DOI: 10.1063/1.3068773
In the 28 May 1973 issue of Physical Review Letters there appeared an unusual “Help Wanted” ad:
“…the Council [of the American Physical Society] at its meeting on 22 April authorized a Congressional Fellowship Program. Funds were appropriated to support up to two APS Congressional Fellows—physicists who will serve for a year in the Offices of Senators, Representatives, or Congressional Committees beginning September 1973. Any physicist who wishes to apply should submit a resume, references, and a statement indicating how his background and interests qualify him for the position…”
