WHITE HOUSE FELLOWS PROGRAM
The White House Fellows Program was established by President
Johnson in October, 1964 to give highly qualified young persons an
opportunity to gain !'first-hand, high level experience with the workings
of the Federal Government and to increase their sense of participation
in national affairs. " Broadly speaking, it is comprised of two major
elements: (1) actual working experience at the highest levels in the
Executive Branch (the White House, offices of members of the Cabinet,
and the Vice President), and (2) an intensive educational program
which includes a series of informal, off-the-record discussions and
visits in Washington with officials in the Legislative, Judicial, and
Executive Branches of the Federal Government to provide the Fellows
with an overview of governmental structure, operations, and selected
` policy issues. The visit to CIA. falls within this element of the White
House Fellows Program.
The general purpose of the educational program is to give the
Fellows an enlarged awareness of the operations and policy problems
of the Federal Government. Specifically, it has three principal
objectives :
1. To enable the White House Fellows to acquire basic knowledge
about the theoretical and conceptual foundations of American
governmental institutions, public policy problems, and
decision-making processes;
2. To develop competence in the analysis of public issues and
insight into the formulation and execution of public policy
within the framework of a pluralistic society; and
3. To provide a better understanding of day-to-day responsi-
bilities, pressures and problems which confront legislative,
judicial and executive leaders in public life.
These objectives are to be pursued in an atmosphere of free
inquiry and discussion in which diverse arguments, interests, hopes
and fears can be subjected to critical examination. It is hoped that
the knowledge and understanding derived by the White House Fellows
from open discussion and the exercise of independent judgment will
be the result of their awn active analysis of the problems set before
them.
