe, and son Daniel.[12] De Roulet died in 1975 of a heart attack.[13]
