THE NATIONAL WAR COLLEG
GRADUATES 140
Washington, D. C. --Concluding, an intensive, 10-month
study of the planning and conduct of U. S. national security affairs,
140 senior military officers and civilian government executives
graduated recently (June 5th) from the National War College here.
The 105 military and 35 civilian students received their
diplomas from the Honorable Gerald R. Ford, Republican leader of
the U. S. House,of Representatives, during an outdoor ceremony at
Fort Lesley J. McNair.
Representative Ford in his commencement address called
attention to the significance of the event by noting that 47 military
graduates from the College's 23 previous classes have attained four-
star rank and that 75 civilian graduates subsequently became
ambassadors. He called this fact a testimonial to both the individual
students and the College.
