Activities
In 1941 Mason and his colleague and old friend, William Langer, went to Washington to help organize the research and analysis branch of what originally was the Office of the Coordinator of Information, later the Office of Strategic Services.[1]
In 1946 he was one of the authors of the speech of Secretary of State James Byrnes in which the Secretary announced the return of responsibility for the German economy to the Germans.[1]
In 1954 Ed Mason directed an eight person team that drew up a development plan for Pakistan, and in 1958 he conducted a similar exercise for Iran. The Pakistan involvement led to the creation the Mason Fellows program, a mid-career program for government officials from developing countries, and the Harvard Institute for International Development.[1]
