WOODROW WILSON INTERNATIONAL CENTER FOR SCHOLARS

GENERAL STATEMENT

One year ago the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars was created by Congress as the nation's living memorial to Woodrow Wilson to be a vehicle for "strengthening the fruitful relation between the world of learning and the world of public affairs, " Executive approval of the Woodrow Wilson Memorial Act on October 24, 1968 (Public Law 90-637), was the fruition of seven years of effort on the part of intellectual and governmental leaders to create in Washington, D. C. a scholarly center to further international understanding. As President Nixon stated in his message to Congress, ". . .an International Center for Scholars, to be established as a living memorial to Woodrow Wilson, . . could hardly be a more appropriate memorial to a President who combined a devotion to scholarship with a passion for peace. . . "

The Center was placed in the Smithsonian Institution under the direction of a 15-man, mixed private and public Board of Trustees, subsequently appointed by President Johnson and President Nixon. Former Vice President Hubert H. Humphrey was designated Chairman of the Board.

Since the organization meeting of the Trustees in March of 1969 and employ-nnent of an acting director, the efforts of the Center have been devoted to planning initial substantive programs. This activity has been supported by a $45, 000 grant from the Ford Foundation. Under the leadership of the Board Chairman and acting director, a broad survey of persons with relevant experiences in the United States and elsewhere was conducted to help identify the progranns and services best designed to fill the needs of the United States and non-United States scholars visiting or invited to the Nation's Capital. The survey was conducted through correspondence, individual, and group discussions. A large nuinber of other institutions were visited to avoid duplication or conflict with existing progranns. These planning efforts culminated in a series of staff recommendations to the Board of Trustees which were acted upon at the October 10, 1969, Board meeting.

For fiscal year 1971, the first year of program operations of the Center, $934, 000 are requested, an appropriation increase of $834, 000 over the funds provided in fiscal year 1970 for planning and preparations. This budget request is based upon the decision of the Board to establish an advanced scholar, international, fellowship program, commencing in September 1970. The program will be conducted initially in the facilities made available by the Snnithsonian Institution in the renovated original Smithsonian Institution Building. It also assumes that the level of administrative support required to develop this and other activities (for instance, final building site selection and information services) will be provided from appropriated funds.

Funding for administrative and planning operations from March 1969 through June 30, 1970 is estimated as follows:

Ford Foundation Grant $45, 000

Federal Appropriations, FY 1970. . 100, 000

An effort is being made to raise the necessary additional operating funds for fiscal year 1970 from private sources.

FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT

FISCAL YEAR 1971

Through the Center persons in the United States and in other countries with distinguished scholarly capabilities and promise will be selected from diverse occupations and intellectual fields to participate in an international fellowship program. In addition to scholarly qualifications in areas of primary interest to the Center, other criteria for selection of fellows would include relevance of the intellectual resources of the Nation's Capital to the proposed areas of study, and a thorough speaking and writing knowledge of English by scholars from other countries.

Emphasis will be placed on studies designed to increase man's understanding of significant international, governmental, and social problems, and the better organization of society at all levels to meet such problems. The focus will be on contemporary and emerging issues which confront many peoples, and where applicable, on comparative analysis of different cultural, regional, and other approaches to such issues. Applications by groups of scholars as well as by individuals to study various aspects of the same major problems will be invited and encouraged. To assist this process, the Trustees may from time to time designate one or more problem areas, not being addressed adequately elsewhere, in which they would like to see substantial study efforts undertaken at the Center. In the opening period of the fellowship program the areas so designated include studies dealing with the development of international law for ocean spaces, and studies of late 20th century man in perspective: social biology and deteriorating environment.

Each fellow will be expected to pursue his own area of scholarly interest on a full-time basis for the duration of the fellowship. It is anticipated that the average fellowship will extend from several months to a year in duration, but periods of study of only a few weeks, and a limited number of long-term appointments up to several years in duration also will be accepted. Each fellow will be expected to participate in weekly discussions, and to undertake or lead such discussions. They will also conduct a seminar, lecture, or other program for invited or public meetings at the Center at least twice during each year spent at the Center. .

The Center will make available for the fellows workspace, secretarial services, dictation and duplicating equipment, publications assistance, a small reference library, and meeting and seminar rooms. Stipends, travel, and housing expenses will be available to those in need of support on the basic principle that within specified limits the term of study at the Center should not involve financial loss or gain for the fellows. Staff will be prepared to administer the program and to assist scholars in locating and gaining access to the intellectual resources of the Washington area. Informal advice in computer techniques will be available and computer programming assistance to the scholar.

A-3

To support the fellowship program private donations will be sought in an amount equal to or greater than the requested federal appropriation.

Total estimated operation support needed in fiscal year 1971 for the Center's opening activities is $1,428, 000, of which $934, 000 are requested as appropriated funds. Of this requested appropriation, $494, 000 will be used for direct fellowship costs in the first year of the program and $440, 000 to fund necessary administrative development.
