THE WHITE HOUSE
November 10, 1972
It was very satisfying to see that the President appointed an
Army officer of your abilities to be the number two position in
the Agency.
It has been a long time since I saw you in Brazil with General
Mather so I am taking the liberty of enclosing a biography to
refresh your memory. My Portuguese is still acceptable
although my Russian is withering away from a lack of practice.
I have also taken the liberty of enclosing a booklet on the White
House Fellows to give you a better idea of the program. The
Fellows have been meeting with the Director annually and they
are all looking forward to this event. Prior to that meeting I
would very much like to pay my respects to you, Sir.

The purpose of the White House Fellows pro- The White House Fellows program is de-

ence in the process of governing the Nation
and a sense of personal involvement in the Remarks of the President,
leadership of the society.
It is essential to the healthy functioning of October 3, 1964
our system that we have in the nongovern-
mental sector a generous supply of leaders
who have an understanding-gained at first-
hand-of the problems of national govern-
ment. In a day when the individual feels in-
creasingly remote from the centers of power
and decision, such leaders can help their fellow
citizens comprehend the process by which the
Nation is governed.
In this country today, we produce great num-
bers of skilled professionals. But too few of this
intellectual elite provide the society with states-
manlike leadership and guidance in public
affairs. If the sparsely settled American col-
onies of the late 18th century could produce
Washington,. Jefferson, Adams, Monroe, Madi-
son, Hamilton, Franklin, and others of super-
lative talent, breadth and statesmanship,
should we not be able to produce, in this gener-
ation, ten times that number? We are not
doing so.
Surely the raw material is still there. And
just as surely more must be done in the devel-
opment of our ablest young people to inspire
and facilitate the emergence of such leaders
and statesmen. Their horizons and experience
must be broadened to give them a sense of
personal involvement in the leadership of the
society, a vision of greatness for the society,
and a sense of responsibility for bringing that
greatness to reality.

Program in
Operation
History. Believing that "freedom in its deep-
est sense requires full, zestful, knowledgeable
participation," and wanting to provide oppor-
tunity for participation in national affairs for
some of America's emerging leaders, Presi-
dent Lyndon Johnson announced the founding
of the White House Fellows program on Octo.
ber 3, 1964. The plan originated with a sugges-
tion of then Secretary of Health, Education,
and Welfare John W. Gardner. Five years later,
President Nixon called the program an example
of "tremendous foresight and perception."
Each year since 1964, a group of 15 to 20
exceptionally promising young citizens drawn
from all sectors of the national life, have been
chosen to serve as White House Fellows. For
one year, they are assigned as assistants to
members of the Cabinet or the White House
staff. In addition to their daily tasks, they par-
ticipate in educational activities revolving
around the government's processes, personali-
ties, and problems. In this way, they learn
firsthand the major issues faced by their gov-
ernment and the challenges of finding and
implementing solutions.
In referring to the foresight and perception
of Mr. Gardner, President Nixon was indicating
that the White House Fellows program has
achieved results far beyond what was originally
expected. In the presentation ceremony on June
16, 1969, in which he announced and pre-
sented the 1969-70 Fellows, the President
said, "At the time it was developed five years
ago, it was generally thought that those who
would be selected as Fellows from around the
country would have an opportunity to broaden
their perspective.... what we found is that the
presence of the White House Fellows in the
departments has broadened our perspective."
Assignments. The heart of the White House
Fellows program is the job assignment, for this
is what enables the Fellows to come away with
a sense of what participation in government
policy-making really means. Fellows are nor-
mally assigned to White House staff mem-
bers, the Vice President, and the mem-
bers of the Cabinet. Other top-level assign-
ments may also include the Director of the
Office of Management and Budget, the Presi-
dent's Science Advisor, the Director of the
Agency for International Development, the Di-
rector of the Office of Economic Opportunity,
and the Director of the Environmental Protec-
tion Agency.
The tasks of the individual Fellows vary
greatly, depending in some part on the talents
and interests of the particular Fellows, and in
great part on what needs to be done. Fellows
may respond to specific assignments, or they
may initiate projects. Naturally, the role of
an individual Fellow depends in some degree on
the personal relationship he or she forms with
his or her specific Cabinet-level officer.
In most cases, by the end of the year the
typical Fellow will have written speeches, at-
tended conferences, supervised staff work, re-
viewed or helped draft proposed legislation,
answered congressional inquiries, chaired
meetings, drafted reports, conducted briefings,
and spearheaded one or more projects. Some
Fellows will have dealt with the whole range
of policy matters faced by their respective offi-
cials, while others will have become deeply
involved in just a few select issues. Through-
out the year, emphasis is placed on linking
theory and practice, analysis and action.

Though they operate on a high level, the
work done by the Fellows is not always glam-
orous. Sometimes it is frustrating and there are
times when it becomes routine. But the point
of the program has always been the challenge
of service-if there is a job to be done, the
White House Fellow will try to do it. The tasks
assigned a White House Fellow demand flexi-
bility, willingness to work, and the capacity to
learn quickly-the very qualities which made
the Fellows so promising, or successful, in
their own private careers prior to the Fellow-
ship.
White House Fellows should not necessarily
expect to continue what they had been doing
before entering the program. As often as not,
the Fellow with an education background finds
himself or herself working on a public health
project; the engineer finds himself or herself
setting up a job training program; and the
architect discovers that he or she is doing
more writing than designing. Rather than fit
the Fellows to their pre-Fellowship specialties,
the program aims to ''tap their resources'and
to develop their ability in its broadest sense.
Since adaptation to new challenges and experi-
ences is the main order, White House Fellows
must be broad-gauged.

tion. To supplement the learning inher-
ent in their assignments, and to broaden their
exposure, the Fellows take part in a series of
meetings, usually held two or three times a
week and often over lunch or dinner-that are
off-the-record discussions with officials, lead-
ers, and experts from both the public and pri-
vate sector. In 1971-72, these discussions in-
cluded members of the White House staff, the
Cabinet, Office and Agency heads, Senators
and Congressmen, Governors, Mayors, Chiefs
of Police, Presidential candidates, pollsters,
journalists, labor leaders, corporation chiefs,
jurists, educators, military leaders and mem-
bers of the diplomatic corps.
One of the most recent, and most rewarding,
segments of the Fellows' education program is
their overseas travel. This experience is a
tripartite one; consisting of a series of brief-
ings by officials of the foreign affairs com-
munity, as well as invitations to the embassies
of the countries to be visited; the trip itself;
and a round of debriefing sessions upon the
Fellows' return to the United States. Early in
their Fellowship year, the 1971-72 Fellows
traveled to Eastern Asia on a Nixon Doctrine
foreign trade theme. The visit included Japan,
Korea, Hong Kong, The Philippines, South Viet-
nam, Singapore, Indonesia, Thailand; the Fel-
lows returned via Rome, where they met with
the Pope, and Geneva, where they had meet-
ings with heads of several international orga-
nizations. In May, a three-day Canadian visit
included a meeting with Prime Minister Tru-
deau as well as leaders in both public and pri-
vate sectors. In June, a sub-group of Fellows
vrisited Eastern Europe, including Poland,
Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia; in July, an-
other sub-group traveled to Africa, visiting
Tunisia, Ethiopia, Tanzania, Malawi and Zaire.
Such travel has been of great value, not only in
understanding the countries visited, but in
gaining a better understanding of America
through their eyes. It has provided the Presi-
dent and his staff an independent assessment
of foreign policy, and has benefitted the coun-
try in terms of the goodwill generated by the
Fellows.
Domestic travel for the 1971-72 Fellows
has included exposure to the urban problems
of New York, Chicago and Atlanta. There were
opportunities to ride squad cars, walk ghetto
streets and meet with minority business and
political leaders. There were also meetings with
university students, professors and adminis-
trators, newspaper editors, citizen "watchdog"
committees. The Fellows became familiar with
a part of the Army's domestic action program
at Ft. Bragg, North Carolina, watched the
launch of Apollo 16 and saw firsthand the com-
plex problems facing the Florida Everglades.
Wherever possible, spouses have been included
in the education program.
The education program is supported by pri-
vate funds. Since 1964, this support has come
from such sources as the Carnegie Corpora-
tion, Ford Foundation, Rockefeller Brothers
Fund, and the Cincinnati Enquirer Foundation.
Companies such as U.S. Steel, General Foods,
International Business Machines, Olin, General
Electric, and North American Rockwell have
given additional assistance.

Results. Of primary importance to the White
House Fellows program since its creation has
been the understanding that after their year
in Washington, the Fellows will return to their
respective communities and professions,
A sizable number of "graduate" Fellows
have become involved in the activities of their
local or state governments. One has served
as executive secretary to the Mayor of San
Francisco, another as a member of the New
Hampshire state legislature, and a third as di?
rector of finance for the State of Illinois. Also
included among former White House Fellows
have been the director of Idaho's Water Re-
sources Board, the Attorney General of the
State of Alaska, and the director of public
works for the City of Baltimore.
Although the professional pursuits and the
career interests of the former Fellows are di-
verse, the distinguishing mark of a former
White House Fellow is an increased involve-
ment in public affairs. The sharpened perspec-
tive and the increased understanding gained
in the year as a Fellow have dramatically in-
creased the leadership potential-and per-
formance-of these young Americans. The ex-
posure to a fuller range of contemporary issues
and governmental needs leaves a lasting mark.
Since it started in 1964, the White House
Fellows program has had 136 participants.
Among them have been corporate executives,
independent businessmen and businesswom-
en, graduate students, college professors and
administrators. attorneys and physicians en-
gineers and architects, and state and local
government officials. They come from almost
all the states, and various political backgrounds
and philosophies. The selection process is
nonpartisan.

The selection process is designed to identify
young men and women who give promise of
providing the kind of leadership that will in-
fluence the shape of our society for many years
to come. Normally, Fellows will have completed
their education and begun their careers, and
each will have demonstrated exceptional ability,
marked leadership qualities, unusual promise
of future development, high moral character,
and tangible expressions of concern about the
problems facing our society. The Commission
on White House Fellows is appointed by the
President to oversee the selection of Fellows
and the conduct of the program. Chairmen of
the Commission have been David Rockefeller,
C. Douglas Dillon, Judge William Hastie, Arthur
S. Flemming, and Charles B. Thornton.
In order to give fair consideration to the
large number of applicants, the White House
Fellows selection process has been partially
decentralized. Eleven regional panels, consist-
ing of distinguished citizens from a variety of
fields, evaluate applicants and recommend the
most outstanding for further consideration by
the Commission.
Each year, in late summer or early fall, the
White House announces the program and in-
vites applications and nominations. The appli-
cation period is approximately September 1 to
December 15. A candidate may be nominated
for the program by an individual or organiza-
tion, though a nomination is not essential. In
any case, each applicant must complete the
official White House Fellows Application and
mail it to the President's Commission on White
House Fellows, The White House, Washington,
D.C. 20500.
All applications and supporting papers are
given an initial screening under Commission
supervision in Washington, D.C. Those suc-
cessful in this screening are designated Re-
gional Semi-Finalists and their applications are
forwarded to the appropriate regional selection
panel. Each regional panel conducts a com-
petitive screening of the applications referred
to it, with the purpose of selecting the Re-
gional Finalists who will be interviewed by that
panel.
Following these interviews, the regional
panels forward their comments and recommen-
dations to the Commission on White House
Fellows. Upon receipt of the advice of the
panels, the Commission invites approximately
thirty candidates, the National Finalists, to
Washington for a final selection meeting in
May with the Commission. After additional
interviews and reviews of all pertinent informa-
tion, the Commission makes its recommenda-
tions to the President, who then names the
new group of White House Fellows.
General Information. Applications will be ac-
cepted from persons from all occupations who
will have attained the age of 23 but not the
age of 36 by the beginning date of the pro-
gram. Applicants must be citizens of the
United States. No employees of the Federal
Government are eligible for the program,
except career personnel of the Armed Services.
Applications will be accepted from candidates
overseas provided they can return to the
United States for regional interviews at their
own expense.
Nominations may be made by an organiza-
tion (usually the employer), or by an individual
or group having special knowledge of the nom-
inee's abilities, potential. Organizations may
nominate more than one candidate and are en-
couraged to do so.
White House Fellows receive a government
salary of up to $27,289 for the year, com-
mensurate with previous education, experience
and earnings. Fringe benefits from previous
employers may be continued, but no other
outside remuneration is permitted.
The program begins each year in early Sep-
tember and concludes at the end of August
of the following year. The deadline for appli-
cations and nominations for the 1973-74 pro-
gram is December 15, 1972.
The regional selection panels are located in
Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Denver, New
York, Philadelphia, Seattle, San Francisco, St.
Louis and Washington, D.C.
All inquiries and requests for application
blanks should be addressed to the Director,
President's Commission on White House Fel-
lows, The White House, Washington, D.C.
20500.
