Direction. Conferences are conducted by a member of the Brookings
Senior Staff, and use the services of special consultants and nationally
prominent academicians and executives from public or private life as
speakers and resource persons. Background readings pertinent to each
session are furnished to participants in advance of the Conference. Each
session stresses exchange of views and discussion which draws on analysis
of the readings, participant experiences, and the views of the speakers and
Conference Chairman. Sessions are off the record to encourage free
exchange of views and expressions of opinion.

programs, and engineering executives are eligible for either the one-week
or the two-week conferences.

pant; the fee for a one-week Science Conference is $325 per participant.

THE BROOKINGS INSTITUTION is an independent organization
devoted to nonpartisan research, education, and publication in econo-
mics, government, and foreign policy. In its research, its role is that of
independent analyst and critic, committed to publishing its findings for
the information of the public. In its conferences and other activities, its
function is to serve as a bridge between the academic community and
leaders in public and private affairs by bringing new knowledge to the
attention of decision makers and affording scholars a practical insight
into policy issues.
The Institution was incorporated in 1927 to merge the activities of
three antecedent organizations: the Institute for Government Research,
founded in 1916; the Institute of Economics, established in 1922; and
the Robert Brookings Graduate School of Economics and Government,
organized in 1924. The consolidated organization was named in honor
of Robert Somers Brookings (1850-1932), a St. Louis businessman whose
leadership was central in the development of the earlier institutions.
Brookings is maintained largely by endowment and by private sup-
port. In addition to its three research programs (Economic Studies,
Governmental Studies, and Foreign Policy Studies), Brookings has a
Computer Center, a Publications Program, and an Advanced Study
Program.

THE ADVANCED STUDY PROGRAM is a unique kind of institution of
higher education. It provides special opportunities for leaders in public
and private life to study and discuss current and emerging policy issues
of national and international importance. By enriching their knowledge
and understanding so that they may carry out their responsibilities more
effectively, the Program contributes to the strengthening of the-senior
public service and the preparation of leaders in private life for more
active participation in public affairs.
Since the Program was established in 1957, some 3,000 federal execu-
tives and more than 3,000 top-level officials in business, labor, and the
professions, members of Congress, and civic leaders have participated
in its activities.
In addition to the conferences described on the reverse side of this
announcement, the Program for 1967-68 will include a conference for
general counsels, a conference for senior economists in regulatory
agencies, and a series of conferences on business policy and operations
for federal executives. Each conference will last for one week. These
conferences are for civilian officials in grades GS-16 and above and
military/naval officers of flag rank. Further information may be
obtained from the office of Director of the Advanced Study Program.
