A MODEST PROPOSAL; OR TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE IN REVERSE,
Abstract
The author proposes that the United States recruit foreign advisers from the developing countries to which we are giving aid or are otherwise related in a regional grouping, as in the OAS. This might be done on a government-to-government basis, or by international agencies, or by private agencies such as the Foundations. These advisers should work with the appropriate United States agencies, either within the Office of Economic Opportunity, or in other departments of our national and state governments engaged in the anti-poverty program, or even on a local level. The foreign advisers, like American advisers overseas, should not have operating responsibilities, but they should participate in the work and in the decisionmaking in the offices to which they are assigned. They would hopefully establish close relationships with officials in those offices, and their advice, ideas, and comments on programs being considered or under way would be welcomed and listened to, if not necessarily followed.
