John Marshall Leddy (June 29, 1914 – August 31, 1997) was an official in the United States Department of State, who mainly focused on U.S. trade policy.
John M. Leddy was born in Chicago and raised in Miami Beach, Florida. After high school, Leddy took a short business course in Miami, Florida, and then, in 1933, moved to Washington, D.C. to live with an aunt. During this time, Leddy worked at the Home Owners' Loan Corporation and later the Pan American Union during the day and took classes at Georgetown University at night. At the Pan American Union, he worked in the division of financial and economic information, specializing in economic information about Latin America.
After college, Leddy took a job with the Trade Agreements Division of the United States Department of State in 1941. His work initially focused on U.S. trade with Peru and Mexico. He then worked with State Department lawyer Marc Catudal, an expert on the most favored nation clause, on the legal framework for trade agreements.
Too much sorrow
Too much pain
Too many reasons
No to go back again
Leavin' without her
Is too much to bear
But when we're together
Too much nothin' to share
But too much love
I've never seen
Too much love
I don't know what it means
Not enough caring
Too many lies
Sooner or later
One too many goodbyes
I got no reason
For hangin' around
And all my possessions
Start to weighin' me down
But too much love
I've never known
Too much love
