Indeed most Foreign Service Personnel are enrolled in it because they recognize that —It is the only Federal Employee Health Benefit Plan designed specifically to meet the needs of the Foreign Service and that —By limiting enrollment to the Foreign Service community which is made up of well informed, health conscious people who have frequent medical examinations, the Plan affords better protection at lower cost. BUT DO YOU ALSO KNOW. that we offer excellent Group Life Insurance and Accidental Death and Dismemberment (AD&D) Insurance at rates that in most instances are lower than FEGLI.

    Library of Congress Interview with William C. Harrop The Association for Diplomatic Studies and Training Foreign Affairs Oral History Project AMBASSADOR WILLIAM C. HARROP Interviewed by: Charles Stuart Kennedy Initial interview date: August 24, 1993 Copyright 1998 ADST Q: Today is August 24, 1993. This is an interview with William C. Harrop on behalf of the Association for Diplomatic Studies. I am Charles Stuart Kennedy. To begin with, could I get a little bit about when and where were you born and a bit about your family and your education? HARROP: Surely. I was born in Baltimore [MD] on February 19, 1929. My father was a doctor, specializing mostly in research on the faculty of the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine. He moved to E. R. Squibb & Sons in New Brunswick, NJ, when I was 10 years old. I went to Harvard and received an A.B. Q: What field was that in? HARROP: In English literature. Subsequently, after a stint in the Marine Corps during the Korean War, I used the GI Bill to spend a year in graduate work in journalism at the University of Missouri in Columbia, MO. Just as I was completing that — in fact I was within a very short time of obtaining a master's degree in journalism — I was offered an appointment in the Foreign Service and accepted it. I was one of a considerable group of people who were delayed in entering the Foreign Service for a couple of years by Senator Interview with William C.
