The above-named volunteer for service in the Peace Corps has
indicated that you are in a position to give us a reliable evaluation of
him. I shall appreciate your thoughtful appraisal of his qualifications
for Peace Corps service.
The success of the Peace Corps will depend on the character of the
volunteers who are chosen to serve. We must rely heavily on the
judgment of people who know the applicant and who understand the grave
responsibilities of representing the United States abroad.
A candid expression of opinion is necessary. No candidate will be
eliminated on the basis of a single negative rating; supporting evidence
will always be obtained from other sources. All information will be
kept in confidence.
You can make a substantial contribution to the success of the Peace
Corps and to the welfare of the above volunteer by carefully filling out
and returning this form to me. The enclosed return envelope requires
no postage.
I am grateful to you for your assistance in selecting the best of our
men and women for service in the Peace Corps.
Sincerely yours,
is Sargeut Nhiner
Robert Sargent Shriver, Jr.
Director
