Schlesinger is a visiting scholar for
Johns Hopkins University and chairs a
special study on national policy alter-natives
for The Washington Group of
Johns Hopkins and Georgetown Univer-sity.
Schlesinger served as Secretary of
Defense from July of 1973 until November
of 1975.
Schlesinger began his governmental
career as a consultant to the federal
Bureau of the Budget from 1965 to 1969,
when he was a member of the RAND
Corporation, the most famous of the
private "think tanks" then doing research
for the federal government.
He became assistant director of the
Bureau of the Budget in 1969 and remained
with that bureau and its successor, the
Office of Management and Budget, until he
was appointed chairman of the Atomic
Energy Commission in August of 1971.
In January of 1973 he became director of
the Central Intelligence Agency, a post
which he held until he became Secretary of
Defense.
Schlesinger, a 47-year-old native of New
York and holder of three degrees from
Harvard University, gained a reputation
as an efficient administrator who shunned
the Washington social circuit to spend time
with his family, which includes eight
children.
One of his first accomplishments with
the Bureau of the Budget was to trim $6
billion from the Defense Department
Budget.
With the CIA, he downgraded the
agency's "cloak and dagger" activities
and placed more emphasis on systematic
gathering and analyses of strategic in-telligence.
A new signboard, identifying
the agency, was erected at CIA
headquarters, which had previously been
disguised as a site for a highway research
agency.
In addition to writing numerous articles
for periodicals, Schlesinger authored a
book, "The Political Economy of National
Security: A Study of the Economical
Aspects of the Contemporary Power
Struggle," in 1960, while he was on the
faculty at the University of Virginia. It is a
collection of lectures he delivered to the
Naval War College in Newport, R.I., in
1957.

humor throughout the per-formance
