fellowships to eligible United States citizens for periods of 2 years 
each (or, pursuant to section 6102(5)(C) of this title, for such shorter 
period of time as the Center may determine based on a Fellow's level of

    the Japanese language as well as Japan's political economy.
        (B) During the second year each fellowship recipient will serve 
    as a fellow in a parliamentary office, ministry, or other agency of 
    the Government of Japan or, subject to the approval of the Center, a 
    nongovernmental Japanese institution associated with the interests 
    of the fellowship recipient, and the agency of the United States 
    Government from which the fellow originated, consistent with the 
    purposes of this chapter.

    (2) Fellowships under this chapter may be known as ``Mansfield 
Fellowships'', and individuals awarded such fellowships may be known as 
``Mansfield Fellows''.

donations of services or property in carrying out the fellowship 
program, subject to the review and approval of the Director of the 
United States Information Agency.

    The National Foreign Affairs Training Center is authorized and 
encouraged to assist, on a reimbursable basis, in carrying out Japanese
