Harry S. Truman (1884–1972) was the 33rd President of the United States, serving from 1945 to 1953 after succeeding Franklin D. Roosevelt during the closing months of World War II. His presidency encompassed the end of the war, the founding years of the United Nations, the beginning of the Cold War, the Marshall Plan, the Berlin Airlift, and the Korean War.

Carlos P. Romulo (1899–1985) was a Filipino diplomat, journalist, military officer, and statesman who became one of the most prominent international diplomats of the postwar era. A Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, he served as President of the United Nations General Assembly from 1949 to 1950 and later as the Philippines' Secretary of Foreign Affairs. Romulo was also one of the original signatories of the United Nations Charter in 1945.
