THE UNITED STATES CIVIL SERVICE COMMISSION
IN COOPERATION WITH THE
AMERICAN POLITICAL SCIENCE ASSOCIATION
Announces a
FELLOWSHIP IN
RESSIONAL
 Approved For Release 2003/05/27 : CIA-RDP84-0078OR001000160023-1
Many of the basic responsibilities of the Federal Government are shared jointly by
the executive and legislative branches. Others are divided in such a way that in-
terdependence between Congress and the executive branch necessarily results.
Under our system of government, therefore, a sound understanding of the legisla-
tive branch is essential to a proper understanding of executive responsibilities
and operations.
For a variety of reasons, little planned interchange of career personnel between
the executive and legislative branches takes place. As a result, there has been
little opportunity for civil service employees to get a first-hand look at how Con-
gress functions, how it is organized, and how it relates to the programs and ac-
tivities carried on by the executive branch.
PURPOSE
This fellowship has been designed to provide an opportunity for a small number of
carefully selected career administrators at middle grade levels to acquire a thor-
ough understanding of Congressional operations. As they progress to positions of
greater responsibility, this understanding should become increasingly valuable to
them and to the program they serve.
ABOUT THE FELLOWSHIP
Persons selected will participate in a variety of assignments designed to develop
their knowledge and understanding of Congressional operations. As fellows from
executive agencies, they will share activities with other members of the APSA Con-
gressional Fellowship Program who come mainly from journalism, law, and college
teaching. These activities include:
- Attendance at an intensive and comprehensive Orientation Program on the
legislative branch conducted by the American Political Science Associa-
tion in preparation for later work assignments.
- Full-time work assignments in the offices of Congressmen and Senators
and with staff members of Congressional Committees.
- Participation in weekly seminar meetings with leading congressional,
governmental and academic figures.
From these and other planned experiences, fellows will be expected to gain:
- Thorough knowledge of the organization of Congress.
- A well-balanced understanding of the legislative process and the factors
and forces which influence it.
- Some Congressional perspective of national objectives and executive
branch operations.
- A sound grasp of the scope and variety of Congressional responsibilities
and their relationship to the total process of government.
NOMINATING CRITERIA
Nominees for this fellowship should be career employees in grade range of GS-12
through GS-16 or equivalent. Each of them should be in a managerial or executive
position, or be likely to be assigned to such positions in the future. Preference is
given to those who are taking part in an agency's own executive development program.
