LAUDE2DALEA Bes. I was born September 14, 19C2, in West Te as, on a farm. I grew up there. Those were the Depression years. I guess we were a poor family, although we weren't any poorer than our neighbors. ": Was that part of the Dustbowl or were you able to... LAUDE2DALEA No. That was further north, in Oklahoma. Of course I was born in the Depression, but by the time I got to be a teenager it was in the War years. Still, I came from a modest, poor farm family in West Te as. We were a large family. After I got out of high school, during the Korean War, which started in 1950 and I graduated from high school in 1950, I went off to college for one year. I had a hard time... ": What college did you go to& LAUDE2DALEA I went to one in east Te as called Tarleton State, a branch of Te as A " M. But I was poor, I had no source of income, I couldn't get a job so I was a little unhappy. My grades were okay, Bs mostly. So after a year in college I figured I was going to get drafted in the end, so why struggle. So I signed up in the Army, went to Fort Ord, California for basic training. Didn't want to go to Korea, by the way. ": You were there in 1951 then, in Fort Ord& LAUDE2DALEA Bes. 2 ": We were neighbors. I was at the Army language school in Monterey at that time, as an Air Force private. LAUDE2DALEA Well all of the graduating basic training classes were off to Korea. I think everybody west of the Mississippi went to KoreaD So I was a little unhappy about that, how am I going to get out of thatE Fortunately I made a good score on the Army tests, so they called me for an interview and offered me an assignment in intelligence, which I snapped up immediately. So they sent me east to Baltimore to go to intelligence school. ": /olabird& LAUDE2DALEA Bes, it's interesting that you should know that. Then at Fort Holabird I got the word that anybody who volunteers for overseas will get it, so I said okay, I volunteer for 7ermany. So I did, I got it and served in 7ermany for two and a half years. ": Where were you in 0ermany& LAUDE2DALEA Wuer1burg. Beautiful, nice place. ": 1aro2ue city. But then it was still pretty much in ruins I guess. LAUDE2DALEA It was pretty much in ruins, poverty stricken. When I first arrived in 7ermany I remember that we used to ride the streetcars free, because we were occupation forces. And during the time I was there they signed the Consensual Agreement which gave 7ermany its sovereignty, so then we had to start paying 10 pfennigs to ride the streetcar. I got married when I was there. In those days you could only get married when you were going home, so I got married a couple of months before going home. Came back, went to California, where I had been before . I had a sister who lived in the Bay Area . and enrolled in Berkeley. When I had gone to school before, I majored in mathematics. I had a good math score on the tests. But after three years away from mathematics I was a little concerned about trying to pick that up again. In the meantime, discovering the overseas world, I heard about Embassy.Bonn, the foreign service, so I said, FThat's for me.F So I went to see a professor at Berkeley and asked what I should study to be a foreign service officer, and he said, FPolitical Science.F So I did, 7ot my degree, took my e am. ": You3re talking about the Foreign Service e4am& LAUDE2DALEA Bes. ": That was a three5and5a5half day e4am& 3 LAUDE2DALEA No, it was all day. I took it three times actually. The first time when I was still a junior. I failed it. The second time I took it I passed the written, but when I went for the oral I told the Board . we had three e aminers . that my son was a diabetic. I wanted them to know that right up front. Anyway, I didn't pass. So I took it again. The ne t year they didn't give the e am. So I had to wait two years, took it again, passed it again, went to the oral. At the end of the oral, the e aminer told me something I didn't know before. He said the last panel turned you down because your son is a diabetic, but you did such a good job that we're going to recommend you for a waiver. So anyway, I got past that hurdle. ": This was in 196....& LAUDE2DALEA The first one must have been in about '56, because I graduated in '57. Then the second one was in '58, and the third one must have been in 1960. In the meantime, after I got my degree I went to graduate school for a little while and then I went to work. I found a job in the federal government, 7S.7, came to Washington, was later transferred up to Boston, and I took the oral that year, I guess it was '61 by then, in Boston, that's the one I passed. In the meantime I had prospered in my civil service career and I got an offer of employment as an FSO.8. I had just gotten promoted to 7S.12 and I was just making G10,000 a year, or close to it. FSO.8 would have been about G6,000. I was also by then about 28 or 29. So I said, that's a little junior for me, but I would take an FSO.7. They said No, we can't do that, and so I said, okay, adios. A couple of months later I got a letter that saidA FWe've made some internal policy changes and we're going to adjust a lot of FSO.8s to FSO.7s, and we can offer appointments to new FSO.7s, and you're one. We'll offer you a 7. I got the ma imum step of a 7, which was G7,500. So I only had to take a cut of G2,500. It took me five years to get back to G10,000D That was in 1962. ": It3s interesting how the system does change and does work. LAUDE2DALEA Could I tell you an out.of.seHuence storyE ": Sure. LAUDE2DALEA Later, when I was DAS for Personnel, and Phil Habib, who had been Under Secretary of State and was retired but was working in and out on various projects, and he worked on a recruitment committee for Secretary 0ance. He came to see me one day, upset, he was chairman of the 2ecruitment and Employment Committee, to do a study. He had been a professor or something at Stanford after retirement, and three of his graduate students, in his graduate seminar, took the FSO e am and failed the oral. They passed the written but failed the oral. And he told meA FClint, there's something wrong with this e am if three of my best students failed it.F And I said, FHow many times did they take itEF And he said, FWell, once.F And I saidA FWell, I failed it twiceD The answer to your students is, take it again.F Since he had passed the first time he thought everybody did, but I told him half the people in the foreign service didn't make it the first time. Try, try again. 4 ": You came in in 362, right& Did you go to the A5100 course& Can you give just a feel for what your group was like and maybe what their outlook was like at the time& LAUDE2DALEA My class, based on remarks by the course coordinators .. we had two at the time .. my class was older than the average class had been. I think I was the first class that they took in FSO.7s, that may have been the reason. Because the previous class had been just FSO.8s, and I guess some of the older people turned them down.

  • Part Three Greatest Hits: Outstanding Contributions to the Towson University Journal of International Affairs
    TOWSON UNIVERSITY JOURNAL OF INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS VOL. L, NO. 1 PART THREE GREATEST HITS: OUTSTANDING CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE TOWSON UNIVERSITY JOURNAL OF INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS 49 FALL 2016 MAKE NO DRONES ABOUT IT Make No Drones About It: Evaluating the U.S. Drone Program Based On Domestic Policy Standards Jacob Loewner Abstract: United States policymakers have set strict standards on the parameters of drone use. They have thereby lain out before the public an idealized narrative of the effectiveness of drones, as well as the restraint with which they are used. Beyond this lofty rhetoric, however, the U.S. government has been incredibly reluctant to furnish information on its drone program. To complicate matters further, the rhetoric on the drone program put out by the administration is rarely corroborated by facts on the ground due to frequent civilian deaths, signature strikes, and the targeting of Americans. This piece analyzes the realities of the drone program against the backdrop of the idealized rhetoric laid out by the Obama Administration and finds that the rhetoric is not supported by the facts on the ground. As such, the piece argues for increased transparency and more effective human intelligence to be applied to the drone program. Introduction In January 2015, the United States conducted a drone strike that led to three deaths which had enormous and widespread consequences. A drone strike targeting an Al Qaeda compound on the border between Pakistan and Afghanistan led to the death of Ahmed Farouq, an Al Qaeda leader and American

First, I would like to thank my dissertation committee of brilliant scholars. My advisor Laura Belmonte was integral in shaping this work and myself as an academic. Since my arrival at Oklahoma State, Dr. B has crafted me into the scholar that I am now. Her tireless encouragement, editing of multiple drafts, and support of this ever evolving project will always be appreciated. She also provided me with numerous laughs from the presidential pups, Willy and James. Doug Miller has championed my work since we began working together, and his candor and unconditional support was vital to finishing. Also, our discussions of Major League Baseball were much needed during coursework. Matt Schauer’s mentorship was integral to my time at Oklahoma State. The continuous laughter and support during meetings, along with discussions of classic films, were vital to my time at Oklahoma State.

  • Of the AMERICAN FOREIGN SERVICE
    SENIOR LIVING FOUNDATION of the AMERICAN FOREIGN SERVICE A Time of Service, A Time of Need Volume 22, Number 1 FOUNDATION NEWSLETTER March 2019 Message from the Chairman The Senior Living Foundation (SLF) of the American Foreign Service had a very active and successful year. Your financial support made it possible for SLF to meet its commitment to “taking care of our own.” Thirty years of building a strong community and changing lives has been sustained by your generous donations. In 2018, SLF received over $920,000 in donations, including a remarkable $600,000 bequest from an individual who believed in our mission during his life and wanted to help continue our work. The Foundation assists retired Foreign Service personnel and their spouses who find themselves in need. Your contributions helped defray the costs of prescription drugs, utility bills, basic living expenses, and a variety of other services. Whether SLF purchased hearing aids or provided resource information, your donation had an impact and made a difference. Beyond SLF’s assistance to those individuals in need, the Foundation hosted its 8th Planning for Change (PFC) seminar in September. The successful educational event featured twelve guest speakers with expertise in topics important to SLF’s supporters. The participants learned about senior mental health, one-on-one coaching, new tax laws, estate planning, and much more. You can read about PFC, as well as learn how to access the seminar recordings, inside this newsletter. I am saddened to report that SLF Board Member Ambassador Alan W. Lukens passed away in January 2019. He had served as a Foundation Board Member since 1999 and helped to shape both the mission and the culture of SLF.
