After Roosevelt’s death in 1945, President Truman appointed BERNARD BARUCH the United States representative to the United Nations Atomic Energy Commission. He proposed the elimination of nuclear weapons after implementation of a system of international controls, inspections and punishment for violations. On Mr. Baruch’s 90th birthday in 1960, a commemorative park bench in Lafayette Park, across from the White House, was dedicated to him. He continued to advise presidents on international affairs until his death in 1965 at the age of ninety-four. He had served every president since Woodrow Wilson.
