SUBJECT: Princeton University's Educational Program for Federal
Executives in Mid-Career
1. At DDTR's request, I have obtained some information about-the
nominating procedures in connection with the above subject for the fellow-
ships recently announced by the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and Inter-
national Affairs. Ed Keiloch, Office of Career Development, Civil Service
Commission, works quite closely in Federal - university programs, and was
able tv furnish me most of the following information.
2. Requests for nominations were personally sent by President
Goheen to a limited group of Government officials such as Secretary Mac-
Namara, Secretary Goldberg, and Commissioner Macy. (Keiloch remarked that
the coverage attained was more randean than ordered.) Preparatory to
selection, Dr. John Corson had devised a "test-market" curriculum in
dealing with several facets of Government affairs. Apparently Dr. Corson
had considerable weight in approving the few nominees selected for this
pilot program.
3. The original purpose was to select employees in the GS-13 to -15
range. Keiloch informs me that the "mid-career" employees finally selected
are all in the GS-15 to -17 range.
~+. There is no indication in Registrar records that CIA was ever
invited to participate, although normally, invitations dealing with exter-
nal training programs are referred to this office for preparation of reply.
Keiloch reports that mast agencies were unaware of the program until the
5 April meeting of the Interagency Advisory Group. At this particular
meeting, both Keiloch and Kenneth Mulligan, Director of the Office of
~ ~ ji Career Development, spoke of the Princeton Fellowship Program and informed
I the group that close of nc~ninations was being extended to 15 May 1962.

5. At the 20 July meeting of the Committee on Interagency Training
Programs (IAG-129) which I attended, Mr. Mulligan reported that 35 nomina-
tions had been submitted and that Princeton officials were delighted at
the high calibre of the nominees. (Princeton's press release of 9 July
would suggest that the actual selections had already been made some two
weeks prior.)
6. Ed Keiloch has offered to forward me fuller information on the
Princeton Fellowships. If afforded the opportunity, I would think CIA.
should participate in this external training program in one~apacity or
