Dear Henry,

I have just a few days ago heard
about this program which would involve
assisting in the speaking and teaching
of English and e.g. current events in
Ceylonese secondary schools. I have given
it quite a lot of thought and think that
I would like to participate in it for a
year (actually about 9-10 months) or at
least to consider it as an option in case
I do not go the University of California
this Fall.

Ceylon is in a part of the world
about which I would like to learn more than
the little bit of comparative religion which
I have studied. Forty per-cent of the Cey-
lonese population speaks English, it is
comparatively advanced socially and eco-
nomically and I think I could both learn
and give there in a fruitful manner. I would
also enjoy working with younger people,
partly with a view toward becoming a teacher.
In any case, I will soon enough be in a
staid bureaucracy of some sort, and a year
in this relatively advanced but very dif-
ferent nation should contribute to my
growth and understanding and would permit
me to give something of myself.

I would very greatly appreciate it
if you would write a very brief and infor-
mal statement as to my utility in such a
program. I have met Sri Lanka Surveyya and
am sure, especially in view of your busy
schedule, that a few sentences will be al-
right. (Re. your schedule, Khnushchev, in the
Lippman interview, seems to recognize the Rock-
effeler Report spirit).

Thank you,

RECOMMENDED BY: Prof. Henry A. Kraemer

POSITION: Professor of Government

Harvard University

You have been asked to recommend this candidate who is applying to spend a minimum of one year and a maximum of four years in service as an English Teacher under the CEYLON NATIONAL EDUCATION TEACHER PROGRAM.

1. Please rank candidate among your other students in the following attributes:

<table><thead><tr><th></th><th>Fair<br>(Top 60%)</th><th>Good<br>(Top 30%)</th><th>Very Good<br>(Top 15%)</th><th>Excellent<br>(Top 5%)</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><th>General Intelligence</th><td></td><td>X</td><td></td><td></td></tr><tr><th>Speaking Ability</th><td></td><td>X</td><td></td><td></td></tr><tr><th>Writing Ability</th><td></td><td>X</td><td></td><td></td></tr></tbody></table>

2. Inorder that the program be successful, the Selections Committee asks that you give a full and frank evaluation of the candidate. This should be a realistic appraisal of the candidate's strong and weak characteristics. It should take into account his or her character (including maturity, judgement and sense of responsibility), personality (including emotional stability and adaptability to new situations), intellectual ability (including seriousness of academic endeavor) and political and cultural insight into U.S. affairs as well as into the affairs of the host country. (If provided space is not adequate, kindly attach additional sheets.)

*I would like to support the application of Sven Kraemer for acceptance into the Ceylon National Education Teacher Program. I have known Sven since 1945 and his family since 1943. I have the greatest admiration for both his parents and think Sven himself is a very promising young man.

I met Sven's father, Fritz Kraemer, in 1943, when we were both privates in the same infantry division. Dr. Kraemer was older than most privates and he had innumerable opportunities for less arduous duties, but he insisted on remaining with the infantry division. Through his brilliance and personal force, he became certainly the best known private in the division.

I will not speak of Dr. Kraemer's military career, however, which saw him win a battlefield commission and rise to the rank of First Lieutenant. It should be noted that Dr. Kraemer left Germany, not because of the racial persecution, but

CONTINUED

as a protest against the Nazi regime. As the son of a distinguished Prussian family, he would have been certain of a brilliant career. Instead he chose to come to the United States to live under conditions of considerable economic straits and then to serve this country in what was certainly the most arduous way.

Throughout this time, Dr. Kraemer's wife and son had to remain in Germany and he was not reunited with them until he returned as an American officer.

I have gone into this detail because the environment in which Svan grew up could not but affect the moral qualities he exhibits today. Until Svan was nine years old, he did not know his father, because Dr. Kraemer had left Germany when the boy was less than one year of age. Suddenly, at the age of nine a father in the uniform of an American officer removed Svan from the rural estate on which he had been living, and introduced him, practically from one day to the next, into an American dependents' school and into the environment of an American military post.

I have watched Svan's progress since then, and have been his tutor at Harvard as well as a friend of his family's. I consider him a rather unusual human being. Because of the sudden transformation brought about by his father's reemergence and the abrupt transition from life in Europe to life here, it has taken him a little longer to mature than other men, but his progress both at Andover and Harvard has shown that he does have potential. He is quiet, self-assured, friendly and cooperative; and, although less easily classifiable than the average student, I think a good choice for your program.

QUALIFICATIONS INQUIRY

Position: Management Intern

Name of Candidate:

Dear Sir:

The person named above gave you as a reference in his
application for a Management Internship under the Federal Service
Entrance Examination. In order to pass upon his application, we
need to evaluate his qualifications for this program. We would,
therefore, appreciate your candid answers to the questions con-
tained in the enclosed form.

Some background information about the Management Intern pro-
gram and its importance to you as a citizen may aid you in answering
the questions. Persons appointed as interns will receive special-
ized training designed to develop their managerial skills and
knowledges. Only outstanding persons are sought. Interns are se-
lected on the basis of their potential for advancement eventually
to the most responsible administrative posts. Considerable time
and expense are invested in their selection and training. For that
reason it would be unwise to appoint as interns persons of only
average promise.

We would like your frank opinion of the extent to which the
candidate possesses the desired qualities. Persons who answer in-
quiries such as this sometimes feel that they should avoid anything
which would be interpreted in an unfavorable way. Be sure of the im-
portance of this program, it is essential that we learn not only
of the candidate's strong points but also of those qualities in
which he is either weak or requires further development.

Your cooperation in completing this inquiry will be a signifi-
cant contribution to our efforts to make an accurate evaluation of
this management intern candidate. We would appreciate receiving
your reply within the next two weeks. Your reply will, of course,
be treated in confidence.

22 November 1962

The Office of the Secretary of Defense is a small but vital part of the Department of Defense. Our employees, about 75 percent of whom are civilians, assist the Secretary of Defense in carrying out his responsibilities for the "direction, authority, and control" of Army, Navy and Air Force, and the other major elements of the Department. Many of our civilian positions are filled by the promotion of senior civilian career specialists from the military departments.

Opportunities for Executive Trainees

Each June we appoint a small group of college graduates as a supplementary source of potential top-level career officials, both line and staff. For these executive trainees, the developmental process involves several years of progressively responsible training and experience.

We appoint our trainees from the Management Intern option of the Federal Service Entrance Examination. Our primary interest is in students of public or business administration, political science, economics, and law. Trainees with bachelor's degrees are appointed at GS-7, $5540 per year. Those with at least a year of graduate work come in at GS-9, $6675 per year.

Orientation and Rotation

Initially, by means of readings and briefings by agency officials, all trainees receive an orientation in the history, mission, and organization of the Defense establishment. After this orientation, each trainee has an opportunity to devote not more than 10 months to varied work assignments that will broaden his knowledge of Defense administration and facilitate his permanent placement.

Trainees are permanently assigned to major areas of Defense management. These include financial management, program analysis, logistics, manpower, scientific research, international affairs, legal affairs, and public relations. Examples of work are given on page 2 and succeeding pages.

Where to Write

For further information, write to B. B. Moyer, Jr., Training Officer, Personnel Branch, Office of the Secretary of Defense, Washington 25, D. C.

# EXAMPLES OF WORK DONE BY EXECUTIVE TRAINEES

Executive Trainees of the Office of the Secretary of Defense are assigned to major areas of Defense management after their rotation work assignments.
Here are some of the duties they have performed:

## Research and Engineering

- Writing position papers and public statements in regard to advanced research and monitoring related Congressional hearings.

- Representing OSD at meetings of interdepartmental committees concerned with U. S. Policy on outer space.

- Extending a domestic reporting system to include the projects of the Mutual Weapons Development Team at Paris and surveying its procedures for proposing and evaluating projects.

INSTALLATIONS AND LOGISTICS

20 August 1962

MEMORANDUM FOR Mr. Burton B. Moyer, Jr.

SUBJECT: Recruitment Information

I hope the following information will meet your need for a
description of the kind of work I am doing.

My present position is located in the Data Systems Division,
within the Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense (Installations
and Logistics). The Data Systems Division establishes policies for
the development and operation of advanced management information
systems in the Military Departments and various Defense agencies,
with particular emphasis on the development of automatic data
processing systems using electronic computers. These systems
perform many business management functions within the Department
of Defense. For example, computers have been installed at 60
inventory control agencies and at an equal number of supply depots
to control assets in storage, compute requirements for materiel,
schedule overhaul, compute procurement quantities and dispose of
excess supplies. The inventories controlled by these systems are
valued at over $40 million.

As a staff specialist in the Data Systems Division, my duties
involve the review and analysis of computer application studies,
management audit reports and financial statements concerning the
operation and development of data systems. Through field visits
and conferences with users of electronic computers, I evaluate the
performance of data processing systems after installation and perform
a critical review of the systems analysis and planning which is
necessary before any new computer can be installed.

MANPOWER

MEMORANDUM FOR MR. BURTON B. MOYER, JR.

I am a staff specialist in the Directorate for Military Personnel, Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense (Manpower).

This Directorate plans, directs, coordinates and monitors military personnel policies affecting, as individuals, the two and a half million active duty members of the armed forces and their three and a half million dependents.

Briefly, my duties are to:

- Develop and coordinate military personnel policies within the Department of Defense and with the military departments and other interested agencies as action officer. (The action officer is the "leg man." He studies all facets of a problem, summarizes the facts, discusses the choices, and recommends a single best course of action to the Assistant Secretary.

- Maintain liaison with the military departments and other agencies. (There is a very close working relationship between this office and the military departments and such agencies as the Department of State and the Bureau of the Budget.)

- Review existing law and make recommendations on proposed legislation concerning military personnel. (Since most DoD legislation affects military personnel, this constitutes a large part of our daily work load.)

- Congressional interest in the welfare of military personnel traditionally runs high. It is for this reason that my duties include responding to numerous inquiries regarding specific Defense policies and procedures. In addition, I have drafted several legislative proposals which were submitted to Congress and enacted into law.

One of my first assignments was to reply to a White House query concerning the effects of a military pay raise on the efficiency of the armed forces. Currently, I am the acting director of the Civil Affairs Division - the office that handles the relationship between the States and the Department of Defense.

COMPTROLLER

August 11, 1961

Dear Burt:

In response to your recent request I am sending you herewith a brief
outline of my location within OSD and my current work assignments.

The office I have worked in for the last four years is currently
known as the Office of the Economic Advisor to the Assistant Secretary
of Defense (Comptroller). Organizationally, it has roughly the status
of a small staff group to Mr. Hitch, the Comptroller. Henry Glass, my
chief, acts in the capacity of a special assistant to Mr. Hitch.

As the name of the office would suggest, we are concerned with all
aspects of the relationship between national and international economics
on the one hand, and the Defense program and budget on the other. Such
matters as the balance-of-payments problem, US-USSR economic comparisons,
and employment trends in defense-related industries have been some of the
larger and more interesting projects we have worked on in the past.

In addition, for about three years I was one of the two people di-
rectly responsible for preparing the Defense portion of Financial Ap-
pendices to all National Security Council policy papers. This required
a detailed analysis of the cost and composition of the programs supporting
existing NSC policy, and a four-year projection of the cost implications
of the proposed new policies. In connection with this work, I attended
NSC Planning Board meetings as one of the Defense Department representatives.

However, these aspects of our work have formed the smaller part of
our total output. In actual practice, the chief task of the office is
that of presenting and justifying the Defense program and budget from
the Secretary of Defense's viewpoint. This means that we prepare the
Defense portion of the President's Budget Message, the Introductory State-
ment to the Defense portion of the Budget Document, and the Secretary of
Defense's statements to the Appropriations Committees and other Committees
of the Congress. We also prepare the Comptroller's statements to these
and other groups such as the Joint Economic Committee.

These assignments have required research and analyses into almost every aspect of the Defense program, and contact with a large number of other government agencies and private organizations. All of it has been most rewarding and interesting.

INTERNATIONAL SECURITY AFFAIRS

August 8, 1961

MEMORANDUM FOR MR. BURTON B. MOYER, JR.
Training Officer, Personnel Branch
Office of the Secretary of Defense

SUBJECT: Information on Current Position

The following information is submitted in response to your
memorandum of 1 August 1961.

I currently hold the position of Senior Special Assistant to the Assistant Secretary of Defense (International Security Affairs). This involves a broad variety of duties of both a staff and of a personal and confidential nature in support of the Assistant Secretary's responsibilities.

On behalf of the Secretary of Defense, the Assistant Secretary of Defense (ISA) is charged with responsibilities in four major fields: (a) the Military Assistance Program, (b) Defense Department participation in National Security Council and related interdepartmental task force matters plus policy planning in the national security field, (c) over-all international politico-military affairs, and (d) disarmament. All of these involve close relations with the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the military departments, the White House, the State Department and other agencies.

Consequently, my duties involve representing the Assistant Secretary in interoffice and intra and interdepartmental discussions in these areas, review of correspondence prior to signature, keeping the Assistant Secretary informed, and performing other tasks as requested. Since the foregoing duties are performed in collaboration with another Special Assistant, I have also been involved in a number of activities of a special projects nature, including preparation of speeches and Congressional testimony, work on organizational problems, monitoring the activities of the Military Assistance Institute, coordinating the State-Defense Exchange Program, and several interdepartmental studies on substantive policy matters.

I hope that the foregoing description, even though very general, will be helpful to you.

14 August 1962

MEMORANDUM FOR MR. BURTON B. MOYER, JR., PERSONNEL OFFICE, OSD

In response to your request for information about the kind of
work I do, the following notations may be of interest.

1. My position is that of a Project Officer in the Policy Planning Staff of ISA which operates under the supervision of Rear Admiral John M. Lee and Mr. Henry S. Rowen, Deputy Assistant Secretary (Planning and NSC).

2. My duties and responsibilities were originally diffuse, but have recently become more specialized. They have ranged over the whole field of national security policy planning. The Policy Planning Staff is involved in all the policy problems in international security other than those which are conducted on a day to day basis (except for Berlin affairs where the Staff does have a day to day responsibility). Problems that pertain to the Berlin crisis, NATO defense, counterinsurgency in Southeast Asia, global deployment of troops, strengthening of US and Allied non-nuclear forces, nuclear war strategy, major weapons selection, et al, are dealt with by the Staff.

3. My specific duties have included participation in the planning for the commitment of Polaris to NATO, selection of a future major weapons system, defense of the CENTO region, and formulation of nuclear and non-nuclear war strategy. At one point, I was asked to write a portion of Mr. McNamara's Ann Arbor address. A short time ago, I was enrolled in the State Department school on counterinsurgency. Recently, I have been assigned a specific responsibility in Berlin planning which has required work at the State Department with British, French and German embassy officials, attendance at Ambassadorial meetings and assistance to the Assistant Secretary of Defense (ISA) in these and other quadripartite discussions.

ADVANCED RESEARCH PROJECTS AGENCY

WASHINGTON 25, D. C.

August 4, 1961

SUBJECT: Position Information

My present assignment is with the Program Management Division of the Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA) - OSD. ARPA operates under the general direction of the Director of Defense Research and Engineering.

The Program Management Division is responsible for the preparation and justification of budget estimates, conversion of technical proposals into workable management plans, establishment, direction and maintenance of ARPA's progress reporting system, development of milestone schedules, and conduct of management studies determining the economy and efficiency of ARPA operations. This Division is also responsible for the arrangements necessary to conduct approved ARPA programs through DoD, other Government Agencies, or private organizations.

Generally, my responsibilities will include the converting of approved technical projects into workable management plans for assignment to a Government Agency for accomplishment. Included in this task will be the development of recommendations to ARPA management of the administrative and management policies to be applied to each technical project and providing day-to-day follow-up and administration for these projects. I will also be responsible to some degree for staff assistance in contract matters. Finally, I will have responsibility for the formulation and development of budget estimates and justification for those projects assigned to me.

Since reporting for work in this assignment I find that I have touched on items in practically every phase of the responsibilities inherent in this position. Specifically, I am currently preparing the budget submissions to the OSD Comptroller for those projects assigned to me which tentatively include: (1) Project LORRAINE - energy conversion; (2) Project BATON - weather control; (3) Project PONTUS - materials science research; (4) Project PRINCIPIA - advanced propellant chemistry research; and (5) Command and Control Research.

SUBJECT: My Career in OSD

My career in OSD illustrates one important truth about trainee programs and perhaps the Civil Service in general: You'll never know how interesting a job can be until you try it.

I came down here eager to build on my academic specialty in international law. But one takes opportunities as they come, and when there was an opening in the Office of the Assistant General Counsel (Logistics) I applied, after some momentary hesitation. Mr. Stempler, the Assistant General Counsel, assigned me the fields of research and development, patents and copyrights, to which have been added as time went on, proprietary data, petroleum logistics policy, and conflict of issues. My job essentially is to render legal counsel to policy making officials in these fields in OSD. The work is policy, not operations: To illustrate this, the question in patents is not how to apply for them or contest them, but how should the DOD divide property rights in inventions financed under DOD contracts.

I confess that at first I thought these areas of work would have very little interest and were assigned me as the junior man in the office because I would probably do the least harm in them. However, despite the somewhat forbidding sound of the subject matter, these areas proved, as I boned up on them, to be of surpassing interest. The patents field, for example, has turned out to be one of the most controversial issues facing the Department of Defense, and I have already been a witness for the Department of Defense at three congressional hearings on matters of patent policy and participated in several departmental committees of review on the subject. In another area, I helped set up the program for giving grants to universities to support basic research, and in connection with the program I had first hand experience in problems of unification and direction of the military departments.
