Adam Yarmolinsky '43, Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for International Affairs, will join the Law School faculty this summer.

Appointment, effective July 1, of four announced today. Receiving tenure appointments are Andrew Kaufman '51, David Shapiro '54, and Frank Michelman.

Yarmolinsky joined the Defense Department during its reorganization under Robert S. McNamara in 1961. One of the "whiz kids" of the Kennedy Administration , he served three years as Special Assistant to the Secretary of Defense.

Yarmolinsky left the Defense Department in 1964 to aid Sargent Shriver during the planning of the War on Poverty Program. He was scheduled to continue as Shriver's assistant when the poverty program received Congressional approval. At that time his appointment was dropped from the legislation in the face of strong Southern opposition.

In the spring of 1965 he served as chief of the U.S. Emergency Relief Mission in the Dominican Republic.

Yarmolinsky's appointment has been rumored since January. He has been mentioned also as a probable Senior Fellow in the Kennedy Institute.
