His affiliation with government service began with an appointment by President Franklin Roosevelt to be a consultant on economic affairs in Iran. When he was drafted into the Army, a letter from the Presidents office excused him. He left Iran to pursue his PhD in Economics at Harvard. Under John F. Kennedy he headed an economic group scouting the Trust Territory of Micronesia in the early 1960s.
