5 General Smith was Eisenhower's chief of staff during the Normandy invasion; after the war he served as US ambassador to Moscow, then head of the CIA in the Truman administration. Eisenhower appointed him to the number two slot in the State Department where he was one of the main architects of the TP-Ajax.
