No, he was always known as "Dick." He was also a cat-lover. You know the Dylan song with the line "...a Siamese cat on his shoulder" or something like that? That referred to Amb. Walters. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 38.115.185.4 (talk) 20:03, 30 July 2013 (UTC)

Actually, the verse in Bob Dylan's "Like a Rolling Stone"

"You used to ride on a chrome horse with your diplomat/Who carried on his shoulder a Siamese cat"

probably referred to Andy Warhol, whom Dylan used to call "the diplomat" and who had dated Dylan's former girlfriend Edie Sedgwick, rumored to be the subject of "Like a Rolling Stone" and two other Dylan songs. loupgarous (talk) 16:00, 24 December 2017 (UTC)

Its staggering how few people know of [1]. His contributions to the USA were immeasurable.

Quote

I'm trying to verify and track down the date/context of the following quote ascribed to Mr. Walters

"Institutions are what nations make of them. If the rule of law is to replace anarchy, international law involves surrender of a certain amount of sovereignty."

Any assistance would be appreciated.Tfleming (talk) 18:50, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

Fraud warning

A SPAM-Mail from a so called "Ms Susa A. Walters" (who sais that she is the widow of Vernon A. Walters) asks for money to cure her cancer! A Mr. Randy Walker (who is said to be a director of the bank) asks to send money for him to the Bank of Texas! In the mail is indicated a link to the article of Walters in this Wikipedia. Evidently this is a fraud! Do not respond to such mails!DidiWeidmann (talk) 09:54, 20 February 2012 (UTC)

Not least because he never married! There isn't and never was a "Mrs. Walters." 38.115.185.4 (talk) 19:41, 18 March 2014 (UTC)HelenChicago

Spam Mail is still going round. -- dokape — Preceding unsigned comment added by 134.3.124.119 (talk) 15:37, 22 April 2012 (UTC)

7/11/2ß12 There is a german scam version too. I tried to warn the people and inserted warning in the text. I think only a few people will read this talk-section so a warning in the text is efficent.
