Legislative Origins of the Fulbright Program

Author

Listed:
  • HARRY P. JEFFREY

Abstract

This article briefly summarizes the scope of the Fulbright scholarship program. A biographical sketch of J. William Fulbright indicates how his experiences before he ran for public office and his activities and concerns as a representative and senator shaped the origin of the exchange program. In some depth the article examines the strategy Fulbright employed to produce a politically palatable bill and his tactics of quietly pushing the proposal through to enactment. More than most pieces of congressional legislation, the Fulbright exchange program is the product of the efforts of one man, Senator Fulbright.
