6. The Program for Fellows is similar in character and purpose to those of the Nieman Foundation and the Kennedy School and to some advanced programs in the professional schools. Its purpose is to enable officials and others engaged in public life from many countries to spend an academic year at Harvard as a form of advanced training suited to their individual interests.

7. The DAS (Development Advisory Service) provides its advisory services only on invitation from a host country and under contract between Harvard and that country. About one-half of the expert advisors come from countries other than the United States. Currently the DAS has contracts with Colombia, Ghana, Indonesia, Liberia, Malaysia, and Pakistan.

The total expenditures and sources of support for the Development Advisory Service from its formation on July 1, 1962 to June 30, 1969 are attached.
