preliminary screening of applicants for grants 
to three agencies:

tions, primarily at the graduate level; 
2. The Office of Education for those wishing 
to teach abroad in national elementary and 
secondary schools; 
3. The Conference Board of Associated Re¬ 
search Councils for those wishing to teach, 
lecture, or offer technical instruction in con¬ 
nection with institutions of higher learning 
or to pursue studies and research abroad at 
the post-doctoral level. The Conference 
Board will also screen applicants for teach¬ 
ing positions in American elementary and 
secondary schools abroad. 
For discharging this responsibility, the Con¬ 
ference Board has established a Committee on
