The income from an endowment for the Center's programs would enable the Center to both plan and control its extensive meeting program as fully as it is able to control its core staffing and fellowship process. With secure income, both the selection of subjects and the advance planning for conferences become possible without the delays and uncertainties necessitated by the ad hoc raising of funds in advance for each initiative. The assurance of available funds for the advance planning of crucial conferences will permit the Center to respond more rapidly to special opportunities (from within the Center, from an invitation for cosponsor-ship by another institution or foreign government) without being beholden to the parochial priorities or slot-moving procedures of other funding organizations. Availability of such funds will provide the margin for excellence to ensure the high quality of intellectual endeavors which require much time and effort and the participation of a large number of people.

The second priority need is to better distribute scholarly results to the wider public. The Center has experimented successfully with relatively quick, attractive printing ( The National Interests of the United States ), with FM radio programs and cassettes, and with direct printing from its own word processors. But the technical possibilities for "demand" printing of the Center's many working papers and occasional papers, the ability to produce edited conference papers within one or two months of the conference, the need to experiment with new forms of edited transcripts and discussion summaries for rapid distribution—all suggest the need for endowment income for communication.

"Getting the word out" is a central, congressionally mandated purpose of The Wilson Center as a national institution. The Wilson Quarterly , with over 100,000 subscribers, is a successful (and now largely self-financed) means of reaching a highly educated lay audience. But more can clearly be done with other media and with different forms of printed material. To do this well, to communciate ideas—especially if they are new and complex—in ways which are clear and understandable, necessitates good editing, good design, and careful production. All this requires the kind of flexibly allocable income which endowment can provide.

Third, the Center needs at least a small amount of unrestricted annual income in order to innovate in ways that will benefit international education. As an international center with continuing international programs and a wide network of former fellows and guest scholars in many countries, The Wilson Center is excellently positioned to devise and undertake new activities of lasting benefit to the teaching of international affairs. The "cluster" concept of several articles and accompanying bibliography pioneered by the Wilson Quarterly is now often reprinted for school and college courses. FM-radio cassettes, made with Center fellows and moderated by Center staff, will be distributed by the University of Wisconsin, which again multiplies their utility for college courses and and public-affairs groups nationally. The development of other materials with specific, sustained use in international education—such as the Center's Scholars' Guide to the resources of Washington, D.C.—would be speeded and enhanced with endowment income.

These three, purposes—program planning, communication, and international education—are central functions of The Wilson Center for which we seek endowment. Because continuity and dependability are critical to these functions, the income derived from endowment would provide a margin of assured excellence which does not now exist. Securing these three functions would enable the nation to get maximum benefit from the existence of a world-class international institute for advanced study in Washington with the highest standards of quality control in the selection of its fellows and guest scholars. Even with a fully successful endowment campaign, about half of the Center's funds for meetings, publications, and special activities will continue to come from project-centered support raised from foundations and corporations explicitly to cover these functions. We believe that in many cases competitive application for project support, accompanied by foundation and corporate staff review, is still desirable—and can be a healthy test of our ideas in the same way that competitive application by fellows generates serious review of research proposals by scholars in other disciplines than the applicant's.

The search for private endowment continues the public-private cooperation that has characterized The Wilson Center from its beginnings. As its congressional charter specifies, the Center's Board has the power to solicit and accept gifts and grants from a variety of sources. This power has always been used to strengthen and extend the basic purposes of the Center as conceived by Congress and are made possible by appropriated funds. Because we value both the symbolism and the reality of public-private cooperative support for an independent and international presidential memorial, we seek to attain more permanence and dependability in its balance of funding on the private as well as the public side.

WOODROW WILSON INTERNATIONAL CENTER FOR SCHOLARS Funding Estimates and Appropriations Request

The Board of Trustees of the Wilson Center requests a federal appropriation for FY 1985 of $2,712,000, an increase of $144,000 over the Center's FY 1984 appropriation request.

The increase would go to cover the following items:
