these schools in the summer of
1967.
Thompson stated that the
examination will be conducted
by the United States Civil Ser-
vice Commission which ar-
ranges to give it at convenient
locations throughout the Ninth
District. Arrangements will be
made for candidates who are
attending college, or who are
away from home for any other
reason, to take the examina-
tion at a place nearest them on
that day.
In discussing the procedure,
Thompson said, “I have always
made the nominations to the
various academies on a com-
petitive basis which allows each
candidate an equal opportunity
to qualify. The examination is
a general knowledge test re-
quiring no advance preparation.
It is open to all high school
seniors or graduates who have
reached their 17th birthday, but
not their 22nd birthday by
July, 1967.”
The Ninth District Represen-
tative emphasized, “I encourage
only those young men who in-
tend to make the service a ca-
reer to take the examination.
After all, it costs the American
taxpayers a great deal of money
to educate these young men at
the service academies. It is only
fair that the tax-paying public
receive some assurance that
those who benefit by this costly
education will pay it back by
serving their country as career
officers.”
Commenting specifically on
the vacancies at the Academies
in 1967, Thompson stated, “I
will nominate a principal and
five alternates to the Naval
Academy, and I will nominate
ten candidates to compete on a
State-wide basis for admission
to the United States Merchant
Marine Academy. If an un-
expected vacancy in one of the
other Academies occurs, I will
notify you. The nomination will
be awarded to the candidates
who score the highest on the
July 11 examination provided
their score indicates they have
a reasonable chance of qaulify-
ing on the College Entrance
Examination Board Tests which
all the Academies use as their
official entrance examinations.
Thompson encouraged all in-
terested candidates to write
him immediately, if they have
not already done so, addressing
him at 2217 Rayburn House Of-
fice Building, Washington, D.
C., 20515. The letter should in-
clude the candidate’s full name,
date of birth,
and academy preference.
