MEMORANDUM FOR THE PRESIDENT

I recommend that you appoint Dr. Patricia A. Graham as Director of the National Institute of Education. The appointment is subject to confirmation by the Senate.

Over the past three years, Dr. Graham has been a vice president of Radcliffe College and dean of the Radcliffe Institute, a program for meeting the educational needs of women beyond the college years. She is also a professor in Harvard's Graduate School of Education. Although Dr. Graham's most recent writing has been on educational issues regarding women, she has published research as well on community and class in American education and on educating children of the city. Dr. Graham holds a Ph.D. in History from . Prior to moving to Radcliffe and Harvard, she had taught at Columbia and Indiana University and at secondary schools in Virginia and New York City.

The next Director of the National Institute of Education will face several important challenges. First, through consultation with the Congress and the users of its services, NIE's mission needs more clearly to be defined. Second, support for that mission must be developed with the Congress and among educators across the country. Third, the management of NIE must be strengthened. I believe that Dr. Graham can successfully confront each of these challenges. To assure that she gets off to a fast start, I plan to name a Deputy Director experienced with the Congress and the Washington scene.

We have consulted with the Congress extensively. While there is no opposition to Dr. Graham's appointment, she is not widely known on the Hill. Those members who have been consulted include Senators Pell, Williams, Magnuson, Javits, and Kennedy, and Congressmen O'Neill, Brademas, Perkins, Ford, and Flood. If Dr. Graham is nominated, Congressman Brademas has offered to facilitate the introductions to his key colleagues.

The highlights of Dr. Graham's career are:

Born in 1935, received her B.S. (with highest distinction) from Purdue in 1955, an M.S. from Purdue in 1957, and a Ph.D. from Columbia in 1964. ~~------__,-...... ,~-"":"'"'~~--~··-~"""~·;·:··,--,. ... "'~- ',' ' ' <-<'
