Requirements

The Board of Trustees of the Wilson Center requests a federal appropriation for FY 1984 of $2,568,000, an increase of $227,000 over the Center's FY 1983 appropriation.

The increase would go to cover the following items which are explained more fully in the pages that follow:

1. To complete institutionalization of Center's international programs by transferring the remaining four positions in these programs from the private to the

federal payroll: $162,000

2. To annualize the October 1982 federal pay raise of 4.%: 40,000

3. To increase the Center's payment to the Smithsonian

Institution for administrative support: 25,000

Analysis

The Center is continuing the practice, approved by the Congress in FY 1983, of tying average fellowship stipends to the GS-13, step one level of the federal pay scale.

The requested figure for FY 1984 ($1,176,000 or $33,600 per fellowship year) is identical to that requested in FY 1983 because the earlier year appropriation was approved only after the President had approved the amount for FY 1984. Subsequent requests to the Office of Management and Budget will reflect the then-current GS-13, step one level.

225,000 376,000 562,000 + 186,000

Analysis of Increase:

$24,000 of this increase in personnel costs is to annualize the October 1982 pay raise. The balance of $162,000 is to complete the institutionalization of the Center's international programs by transferring the four remaining positions in these programs from the private to the federal payroll.

The Center gives the highest priority to this step, as has been argued and documented for the past three years. These programs have proved themselves to be of great value, have been subject to exhaustive, self-initiated, outside evaluation resulting in long-term renewal of their mandates. Moreover, they have generated substantial international interest. In order to provide a dependable long-term institutional framework for international programs, the salaries and benefits of the two remaining program secretaries (GS-15 level) and two administrative assistants (GS-8 level) must become part of the basic structure of the presidential memorial.

The Congress approved the transfer of four positions in these programs to the federal payroll in fiscal year 1983; This FY 1984 request for four additional positions would complete the institutionalization of these programs.

We have now reached a critical point. Unless funding for administering its international programs can be secured, the Center will have to retrench these programs severely at the very time when they should be building upon the early experimental achievements. They have played a unique role in linking both the Washington policy community and the broader American scholarly community with the U.S.S.R., East Asia, Latin America, and Europe and the Middle East (the recent emphases of the International Security Studies Program) precisely when relations with each of these regions are entering a more critical period.

The Center began each of these international programs with private funding. We will continue to raise private funds—indeed to seek increasing amounts—for seminars, meetings, publications, and outreach activities in all these international programs and will strive as well to increase their impact. But private donors regard the core administration for a congressionally-created

presidential memorial as an appropriate federal cost. Private donors have made it clear that they will support core administrative costs of new programs only during the start-up period, which is now past. This federal support for basic staff costs is thus a prerequisite for most forms of continued private support for these international programs after this initial period. Having tested and perfected these programs for six years, staff support must now be institutionalized if they are to continue. International programs are essential if the Center is to fulfill the intention of the Congress that the official memorial to Woodrow Wilson be an international center linking ideas and action here in Washington.

Approval of the core costs for these four positions will not increase the present size of the Center or of its staff. We have held down staff size stringently over time on our federal budget. We did not request federal support for these positions in our international programs before 1982 because we wanted them to prove themselves by gaining initial outside support. They have now done this and have proven successful beyond our expectations. Without the requested increase, a remarkable series of international associations and activities that have taken many years to develop will simply not continue.

Analysis of Increase :

Again this year, as in FY 1983, we are requesting a payment to the Smithsonian of $75,000, more adequately to cover the various administrative support functions which the Smithsonian provides to the Center.

This administrative support is unquestionably vital to the Center. We could not begin, for example, to take care of our own personnel and accounting needs without a very substantial increase in our budget level and in staff positions. The Smithsonian not only services the Center in these areas but also provides support in such areas as contracting, supply, general counsel, printing and photo services, building maintenance, and protection. If the Center had to provide these services out of its own resources, the cost would far exceed the $75,000 requested for FY 1984.

The Smithsonian proposes to spend this money to support the following functions:

General Counsel $ 7,000

Office of Protection 2,000

Office of Treasurer 21,000

Office of Personnel Administration 4,000

Office of Plant Services 12,000
