Robert H. Thayer '23, former Ambassador and now State Department Special Assistant for the Coordination of International Educational and Cultural Relations, will be a major participant in the conference.

A group of outstanding young govern- mental leaders from Asia, Europe and the Middle East will again participate in the International Seminar, directed by Henry A. Kissinger '50, associate professor of Government and Associate Director of the Center for International Studies.

The Seminar will hold weekly Wednesday evening open forums, starting July 13, when the public will have an opportunity to meet the speakers.
