Wallace Harry Graham (October 9, 1910[1] – January 8, 1996) was the Physician to the President (1945-1953) during the presidency of Harry S. Truman.[2] In April 1950 President Truman sent Graham with a medical team to visit and assist King Ibn Saud, who, among other things, suffered from severe arthritis.[3] The response from Riyadh was favorable, and the visit helped cement relations between the United States and the Saudi kingdom, which had been strained by the US recognition of Israel.[3]
