Administrative History
In 1969 the 
Governor 
created the Alfred E. Smith Fellows Program to give professionals and businessmen from outside State government an opportunity
to serve for one year in key State posts.
A committee, on which the Civil Service Commission's President served, selected the fellows but the Governor officially appointed them. The Director of the Budget directly administered the program. The first fellows were appointed
in July 1970 and served for a year. The program's administration was transferred to the Department of Civil Service in 1971.
The program was discontinued in that year, however, possibly because of massive cuts in the State's workforce.
