128. Memorandum From the President’s Assistant for National Security Affairs (Brzezinski) to Vice President Mondale, Secretary of State Vance, Director of the Office of Management and Budget (McIntyre) and Director of the International Communication Agency (Reinhardt)1
SUBJECT
- Hubert Humphrey Scholarships
In remarks which he made in Caracas,2 the President announced his intention to establish a program of scholarships to bring students from the developing world to study in U.S. colleges. Since then, he has asked NSC to draw up a proposal and obtain your agency’s comments. I would appreciate it if you could designate someone in your agency to work with Bob Pastor of the NSC, who will be coordinating the staff [Page 378] work. He will be in touch with your office shortly to arrange a meeting to discuss the proposal at Tab A.3 We would appreciate if ICA and OMB could prepare some preliminary budgetary figures for each option in the proposal.
Our hope is to put together a proposal for the President by May 1, 1978.4
