World War II
During World War II, Slater joined the U.S. Navy and was posted to London, where he worked on plans for post-war Europe.
As hostilities drew to a close, he helped work on the Four Power Allied Control Council, which controlled Germany after its defeat. Slater was deputy United States secretary to the council until [1948]], when he moved to the policy planning staff at the State Department to help form the United Nations.
Post war Germany
"When John J. McCloy was named United States high commissioner for Germany in 1949, Slater returned with him as secretary general of the Allied High Commission. In 1952, Slater moved to Paris, where he was executive secretary in the office of the United States representatives to NATO and the Organization for European Economic Cooperation, set up under the Marshall Plan.[4]
Deep state networking
Slater returned from Europe in the 1950s and became the chief economist for Creole Petroleum, a subset of Standard Oil Company. While at Creole Petroleum, Slater founded and served as the Executive Director of Fundación Creole, the "philanthropic" arm of the corporation.
In 1957 Slater joined the international affairs program of the Ford Foundation. During his time at the Ford Foundation, Slater was named the Secretary of President Eisenhower's Commission on Foreign Assistance, or the Draper Committee.[4]
With the election of John F. Kennedy he was named deputy assistant secretary of state for educational and cultural affairs where he wrote the blueprint for the Peace Corps.[4]
He headed the Salk Institute for Biological Studies.[5]
Slater became president and chief executive of the Aspen Institute for Humanistic Studies in 1969. In 1973, Slater opened a branch in Berlin (Aspen Germany). Slater also established Aspen France, Aspen Italy, Aspen Japan and Aspen South Korea.[4]
Under his direction, the Aspen Institute, which had been a comparatively small organization that specialized in educational seminars for executives, increased its range and scale, becoming a well-known meeting place for world leaders, scholars and scientists on international issues.[4]
In 1986 Slater helped found The John J. McCloy International Center, in honor of his mentor and former boss John J. McCloy.
