  • Understanding the State Department
    605 September 25, 1987 UNDERSTANDING THE STATE DEPARTMENT . .. .... .. INTRODUCTION Two years from this month, the De artment of State will celebrate its bicentennial anniversary. Back in those irst days of U.S. independence the Department was staffed with a half-dozenP employees on a budget of less than $60,000. Today, the State Department employs over 25,000 people around the world on an annual operating budget of over $4 billion. The State Department has been a source of frustration and dissatisfaction for every President since at least Franklin D. Roosevelt. Often called the "fudge factory," it was described by John F. Kennedy as "a bowl full of jello." While Ronald Reagan's private views of the State Department are unknown, he is entitled to use language even more pointed than Kennedy's. For it is an intriguing anomaly that the power and influence of the career Foreign Service, which largely runs the Department, have reached an apex in Reagan's administration even though he campaigned for office promising to bring the federal bureaucracy under control. Bureaucratic Imperatives; Many of the career Foreign Service Officers--called FSOs--who conduct the Department's day-to-day operations and to a significant extent direct foreign policy, are governed by bureaucratic imperatives. While: . intelligent and hard-working, they weigh career and institutional interests heavily in formulating and carrying out policies. They often seem more concerned to please foreign governments than their own, often seek agreements for agreements' sake, and place a high priority on continuity in foreign policy. Their power is enormous because most noncareer officials at State defer to the judgments of the career staff, who often seem impervious to the wishes.of a President and the people who elected him.

    Library of Congress Interview with Walter A. Lundy The Association for Diplomatic Studies and Training Foreign Affairs Oral History Project WALTER A. LUNDY Interviewed by: Raymond Ewing Initial interview date: September 23, 2005 Copyright 2005 ADST Q: OK, this is a Foreign Affairs Oral History interview with Walter A. Lundy. It is the 23rd of September 2005. This conversation is being conducted at the National Foreign Affairs Training Center and is being done under the auspices of the Association for Diplomatic Studies and Training. My name is Raymond Ewing. Walt, it's good to have this opportunity to talk with you. I see you entered the Foreign Service in 1960. Why don't you tell me a little bit about where you grew up, where you went to school and how you came to be interested in the Foreign Service. LUNDY: I grew up basically in Georgia; however, my father went into the Army during World War II, and we spent three years in California, from 1943 until 1946. That probably inspired my love of travel. We returned to Georgia when I entered high school, which in small town Georgia in those days meant the eighth grade. There were seven grades of primary and four years of high school. I entered the University of Georgia in 1950, and graduated with an A.B. in 1954. I went directly into the Air Force with a Reserve Officers' Training Corps (ROTC) commission and stayed there from 1954-1958. I was very lucky indeed in that I entered the Air Force early enough to receive full veterans benefits under the Korean War GI Bill Interview with Walter A.
