One of the most effective vehicles for doing this has been the President's Commission on Executive Exchange. The Commission has made tireless efforts to incorporate outstanding business execu- tives into the decision-making processes of the Federal government and to provide senior government executives the opportunity to benefit from fresh insights by working in private business. This pro- gram has more than met my expectations, and it has resulted in a dramatic increase in understanding and cooperation between the public and private sectors. _ I am proud to reaffirm this Administration's dedication to the conti- nuing activities of the President's Commission on Executive Ex- change; and I commend the corporations, agencies, Commission- ers, and Executives on their commitment to the success of this vital program.

The effect is the stimulation of new ideas and techniques which result in better management of Federal ga.ernment agencies and greater cooperation with business, thus developing a cadre of exper- ienced executives who will contri- bute substance and judgment in their policy-making assignments. Presidential Exchange Executives -E) residential Exchange Execu- r tives are accomplished men and women who have attained pol- icy making positions within their organizations. They are talented individuals with proven records of success and significant career ach- ievements. The range of executives partici- pating in the President's Commis- sion on Executive Exchange spans the full spectrum of professional experience. The executives' exten- sive experience includes financial analysis, law, marketing, econom- ics, operations research, general management, strategic planning, engineering, science, high tech- nology, long-range Planning, or international business. Presidential Exchange Execu- tives are America's present and future leaders. They improve un- derstanding and cooperation be- tween business and government while solving problems common to both sectors. Their commitment to excellence is steadfast and they offer our camtry a great resource. The Goal In he goal of the President's I Commission on Executive Exchange is: At an overall level, providing a forum for the effective interchange of ideas, innovations and under- standing between business and government, establishing a vehicle for cooperation and communica- tion between the two. At a corporate or agency level, providing specific opportunities to gain the benefits of differing back- grounds and experience in ad- dressing the questions and issues that face business and the Federal government. At an individual level, provid- ing a new dimension to the execu- tives' experience, enriching and better preparing them to contri- bute further throughout their careers. New Corporate Option ir he President's Commission on Executive Exchange has recently implemented an addition- al program which enables the Commission to attract key, senior business executives. On Septum- her 30th, 1986, the Congress unanimously passed and the Pres- ident signed into law P.L. 99-424, legislation which enables a corpo- ration the option of continuing to pay an executive's salary while participating in the President's Commission on Executive Ex- change. This is not a require- ment for participation, however, many corporations have elected to take advantage of this opportunity. Executives participating in this special program remain subject to conflict of interest provisions and all other laws and regulations gov- erning Federal employees, except for those pertaining to compensa- tion and related benefits. Nomination, Selection and Placement orporate nominations for the President's Commission on Executive Exchange are expected by June 1. Federal government nominations are expected by April 1. Critical assignments are filled on a continuous basis according to the request of the Cabinet Secre- tary. All executives must return to their sponsoring corporation or agency at the conclusion of their one year assignment and remain in their employmert for a specified amount of time. Corporate execu- tives must sign a contract commit- ting them to return to their corpo- ration and remain in their employ- ment for at least one year after the conclusion of their assignment. Federal government executives must sign a contract committing them to return to the Federal government agency and remain in their employment for at least three years after the conclusion of their assignment.

Upon completion of in-depth selection interviews and accep- tance into the program, the Exec- live Director negotiates suitable assignments which will maximize the executives' backgrounds, re- sources and talents. Corporate ex- ecutives are interviewed 1:Iry Feder- al government agencies and Feder- al government executives are in- terviewed by selected corpora- tions. After further negotiations, executives are placed in mutually agreed upon positions with as- signments normally beginning in October. The Commission moni- tors the assignments and counsels the executives throughout the year, guaranteeing the experience bene- fits all concerned. The President's Commission on Executive Exchange adheres to the principles of equal employ- ment opportunity. Corporations and Federal government agencies are therefore encouraged to nomi- nate only their most experienced and talented men, women and mi- norities for this program. Final selection of Presidential Exchange Executives is at the discretion of the President's Com- mission on Executive Exchange and is based on Commission es- tablished criteria and the availabil- ity of appropriate assignments. Legal and Ethical Conduct n residential Exchange Execu- r- lives must sustain the highest standards of performance and en- sure open and honest policies free from conflict of interest. The President's Commission on Executive Exchange adheres to the strictest standards of legal and ethical conduct. Presidential Ex- change Executives are expected to carry out their Exchange assign- ments in a manner befitting the responsibility entrusted to them, and in keeping with high moral, legal and ethical standards not on- ly in their professional but also their personal lives. Commission Standards All Presidential Exchange Ex- ecutives are required to: Serve the United States govern- ment with honor; Maintain the high quality of Commission standards as specified in the Commission Guidelines booklet; Conduct themselves during and after work hours in such a manner as not to reflect ad- versely upon the President's Commission on Executive Exchange, the corporation, or the Federal government; Achieve a superior perform- ance level; Familiarize themselves with the standards of conduct of the organization to which they are assigned. Corporate executives must sign a contract committing them to return to their corporation and remain in their employment for at least one year after the conclusion of their assignment. Federal government executives must sign a contract committing them to return to their Federal government agency and remain in their employment for at least three years after the conclusion of their assignment. Periodic evaluations will be submitted to the corporations and Federal government agencies re- garding their executive's profes- sional and personal performance as a participant in the program. In all circumstances, including the International Seminar and all other conferences held outside of Washington, D.0 . executives are required to conduct themselves so as to exemplify the highest stan- dards of integrity. Presidential Exchange Execu- tives involved in any infraction of applicable laws, standards of ethi- cal conduct, or unproper personal or public conduct will be subject to disciplinary action, including termination from the President's Commission on Executive Exchange.

Conferences and seminars are a significant part of the executive's experience. The subject matter covered during the year includes international and domestic issues, business and government opera- tions. All travel and program costs for the International Seminar are paid for ty funds collected from the private sector. Commission regulations prohi- bit spouses or friends from partic- ipating in Commission sponsored conferences and seminars or from accompanying or meeting with ex- ecutives at anytime during Com- mission sponsored travel. The Public Policy Seminar For a week in October, Pres- idential Exchange Executives meet with key White House offi- cials, Cabinet Officers, Agency Heads. Members of Congress, business leaders and prominent academics. Discussions cover a wide range of government and business issues, focusing primar- ily on public policy and govern- ment regulation. The Conference on Business and Government Each winter, Federal govern- ment and corporate executives meet for a week at one of the na- tion's leading academic institu- tions for a studied examination of business, government and the rela- tionship between the two. For the past three years, the conference was held at Harvard University. Following an intensive two-day computer based manage- ment simulation exercise, Federal government executives were join- ed by their corporate counterparts for a series of lectures and discus- sions with top professors from the Harvard Business School. They examined factors which affect cor- porate decision-making and be- havior. The conference concluded with two days of case studies and dis- cussions at the Kennedy School of Government, during which time various aspects of the relationship between business and government were explored. Washington Meetings kr Business Executives Approximately once a week, informal, off-the-record meetings are held with national leaders. These have included Supreme Court Justices, Cardiet Secretar- ies, US. Senators and Representa- tives, senior White House offi- cials, Agency Heads, academics, journalists, and lobbyists. The ses- sions provide corporate executives with the backgmtmd behind the headlines and current develop- ments, as well as insights on the way Washington functions. The International Seminar This seminar represents an op- portunity for the executives to exa- mine and discuss foreign policy issues firsthand. The highlight of the 1986 Inter- national Seminar was the privilege and honor of an audience with His Holiness Pope John Paul II. An- other outstanding opportunity was the meeting with His Majesty King Juan Carlos I of Spain. The executives also attended _ briefings at the headquarters of the North Atlantic Treaty Organiza- &en (NATO) in Brussels, Belgium; meetings with British, French, and Italian government and busi- ness leaders, and traveled for the first time to Yugoslavia. Executives return from the In- ternational Seminar with a better understanding of the effects of trade negotiations; defense and se- curity arrangements and their im- pact on economic matters; the in- ternal economic structure of other countries; the international mone- tary situation and its effect on in- vestment trade; and the internal pressures which affect both do- mestic and multi-national corpora- tions. Note: All travel and program costs fix the International Sem- inar are paid for by Ands col- lected frvm the private sector. - - Declassified in Part- Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2013/02/05: CIA-RDP91B00390R000100110012-4 ?

The Com- mission also seeks executives with distinctive backgrounds and the prospect of attaining policy mak- ing positions within their corpora- tions. Executives must be nomi- nated by their Chief Executive Of- ficer. Nominations for the Pres- ident's Commission on Executive Exchange are expected by June 1 for assignments commencing the following October. A corporation sponsoring an executive for the President's Com- mission on Executive Exchange will forward a participation fee of $18,000 within thirty days of notif- ication by the Commission. The corporation continues to pay fringe benefits and moving ex- penses. Corporate executives sign a contract committing them to re- turn to their corporation and re- main in their employment for at least one year after the conclusion of their assignment. The participating corporation and the nominated executive are bound by the law to strictly adhere to all Federal and State statutes re- garding conflict of interest. The President's Commission on Exec- utive Exchange requires that the corporation counsel their execu- tive regarding individual responsi- bility and the necessity for ethical conduct. All corporate executives are required to undergo a Federal gov- ernment security clearance inves- tigation. This investigation covers such items as job performance, character, reputation, trustworthi- ness, reaction to stress, social sen- sitivity and behavior. Placement within a government agency is contingent upon completion of this investigation and review of the findings by the President's Com- mission on Executive Exchange. Corporations should nominate only individuals with exemplary backgrounds and records. Nomi- nees are advised that derogatory information uncovered in the background investigation could prove to be detrimental to their professional standing. The Pres- ident's Commission on Executive Exchange reserves the right to re- ject candidates based on the re- sults of the investigations. Corporate Assignments Ir Federal Government Executives Chief Executive Officers of corporations are contacted by the Executive Director of the Pres- ident's Commission on Executive Exchange seeking assignments for Federal government executives. Corporations planning to offer a Federal government executive Slk an assignment should identify a responsible, challenging position which by its very nature weld best suit an individual with limited bus- iness experience. In order to insure absolute avoi- dance of conflict of interest or the appearance thereof, the corpora- tion's General Counsel must re- view the Federal government exec- utive's background, prior to the Federal government executive's assignment. The corporation must notify the President's Commission on Executive Exchange that no conflict of interest exists. The Commission continues to counsel Federal government executives re- garding ethical conduct and avoid- ance of conflict of interest throughout the year. In keeping with the goal of the President's Commission on Exec- utive Exchange, and in compli- ance with Federal rules and regu- lations, and Commission restlic- lions, the corporation must not ex- tend an offer of permanent em- ployment to the government exec- utive during preliminary inter- views, anytime during the one year assignment, or upon comple- tion of the assignment. This re- striction against offers of perma- nent employment continues for at least three years after the date of return to the Federal government.

Federal government executives should have no previous signifi- cant corporate experience. They must be willing to accept an as- signment outside of Washington. Dr., anywhere in the United States. Federal government executives sign a contract committing them to return to their Federal government agency and remain in their em- ployment for at least three years after the conclusion of the as- signment. Federal Government Assignments for Corporate Executives Cabinet Officers and Agency Heads meet with the Executive Director of the President's Com- mission on Executive Exchange to designate assignments that would be most challenging for Presiden- tial Exchange Executives. These assignments are to positions as assistants to Cabinet Officers, Agency Heads, Under Secretaries or Assistant Secretaries. Presiden- tial Exchange Executives normally hold positions in the Senior Exec- utive Service during their assign- ment in the Federal government. Over the past few years, the Corn- mission has been able to obtain the position of Acting Deputy Assis- tant Secretary for executives whose outstanding achievements have been recognized in their res- pective agencies. To insure absolute avoidance of conflict of interest or the appear- ance thereof, both the agency to which the corporate executive is assigned and the executive must adhere to all Federal conflict of in- terest laws. The agency's Ethics Counsel reviews the corporate ex- ecutive's background and the for- mal position responsibilities in or- der to determine that no conflict of interest exists. It is the agency's responsibility to notify the Ethics Officer of the President's Com- mission on Executive Exchange of this determination. If the corpo- rate executive is reassigned to new responsibilities during the year, the Federal government agency must obtain prior approval from the Executive Director. The Exec- utive Director and the Ethics Of- ficer continue to counsel corporate executives regarding ethical con- duct and awoidance of conflict of interest throughout the year. In keeping with the goal of the President's Commission on Exec- utive Exchange, and in compli- ance with Federal rules and regu- lations, the agency to which the corporate executive is assigned must not attend an offer of per- manent employment to the execu- tive during preliminary inter- views, anytime during the one year assignment, or upon comple- tion of the assignment. This res- triction against offers of perma- nent employment continues for at least three years after the date of the corporate executive's return to the corporation.

The Executive Director will respond to these requests on a continuous basis throughout the year. Corporate executives chosen for critical assignments must possess specific expertise to meet a specialized need within a government agency. Such executives are chosen based on their wealth of experience and have reached senior ranks within their corporations. Since these critical assignments may occur at any time during the year, they do not necessarily coincide with ? the regular cycle of the President's Commission on Executive Exchange. However, executives must return to their corporations one year after beginning their assignments and remain with their corporation for a least we year after completing their assignment with the President's Commission on Executive Exchange. The same conflict of interest requirements apply to these critical positions. International Embassy Assignments For Corporate Executives r-r he President's Commission on Executive Exchange seeks corporate executives with extensive intemation- I al business experience for assignments in United States Embassies abroad as Assistants to the Ambassa- dor. Corporate executives assigned internationally perform a variety of functions including assisting the Am- bassador with specific problems related to the region, initiating and developing business opportunities for Uni- ted States corporations, and addressing the myriad of problems and opportunities that face an overseas investor. These corporate executives lend their expertise in relevant international business trends to specialized prob- lems which differ from country to country. In addition, they bring a fresh perspective to ongoing problems and creative analysis of current issues. For International Assignments, the Commission seeks corporate executives with: Experience in finance, marketing, engineering, law or business administration; At least five years experience in an area dealing with aspects of international business; Ability to interact diplomatically with officials at the highest levels of the United States and foreign governments; Knowledge of the language of the country to which the executive is assigned is an asset. These international assignments may be up to 24 months in duration and the executives must return to their corporations at the completion of their assignments. Executives must adhere strictly to rules and regulations re- garding conflict of interest and all other Commission standards. The Executive Director of the President's Commission on Executive Exchange continues to negotiate with United States Ambassadors and the State Department for additional ovemeas assignments. The President's Commission on Executive Exchange encourages corporations to consider participation in International Embas- sy assignments as well as assignments in Washington. D.C.

Major projects I completed were: a do- mestic and international market- ing program for agri-business financial services; a Loan Offi- cer's guide to U.S. export pro- grams; a feasibility study on agri- cultural trade finance; and a trade financing program and marketing strategy for Republicbank. My experience at Republicbank and my participation in the Com- mission's seminars have enabled me to more effectively manage the international activities of the U.S. Agricultural Counselors and At- taches assigned in 70 America,: Embassies. Hopefully, I contrib- uted to greater involvement Republicbank in the financing of U.S. exports and enhanced Repub- licbank officials' understanding of international issues and the pol- icy making process.

Assigned for a year as Assistant to the Senior Vice President of United Parcel Service, Inc., I gained tremendous insights into private sector business manage- ment and philosophies, concepts and practices. In addition, through the Commission spon- sored seminars and conferences, I obtained a wealth of useful infor- mation as well as a much greater awareness of global events and is- sues. _ More recently I have found that many of the "lessons learned" during my assignment are directly applicable in the public sector. I am much better equipped to per- form effectively as a Federal man- ager, and I sincerely believe that both the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission and United Parcel Service can cite tangible benefits which were a direct result of the exchange experience. This program proved to be advantageous to all parties involved. V. ?

Kearns, Chairman and CEO of Xerox Corporation, and Chairman, President's Commission on Executive Exchange Dwing my assignment with the President's Commission on Execu- tive Exchange, I devel- oped a strategic business plan for the Oilwell Division of U.S. Steel Corporation. I originated efforts to open a new line of business for their manufacturing plants with the U.S. government, particularly the Department of Defense, to uti- lize plant capacity available be- cause of a decline in traditional production. My familiarity with government procedures, processes, personnel and organizational deci- sion-making greatly accelerated -the effort and contributed-to its success. I also had the opportunity to address numerous local groups on U.S. government programs and ac- tivities, particularly the Depart- ment of State and the role of the U.S. Foreign Service. This helped establish a fuller understanding of the foreign pol- icy process and, I hope, a greater appreciation of public servants. Above all, my participation en- abled me to return to my agency with new background and train- ing in the application of strategic planning concepts to the manage- ment of public resources. Don C.

I was assigned to a Corporate Strategic Planning team where I brought an under- standing of international issues to a group of mathematicians and economists developing a chemical business plan. The experience was very satisfying, as my government background was directly applica- ble to my private sector responsi- bilities. I consider myself fortu- nate to have had the experience of observing44 paricipatiag in new probtfin-solving styles and techniques while working in and understanding an institution with different origins, constituencies and missions.

I worked with managers from every level and function within the organization and was in daily contact with individuals who were creating and managing change in a coordinated, incre- mental manner. My responsibili- ties included total program budget preparation and review, the devel- opment and implementation of a business change process known as Competitive Benchmarking, coor- dination and supplirt of critical training activities, and full participation in on-going program review. I returned to a position in the Postal Service's Planning Depart- ment to develop long range plans and the processes to support them. This led to a concentration in marketing in the Postal Ser- vice, and an eventual move into a newly created marketing organi- zation. The Executive Exchange experience was instrumental in this move, and I am a stronger marketing manager as a result of it. 4tett1404. M.

McIver Director, National Aero-Space Plane Office National Aeronautics & Space Administration rtvlasfate- My assignment with Merrill Lynch was clearly one of the most wiring and rewarding experiences in my professional career. I faced new challenges, met accomplished and interesting people, and for a year was in a new profession. With the new profession came new respon- sibilities including preparation of annual business plans, analyzing and implementing cost control ac- tivities, assessing the competitive and regulatory environments, and advising on trade regulations and anti-trust issues. Upon reflection, I concluded that there were many more simi- larities than differences between government and business. My Er- change year provided me with the opportunity to view and approach issues from a perspective that is, in fact, unlike the government As a result, mow bring a broader fo- als to my government decision- making and this benefits both government and business. &La.( Poi Edward Manno Shumsky New York Regional Director Federal Trade Commission aistf,F7:: -it"' ? . .

Absent from photo, Melissa Brown, Administrative Assl to the Executive Director Tdhe charter of the Presi- ent's Commission on Executive Exchange is to promote a greater under- standing between the Federal gov- ernment and business, thus creat- ing a lasting partnership between the two sectors. To share talent and expertise, new perspectives and advances in management, so that business and government may each be better equipped to serve society . . . that is the goal of the President's Commission on Executive Exchange. Participants return to their own sector with a new, intimate grasp of the meth- ods and decision-making proc- esses of the other side. Corporate executives are nomi- nated to participate in the Presi- dent's Commission on Executive Exchange by their Chief Executive Officer and Federal government executives are nominated by their Cabinet Secretary or Agency Head. Following extensive inter- views and acceptance into the LCT negotiates appropriate govern- ment assignments for corporate executives. The Commission also negotiates corporate assignments for Federal executives. Both cor- porate and Federal executives must return to their nominating organization at the conclusion of the one year assignment. Presidential Exchange Execu- tives are expected to sustain the highest standards of performance and ensure open and honest poli- cies free from conflict of interest. Avoidance of conflict of interest -or the appearance thereof is of the utmost importance to the Commission. Critical assignments in Wash- ington, DC represent an addi- tional opportunity for participa- tion by corporate executives. These critical assignments are filled at the specific request of a Cabinet Officer. Also, in the last few years the Commission has in- itiated an International Program, providing key assignments tor corporate executives as Assistants to Antbassadors in U.S. Embas- sies overseas. New legislation provides the nominating corporation flit (1)- tion of maintaining the execu- tive's salary while he or she is as- signed to the Federal government. This legislation applies only to a limited number of executives. Un- der most circumstances, govern- ment agencies assume the salary responsibilities for corporate exec- utives' assignments. Corporations to which Federal executives are assigned pay the Federal execu- tive's salary. The Commission is respcmsibk for all salary negotiations.
