The result of that inaction was the Wristonization program a few years later. when the pendulum was swung too hard. and when many people were willynilly brought into the Foreign Service. although they should not have been. I am happy to see. however. that now. some years later. efforts are being made to unscramble that particular omelet. Those who were originally doing perfectly fine work in staff. citizenship. visa. and Department jobs and who became Foreign Service officers. because they had little alternative. are now being persuaded to return to the Staff Corps. In retrospect. to my mind. it would have been simpler if they had never been forced to go through the exercise of being made Foreign Service officers. In regard to the propaganda activities of the State Department.
