Frederic Collin Walcott served as an assistant to President Herbert Hoover in the American Relief Administration (formerly the U.S. Food Administration) during the First World War. Created in 1917, the organization played a significant role in support of the reconstruction of Europe following the war and was a major source of food relief during the Russian Civil War (1917-1922). In 1921, Walcott traveled to the Soviet Union in his work with the American Relief Administration. He later served in the U.S. Senate from 1929 to 1935.
