AN ADVANCED TRAINING PROGRAM
The Senior Seminar in Foreign Policy is the
Federal Government's most advanced pro-
gram to develop senior executives in the for-
eign affairs field. This select, ten-month pro-
gram, begun in 1958, is conducted annually
by the Foreign Service Institute of the
Department of State
Twenty-seven senior career officers of the
Department of State, the United States Infor-
mation Agency, Agency for International De-
velopment, Central Intelligence Agency, De-
partment of Agriculture, Department of De-
fense and the Armed Services, constitute the
Seventeenth Seminar. Members' average age is
forty-seven and their average length of Gov-
ernment service is twenty-one years.
AN OBJECTIVE:
Updating knowledge of the USA
One major goal of the Seminar is to update
Members' knowledge of domestic U. S. affairs.
The study of current issues - political, eco-
nomic and social - in this country and of con-
temporary trends in American science, indus-
try and cultural life is a major feature of the
Seminar's curriculum. On the spot exchanges
with leaders in these fields and with eminent
educators, businessmen, labor leaders and
chief executives of state and municipalities
during field trips are an important component
of the Seminar program.
This exposure enhances Members' ability
to understand and interpret dynamic changes
in the United States and to reach thoughtful
judgments which will be of help in their fu-
ture official capacities.
The study of domestic affairs is a supple-
ment to the Seminar's study of foreign policy
problems. The Seminar program also includes
individual travel to regions of the world in
which Members have a special interest. These
trips result in reports and case studies useful
to Federal Agencies.
