Robert Francis Kennedy (1925-1968) American politician
Speech, University of Pennsylvania (6 May 1964)

Dwight David Eisenhower (1890-1969) American general, US President (1953-61)

The earliest reference I could find was second-hand, in William Safire, The New Language of Politics, "middle of the road" (1968) (later published as Safire's Political Dictionary, and including the entry through the 2008 edition).
