These are the participants from 1969 for the yearly International Seminar led by Henry Kissinger at Harvard University.[1]. With 21 names and normally 40-50 people participating, this list is most likely incomplete[2]

The fully paid six week stay had as one of its purposes to "establish better understanding among a select group of people who will be in top leadership roles in their countries in the years ahead".[3] Approximately half are from the field of the humanities and half in politics and economics.[4]

In 1969, Kissinger started working as National Security Advisor. For the previous year, see Harvard/International Seminar/1968. For an overview of the program itself, see Harvard/International Seminar.
