According to [[Arthur Schlesinger, Jr.]], Fulbright was [[President John F. Kennedy]]'s first choice as [[Secretary of State]].<ref>{{cite book |last=Schlesinger |first=Arthur M., Jr. |title=Journals 1952–2000 | year=2008 |publisher=[[Penguin Books]] |page=98 |isbn=978-0-14-311435-2 |quote=Elizabeth Farmer told me this evening that, at five this afternoon, it looked as if it would be Rusk in State, with Bowles and Bundy as Undersecretaries. (Ken, by the way, told me that Jack had called him on the 7th and talked seriously about Mac as Secretary.) I asked why Rusk had finally emerged. Elizabeth said, 'He was the lowest common denominator.' Apparently Harris Wofford succeeded in stirring up the [[Jew]]s and [[African Americans]] so effectively that the uproar prevented a Fulbright nomination for secretary of state.}}</ref>
