My purpose in writing is to inform you that Harvard University's
Program for Senior Managers in Government will be held from July 23 to
August 11, 1978. Sponsored jointly by the Harvard Business School and
Harvard's Kennedy School of Government, the Program is designed for
experienced executives who hold positions-of major responsibility in the
public sector. It seeks to further the development of effective mana-
gerial attitudes and abilities.
The Program emphasizes the development of a framework for system-
atically studying and resolving the key policy and management issues that
face executives in federal, state, and local government organizations in
the United States. The Program faculty are full-time faculty members of
the Harvard Schools of Business, Government and Law, and research and
course development is an important dimension of the curriculum. We feel
that the curriculum will make a major contribution to the participants,
but our experience also tells us that the caliber of the executives in the
group and the diversity of their professional and personal backgrounds is
equally critical to the success of a program.
Therefore, I am writing to you personally to ask for your interest
because we need continued high-level support for our endeavor. A
brochure describing the program is enclosed.
We are seeking applications from key individuals in the federal
executive branch (the cabinet, agencies, the White House), from staff
directors of major congressional committees, from senior managers of state
and local government departments and agencies, and from a small number of
business executives whose areas of responsibility relate to government.

summer. Please let as know if we can provide you or your staff with
further information or help in any way.
