,HEISLER AND STAUFFER REPORT ON 1978 ISA ANNUAL MEETING
Martin O. Heisler of the University of Maryland and Thomas
M. Stauffer of the American Council on Education, program
co-chairs, announce the theme of the 19th Annual Meeting of
the International Studies Association: THE EMERGING
TRANSNATiONAL WORLD-THE PLACE OF INDIVIDU-
ALS, GROUPS, AND STATES. The 1978 meeting will be held
February 22-26, 19743, at the Sheraton-Park Iiotel in Washing-
ton, D.C. A committee, to be announced, will assist Heisler
and Stauffer in making and implementing plans; Daniel Druck-
rnan of Mathematica, Inc. will be advisor to the committee.
Global interdependence along economic, political, ecological,
cultural, and other lines is now almost universally acknow-
ledged. Academics as well as practitioners have come tQ regard
the traditional international relations frame of reference-
emphasizing as it does relationships comprised exclusively or
limited mostly to transactions between the governments of
nation-states-?as inadequate. Increasing activity across national
boundaries by quasi- and non-governmental organizations,
business, various types of associations, and even individuals,
with little or no governmental control, has made obsolete the
traditional distinction-fundamental to the international per-
spective-between things "domestic" and "international."
The obsolescence of this frame of reference is giving rise to a
new, broader perspective that promises to provide better in-
sights into the "real world" for the analyst and a more appro-
priate grasp for the practitioner: a transnational world.
More than a semantic distinction is involved between "in-
ternational" and "transnational." The distinction reflects a
sensitivity to the ever growing number and importance of
multi-nation 1 corporations, labor unions, universities, poli-
tical parties, consumers; and other organizations and persons
whose activities impact u(ipn the world in a manner traditionally
reserved for formal government-to-government transactions.
Embodied in the transnational frame of reference are such
concepts as the world citizen-admitting into consideration
citizen participation in conflict resolution and in other arenas
traditionally deemed inappropriate in the international domain.
In addition, it permits consideration of the regional and global
is well as domestic implications of the internal dynamics of
Lion and distribution of food, and the like. In general, the trans-
national orientation brings to the fore needs and opportunities
for the development of nontraditional mechanisms for dealing
with the foreseeable as well as the already evident issues of the
contemporary world; and it does so with facts, values and
ideas that include but extend beyond the more formal,
government-focused "international" context.
The theme for the 1978 Annual Meeting suggests the follow-
ing question as its focus: How can scholars and practitioners-
working separately or jointly-best deal with the growing
diversity and complexity in the global system denoted by trans-
nationalism? Both scholars and practitioners must recast
their images of the world, in order to harmonize their analytic
and policy-making approaches with emerging realities. The
former must stress multidisciplinary orientations even more
than they have. They need to reconceptualize world relation-
ships so that the government Lo-government level can be put
into a multi-level framework more appropriate for dealing
with the diversity and multiplicity of actors operating in the
transnational system: e.g., individuals, ethnic and other sub-
societial groups, multinational corporations, regional or supra-
national and nongovernmental organizations, as well as, of
course, states. Practitioners, who, in turn, may range from
employees of organizations conducting their business across
national borders to citizens, alone or in groups, engaged, for
exampte, in military, educational, religious or cultural activity-
the Trilateral Commission is presently the most celebrated
case-face a "new world" with ever fewer familiar reference
points and with a need for new rules and ways to interact.
Thus, both scholars and practitioners, as they respond to the
transnational world environment, confront problems; but
they confront new opportunities as well.
New relationships between practitioners and scholars
will need to be developed if effective approaches to the trans-
national system are to evolve. "Purist-utilitarian" distinctions
will either erode or take on new forms. How academics and
practitioners reconcile knowledge valued for its uses with
knowledge valued for its own sake, in keeping with commit-
merits to different constituencies, the realities of economic
supports, the maintenance of vitality in research and gradu.rte
education and the exigencies of "the real world" of poiicy-
makirig will influence not only intellectual trends but also the
div cled societies, new -Kwrr43 c1 Fr~41rtRWot,t QUAIar/rl : Cl 4RPPOMO0A65t OGO8000 0006eA live, together with the

A member of your staff, of the office of
Strategic Research, has just successfully completed nine months
of study at Cornell University. The Education for Public Management
program, which-is sponsored by the Civil Service Commission,
annually selects a small number of civil servants for two semesters
of graduate study at Cornell and six other major universities
in the country.
I was an outstanding member of the E.P.M. class at
Cornell. His papers were of outstanding quality and he actively
participated in all the courses taken in the University. He is an.
unusually capable young man, and you are lucky to have him. We
feel very confident thati has the quality of mind to
be an outstanding civil ervan?, o e to take on new, and heavier
responsibilities. We hope, too, that the C.I.A. will continue to
participate in the program, particularly if the candidates are of
I calibre

Dear Professor Shumaker,
Just a short note to reconfirm that I accept with pleasure
your invitation for me to present a convocation address at
DePauw University on 11 November 1977.
As you mentioned in your correspondence tol
I received a letter from
extending an invitation to stay at their home while in reen-
castle. Unfortunately, as I have already told her, I will be
leaving for Chicago shortly after my remarks and the question
and answer session.
In your letter of March 16th you raise the question of
an honorarium. Regulations prhibit government officials from
accepting honoraria so there is no problem there.
My staff will continue to be in touch with you to coordinate
the final details.
Thanks again and I look forward to seeing you in November.
Yours sincerely,
STANSFIELD TURNER

Dearl
April 29, 1977
Thank you so much for telephoning today in regard to our invitation to Admiral
Turner to give a convocation address here at DePauw University next fall. I am
very sorry that I did not happen to be in the office at the time, for I would have
liked to have talked with you.
We appreciate very much your efforts and that of I ill
seeing whether Admiral Turner will be able to come to DePauw to give this ad-
dress. I presume that you have my letter of invitation written to Admiral Turner
on March 16.
According to my secretary, Mrs. Margaret Chase, with whom you talked, you
are attempting to organize or coordinate various speaking engagements here in
the midwest for Admiral Turner- during the fall, and you are considering October
7 as a possible date when he could come to DePauw. I will hold this date open
for Admiral Turner, hoping that it will turn out to be satisfactory. As I think I
said in my letter of invitation, our convocations are regularly held from 11 till
11:50 a.m. on Fridays, which is a class hour cleared particularly for convoca-
tions. We hope, therefore, that the Admiral can come either for Friday, October
7, or for some:, other Friday. Nevertheless, since in order to complete our con-
vocation program it is. necessary to schedule other events, Lhope that you will
be able to let us know shortly what he can do. If October 7 is not satisfactory,
please suggest some other time, and we will do our best to arrange our schedule
to fit his convenience. We are very amcious to have him.
I think that the Admiral has received a letter from
here in Greencastle, who was a schoolmate o his many years ago, re-
peating the invitation that I have given and inviting Admiral Turner to stay at
her home when he is here to give his address.
was formerly Vice--President of DePauw University and for some years
now has been the President of the Greencastle Federal Savings and Loan Asso-

to entertain the Admiral there. Of course, if he would prefer, we will be happy
to house him in one of the specially decorated guest rooms of the University-

of the Admiral here we would be happy to attempt to comply with .
Again, thank you so much for your efforts in our behalf. I hope that I may
hear from you shortly.

Admiral Stansfield Turner
Director of the Central Intelligence Agency
Langley, Virginia 23365
Dear Admiral Turner:
March 16, 1977
Several persons here at DePauw University have suggested your name as a
possible convocation speaker for the 1977-78 academic year. Also, Mrs..
who, I believe, was one of your high-school class-
mates, has also expressed to me a sincere desire to have you come to the Uni-
versity for an address. Therefore, I would like to extend to you a sincere invi-
tation to give an address to the faculty and student body of the University along
with a good many people from Greencastle and from out of town on a date that is
mutually convenient. I ays that she is writing a personal note to
you for this same reason.
Since you may not have had occasion to learn much about DePauw University,
I would like to remark that we are a co-educational institution related to the Meth-
odist Church, consisting of the College of Liberal Arts, the School of Nursing, and
the School of Music with the College of Liberal Arts being by far the largest of the
three colleges. The University was founded in 1837, and we believe we have al-
ways maintained a reputation for high academic excellence. We have a well-
selected student body of approximately 2,200 and a highly trained faculty of about
150. We are a residential college situated in an attractive town of about 8,500
inhabitants located midway between Indianapolis and Terre Haute, Indiana.
We attempt to present only the very best in our convocation series; and in the
past few years we have had the privilege of hearing such people as the Honorable
Harold Macmillan, former Prime Minister of Great Britain; Mr. Charles Bohlen,
former Ambassador and former Deputy Undersecretary of State; Her Excellency, Dr.
Angie Brooks, President of the United Nations General Assembly, 24th Session;
Mr. William H. Buckley, author and television personality; the Honorable Henry
A. Blackmun, Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court; Dr. Russell Kirk, critic, essayist,
and historian of ideas; Senator Margaret Chase Smith; Mr. David Brinkley, tele-
vision news commentator; His Excellency, Dr. Miguel A. Burelli, Ambassador from
Venezuela to the United States; Senator Sam Irwin; Senators Birch Bayh and Richard
Lugar; Dr. Vernon Jordan, Executive Director of the National Urban League; and
many others.

If you could come, I or someone else would meet you at the Indianapolis
Airport, which is 35 miles from Greencastle, and drive you to the campus,where
you would be housed in one of specially decorated guest rooms, and would return
you to the airport in order to make your return flight. We would be responsible
for meals and general hospitality,
Convocations are normally held from 11 to 11:50 a.m. on Fridays. We would
suggest that you might like to come the Thursday afternoon or evening before,
stay overnight, address the convocation at 11:00 o'clock, stay for a luncheon
which we would give in your honor Immediately following the convocation and to
which we would invite interested members of ; the faculty, administration, and
student body, and conclude with a brief question and answer period. If you would
care to hold a news conference at any time while you are here, we would be very
glad to set one up. Also, if you would care to stay at the home of
I
which is a beautiful house situated on the outskirts of Greene ,
would be perfectly satisfactory with us.
Of course, the choice of your subject would be entirely up to you, but we
presume that you might like to speak about the place of the CIA in the national
government and in the world today.
Would you please let us know at your early convenience whether you can come
and also what honorarium you would desire. As I think I do not need to tell you,
private colleges have been hard hit financially recently, and DePauw is no ex-
ception, although we have always stayed in the black. We will pay your ex-
penses, and we will try to give you a suitable honorarium.
As far as dates are concerned, could we suggest as a starter all Fridays:
September 16, October 7, or November 11?
We will be greatly honored if you would find that you can accept our invitation
to come to the campus.
Sincerely,
