Charles G. "Bebe" Rebozo (November 17,1912-May 8,1998) was a Florida banker who gained fame for being a close friend and confidant of President Richard Nixon.

Always a staunch supporter of Nixon, Rebozo became involved in the Watergate crisis when he was investigated by a congressional committee for accepting a $100,000 cash contribution on behalf of the Nixon campaign from industrialist Howard Hughes.

 Charles (Bebe) Rebozo
Rebozo, the inscrutable man who is closest of all to Nixon the latest example of his intimacy being the donation of his hundred-thousand-dollar Bethesda home to Julie Nixon Eisenhower - deserves a somewhat closer examination here, for in some ways he personifies the Cowboy type.
Rebozo clearly suspected there was something dubious about these stocks (he even told an FBI agent that he had called up Nixon's brother Donald to check on their validity), but he subsequently sold them for cash, even after an insurance company circular was mailed out to every bank listing them as stolen.
Rebozo was there to support Nixon at all the milestones on his political trail: in Florida after the 1952 election that made him vice president, after the major Republican setback in 1958, and at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles in 1960, when news came in that he had lost to John E Kennedy.

Kalmbach was not exactly a willing witness; he refused to divulge details of conversations he had held with Rebozo because of their lawyer-client relationship.
Rebozo then revealed that the President had asked him to speak to Kalmbach about the $100,000 contribution, which, Rebozo said, had come in two installments of $50,000 in 1969 and 1970.
He had given part to the President's secretary, Rose Mary Woods; part to the President's two brothers, F. Donald and Edward Nixon; and part to "unnamed others." That, of course, was an illegal use of a campaign contribution, unless the funds had been spent by the recipients on Nixon's campaign.

 Nixon's daughters end rift over gift / Presidential library gains access to $19 million bequest from family friend
Early Wednesday, the two sisters put aside their differences, hammered out basic terms after a judge ordered mediation, and shared an emotional hug outside a hotel conference room in Miami, where the suit had been filed, according to people familiar with the deal.
The legal battle focused on a clause in Rebozo's trust that said three people -- the Nixon daughters and Robert Abplanalp, another close family friend -- would have ultimate control over the use of the $19 million.
But around the time of Rebozo's death, in 1998, the two sisters already were feuding over whether the library and the foundation that operates it should be controlled by the sisters and a small group of Nixon family friends or by a larger board of directors, an idea pushed by Taylor.

SANTA ANA, Calif. (AP) — A probate judge urged the daughters of the late President Richard M. Nixon and his presidential library to end a legal fight over how to spend a $20 million bequest.
The Nixon Library and Birthplace in Yorba Linda in January sued a trust created in the will of longtime Nixon friend, banker Charles "Bebe" Rebozo of Key Biscayne, Fla., who died in 1998.

Eisenhower's vision prevailed, and for the past eight years the library and its substantial assets have been operated by a 24-member board that includes the sisters and such former Nixon White House figures as Henry Kissinger, Nixon loyalist and Reagan speech-writer Ken Kachigian, and former US ambassador to Britain Walter Annenberg.
Under the terms of the bequest, Rebozo left the money to the Nixon Library on the condition that all spending should be approved by Nixon's daughters and another long-time Nixon friend, Robert Abplanalp.
But the sisters have been unable to agree on how the money should be controlled, and it is sitting in a Florida bank until either they reach an agreement or one of them is ousted.
