Harold F. Linder, 80, a former assistant secretary of state, president and chairman of the Export-Import Bank and ambassador to Canada, died Monday at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City following a heart attack.
Mr. Linder's first career was as an investment banker in New York. His second was with the federal government -- in addition to his work with the State Department and heading the Ex-Im Bank, he was a Navy officer stationed in Washington during World War II. His third career consisted of his work helping to resettle Jews fleeing from Germany before and after the war and with the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton, N.J., of which he was a former chairman of the board.
