GENERAL STATEMENT TAB A

The Wilson Center is a living presidential memorial that seeks to advance scholarship on questions that matter to our civilization and to communicate creatively to the world of affairs within and beyond Washington.

Together with the Kennedy Center and the National Gallery, The Wilson Center is one of three national institutions created by a special act of Congress in downtown Washington under the umbrella of the Smithsonian Institution but with its own presidentially appointed Board of Trustees. If the other two are showcases for the performing and visual arts, respectively, The Wilson Center exercises its national mission for the intellectual arts. In nearly nine years of active operation the Center has established itself as a dynamic, scholarly institution with three unique "bridge-building" functions. (1) The scholarly world and Washington resources

The fellowship and guest scholar program, which is the heart of this memorial, provides a vital link between the widely dispersed scholarly talent of America and the unparalleled resources for research concentrated in Washington, D. C. As the only institute for advanced study anywhere in which virtually all scholars are selected by outside panels in international competition, The Wilson Center is open to all comers on the basis of their present projects, not just their past reputations. There are no permament or long-term appointments, and the Center

A-l

annually brings to Washington about 100 fellows and guest scholars from the hundreds who apply. The Center provides efficient access to the immense human and bibliographical resources of the National Capital area; it serves not only its ever-changing body of resident scholars but also many transient visitors and researchers who are increasingly dependent on Washington as a principal repository of material and expertise for modern research in the humanities and social sciences. The Center's series of approximately 400-page scholarly guides to the scholarly resources of Washington (two published and seven more in advanced stages of preparation) has made available complete and convenient information on materials ranging from Asian history and culture to film and television. The published product of Wilson Center scholars—40 or so books a year, increasing numbers of widely distributed, Center occasional papers, large numbers of major articles throughout the world, and the widely read articles and abstracts of the Center's Wilson Quarterly —all illustrate the Center's open sharing of ideas with a broader public.

(2) Between men and women of affairs and ideas

With its high-quality residential scholars, The Wilson Center is increasingly able to fulfill its Congressional mandate of

A-2

"symbolizing and strengthening the fruitful relation between the world of learning and the world of public affairs." In FY 1978, 159 meetings of various kinds at the Center brought together scholars, government officials, and concerned figures from business, labor, the foreign diplomatic community, and sub-national government officials throughout America. An increased emphasis on major conferences (11 such conferences in FY 1978) has brought journalists, public officials, and scholars from all over the country to the Center and markedly increased its "outreach." The growth of the privately funded Wilson Quarterly (its circulation of nearly 100,000 being the largest of any serious quarterly in the English-speaking world) brings a broad range of information and ideas in readable form to a nonscholarly national audience. A series of privately funded half-hour "talk shows" by fellows is planned for distribution this fall to educational radio stations across the country.

(3) Between America and the world

The development of special programs at the Center has strengthened the international character that the Congress mandated for this official memorial to an internationalist scholar-president. Although more than half of the Center's fellows (including many of those who come from abroad) continue to be chosen through the virtually unrestricted divisions of

A-3

Historical and Cultural Studies and Social and Political Studies, the rest now come here through special international programs. To our well-established programs in Russian and Latin American studies, the Center is adding an East Asian program. A fourth program in International Security Studies has been studying the nature and history of American involvement in the postwar world using newly opened archival materials and a wide variety of occupational backgrounds and academic disciplines.

Unlike most institutes for advanced study The Wilson Center has no tenured faculty, permanent body of fellows, or connections with a university. The Center thus remains free to serve the nation without parochial interests and is in full operation 12 months of the year. Within just a few weeks during this past busy summer, for instance, the Center organized such varied meetings as a dinner-discussion between leading ambassadors from West Europe and the head of the European Institute in Nice (a guest scholar), a colloquium for the head of the largest trade union in Great Britain (another Center guest scholar), and an evening dialogue on the global effects of the energy crisis on democratic institutions, involving a Wilson Center board member who is chairman of Mobil Corporation, White House officials, half a dozen cabinet-level or ambassadorial figures from smaller democracies in four continents, and a leading environmentalist who was the spokesman for a new political party that was formed on the

A-4

same day. Congressmen from both parties and both houses participated actively in all these discussions. In this same brief period, the special international programs of the Center conducted such unique events as a Russian-American conference on Sitka Island in Alaska, a colloquium with the new president-elect of Ecuador on the eve of his inauguration, and a research discussion widely reported in newspapers and television on the archival discoveries of a Center fellow from Scotland revealing an early Russian program for making atomic weapons independently of the West.

The Center has not expanded—and does not plan to expand—beyond the modest size that was early determined after studying other comparable institutes to be appropriate for coherence and conducive to a congeniality that will not fragment the institute into sub-bureaucracies. Despite its greatly increased and diversified activities, the Center has maintained a sense of community among its interdisciplinary, intercultural, and international company of fellows. The Center has accordingly defined its minimal needs for a FY 1981 budget that will increase its quality and impact but not its size. Since there is no endowment or long-term funding, the constancy and level of annual Congressional funding is the indispensable base for the entire Wilson Center program. The modest increases requested for the FY 1981 budget reflect the needs of a mature institute that have been defined in experience, our acceptance of continued and

A-5

undiminished fundraising efforts in the private sector, and the recognition of the Congressional desire that The Wilson Center remain for the immediate future in our present quarters in the castle building of the Smithsonian Institution.

The present level of federal funding for 35 fellowships a year assures the critical mass indispensable to a scholarly center and adequate to fill up most of our available space. While we see little likelihood of requesting money for more fellowships in the foreseeable future, there is a real need to increase the unit outlay of these fellowships. From the beginning, the Board of Trustees has used the average salary of full professors in the middle Atlantic region as a rough basis for computing an appropriate average stipend, and this unit stipend cost has not been changed since FY 1976. As explained in more detail in the Enhancement Level Decision Package, that amount in the middle Atlantic region is now more than $31,000. Our present cost of $25,000 covers a full year (not the academic year of nine months) and also covers round-trip travel and health insurance in addition to the basic support stipend. We fear that if we do not increase our unit outlay to the $27,500 we are requesting for next year, the Center will come under increasing pressure to choose either applicants of lesser quality or applicants who already have other forms of outside support (either sabbatical pay which wealthier universities can provide or support provided by foundations

A-6

with their own priorities and interests). The Center's unique combination of open access with high quality control could thus be jeopardized.

The other spending increases requested are in the category of Building Requirements. We request an increase of $20,000 in the annual reimbursement payment to the Smithsonian and a one-time request of $40,000 to supplement this year a much larger amount the Smithsonian will spend to renovate the entire fourth floor of the castle building. This renovation will enable us to increase the efficiency of the work space provided and better meet the proven special needs of a dynamic institute for advanced study with special requirements for seminar rooms, space for visiting scholars, student :ns, etc.

Since we are going to be in the Smithsonian building for some time to come (the Congress having consistently determined not to provide planning funds for a new building site) it behooves us to make the most productive and efficient use we can of our present space. The proposed renovation would do just this at a very modest cost. The Smithsonian has agreed to assume the bulk of the costs from its regular restoration budget.

We are also asking for a $20,000 increase in our annual reimbursement to the Smithsonian (from $30,000 to $50,000). This reimbursement, which serves as a kind of "rent" for administrative

A-7

services provided to the Center, has been at the $30,000 level since FY 1975 and is far from representing the true value of the many services the Smithsonian provides (personnel, accounting, general counsel, supply, building maintenance, etc.). Indeed, the present reimbursement payment would not cover rent alone if the Center had to lease commercial space comparable to its present quarters.

The final area of increase is in the Center's general administration category. We are asking for $7,000 to bring the Center back up to the FY 1979 level, the base prior to a Congressional cut of $7,000 for FY 1980. The support costs (for duplicating, communications, office supplies, etc.) have not been increased for several years and, indeed, were cut for FY 1980. The level of activity of the Center (in terms of meetings, number of fellows, number of manuscripts) has increased steadily and substantially.

We are also asking for $8,000 to permit us to provide computer support we are presently unable to offer fellows. We have long felt the need to provide a more hospitable environment for scholars with projects involving modern quantitative methods, and during this past summer the Center commissioned an outside professional firm to study thoroughly the Center's computer needs and to offer recommendations. This study forms the basis for our request. Funds for this purpose will permit us to make better use of the Smithsonian's computer

A-8

facility while offering outside facilities economically to those fellows with strong quantitative research needs. This should be seen as a form of scholar support analogous to the library, and the level of support for the Center's library has been held constant for a number of years.

As the Center moves toward its second decade we hope to have completed the essential work of institution-building that necessarily took up so much of the first ten years. We will be free to move rather to those areas in which the Center can make a real, catalytic difference: to encourage scholarly talent to ask questions more important to the broader society than those often favored within academic guilds—and to challenge the diverse intellectual talents assembled at the Center into communicating and interacting with an ever-broadening audience.
