During the briefing that you received from the Office of
Personnel, you asked how the Agency handled contacts with
Harvard faculty members since their Guidelines went into effect.
Enclosed are sam les of standard correspondence from the
Agency's recruiter to Harvard faculty members
(university department chairmen) who are teaching in areas of
employment interest to us. One letter is directed to those
in the liberal arts areas; the other to those in scientific
areas. The letters are usually accompanied by one of the
enclosed bulletin board items plus a silver brochure (of which
you already have a copy) with the recruiter's name card
attached.
The Harvard placement office is aware that these letters
are bein routinely sent. However, when our recruiter
I sets up a personal meeting with a
m er, e placement office is specifically
advised.
I hope that you will find the foregoing and the enclosed
helpful,
Sincerely,

I hope you will share the enclosed bulletin and brochure with
those students you feel might be interested in federal career
opportunities.
The students we particularly wish to contact are those with
academic course work which is directing them to a foreign area
specialization. The A.M. candidate is of primary interest to
us, but we are also interested in those undergraduates whose
academic achievement and desire will lead them into graduate
work. Agency employees are encouraged to continue their
studies and we are usually able to grant tuition assistance
for work-related part-time graduate programs offered by the
universities in the Washington, D. C. area. On occasion, an
academic leave of absence for full-time study is offered.
During the summer of 1976 there will be several opportunities
in our Summer Intern program for the graduate who has completed
the first year of study in a regional or international special-
ization.
Brochures and general information are available in the Career
Counseling and Placement Office of your university. I would
be very pleased to receive correspondence or resumes from your
students.
Sincerely yours,
Personnel Representative

I hope you will share the enclosed bulletin and brochure with
those students you feel might be interested in federal career
opportunities.
The students we particularly wish to contact are those with
an interest in research and writing activities. For others
we will have opportunities in communications systems develop-
ment and management and there will also be some career positions
for those who have emphasized computer applications in their
academic work. The M.S. candidate is of primary interest to
us, but we are also interested in those undergraduates whose
academic achievement and desire will lead them into graduate
work. Agency employees are encouraged to continue their studies
