'~~~E g9~?ICFJ POLN;1"'A~350~7A1Tp{~ COME SEE AND DEMONSTRATE AGAINST THE REAL WARMAKERS! The Foreign Policy Association is giving a black tie dinner at the New York Hilton on the night of November 14th to celebrate its 50th year of "leader- ship and innovation in world affairs education." Sec- retary of State Dean Rusk will make a speech, intro- duced by Charles W. Engelhard, a director of the FPA and Chairman of Engelhard Minerals and Chem- icals, Engelhard-Hanovia, the American-South African' Investment Co., Ltd., and Rand Mines. Engelhard has a seat on the boards of numerous South African corporations and also on the council hat sets black wages in the mines at 70 cents a day. 3is wealth is based on platinum, gold, silver, diamonds ind apartheid. Appropriately, he often represents the J. S. government in Africa on state occasions. He is i big contributor to the Democratic Party, and ac- ording to Forbes Magazine is the model for Ian lum leming's housing in the ghetto also of Newark, of New ersey. The 800 members of the power elite dining at the Hilton repres~d a gathering of American political- industrial dynasties, What brings them together? The Foreign Policy Association bills itself as private, non- profit, and nonpartisan. It says it is devoted to de- veloping, through education, informed, thoughtful and articulate public opinion on the major issues of foreign policy facing t1 U. S. Sounds innocuous. But let's take a look at the men who received invi- tations. They come from big business, like Norman E. Obbard of U.S. Steel; Edward A. O'Neal, Chairman of Monsanto (Dow) Chemical; Frank R. Milliken, President of Kennecott Copper; J. L. Atwood of North American Aviation; Christian Herter, Jr. of Nbbil Oil; Bertram IL Witham of IBM World Trade Corp.; Thomas E. Sunderland of United Fruit; and Stanley Marcus of Dallas' Neiman-Marcus. They come from major universities, like Grayson Kirk of Columbia; from CIA-supported foundations, like J. M. Kaplan of the Kaplan Fund and David L. Guyer, a vice-pstesident of the Institute for International Education; from "patriotic organizations," like John Richardson, Jr- President of Radio Free Europe; from the communicafions industry: Arthur Ochs Sulzberger of The New York Times, Henry Luce III of Time, William Paley of CBS. Others are government types: Ralph Bunche, Allen W. Dulles, Angier Biddle Duke, Arthur Goldberg, and the current U. S. Ambassador to south Vietnam, Ells- worth Bunker.

S. continuing the Vietnam War is to set an example of what happens when a small, underdeveloped country dares reject American political and economic controL ~a~~~i'3-1C?v4 Y a 4~~1a6 sr;F?i y~o ~,~{'~.ai ~'r~>X ~ r, The real price of American Policies in Vietnam is being paid in the bodies of young American GIs and Vietnamese.

NEW JOB DIRECTORY PINPOINTS "CAREERS IN WORLD AFFAIRC" Job seekers with an interest in exploring today's world-wide career opportunities, will find the world spread out before them in a new 52-page job directory, "Careers in World Affairs," published today by the Foreign Policy Association. The directory details job possibilities around the globe, from the North Pole to the South Pole, and especially in the U.S. It is directed to people of all ages - the college student, the businessman, the scholar, the missionary - the experienced and the inexperienced. Written and researched with the job seeker in mind, "Careers in World Affairs" offers facts, tips, hints, on working for the U.S. Government; international organizations; job opportunities in this country with foreign governments; working for private organizations both in the U.S. and overseas; working for international business; teaching opportunities abroad with the U.S. Government, international or regional organizations and private agencies, business companies, and others; and provides a checklist of summer oppor- tunities. The directory leaves no stone unturned, with a final section on basic job hunting rules, additional fields for job possibilties, and employment and guidance aids.

Major employment opportunity with the U.S. Information Agency for the individual with college training and little or no experience is through the Foreign Service Junior Officer Trainee Program. The Defense Intelligence Agency hires personnel majoring in liberal arts, earth and physical sciences. The National Security Agency hires liberal arts majors for its research and language programs, and hires engineers, mathematicians and physicists for work in research and development, communications systems, and data systems. The U.S. Travel Service employs travel and tourism experts for work in Washington and at its nine overseas offices in England, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Australia, Brazil, Colombia and Mexico. The Central Intelligence Agency employs individuals for Washington service as intelligence analysts with backgrounds in politics, history, economics, geography, physics, engineering, and virtually all divisions of the physical and social sciences. Best bet for a job with the United Nations is as a language specialist in such fields as interpreting, translating, or secretarial and typing work. Best employment opportunities with the UN specialized agencies appear to be with the international financial institutions. CARE recruits directly for its overseas administrative staff and each year fills about 20 to 30 openings by individuals with a college degree, pliio one other, unit of experience, such as the Peace Corps or military service.

There was armed conflict in Vietnam and the Dominican Republic. Shots were fired in Cyprus, in Malaysia, in Kashmir and in the Middle East-con- flicts each of which could at any moment escalate to involve our vital interests directly. New leaders are in power in the United Kingdom and the Soviet Union. Governments have changed in many other areas including such key nations as Chile, Bolivia and Iran. China exploded its first atomic bomb, joining the small group of nuclear powers. This event alone has affected many of our relationships - not only in Asia but in Africa and Latin America as well. It was a critical year for the United Nations, with the General Assembly unable to take a single vote. Indonesia became the first nation to withdraw from the UN. In Europe, new problems in the Common Market, in the Kennedy Round and with our NATO allies, have demanded careful negotiation. These prob- lems have been complicated by a resurgence of nationalism in Europe and by the balance of payments problems faced by the United Kingdom and by us. 1 Approved For Release 2004/10/13 : CIA-RDP88-01315R000200480001-3 Approved For Release : 1315R000200480001-3 Photographs 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8 from United Press International.

This catalog - although incomplete - demonstrates the total world in- volvement of the United States. It suggests the complexities of our foreign policy decisions. It also emphasizes the need for the work of the Foreign Policy Association. If, as we believe, an informed, articulate public opinion strengthens the United States in making and carrying out foreign policy, then FPA and others concerned with education in world affairs have much to do. We must increase citizen interest in foreign affairs, involve more citizens in study and discussion, and strengthen the conviction and the effectiveness with which they express their opinions. World affairs education programs require continual evaluation, continual revision to make efficient use of limited resources. This process continues at FPA. I would like to highlight a few of the major developments of the past year. For some time FPA's strategy has been to concentrate its efforts on adult audiences. We have sought to develop and create new interest in foreign policy issues among the 10 million most active and potentially influential citizens. This audience remains our primary target. A great challenge exists, however, to provide leadership in world affairs education in the secondary schools. Here is the last opportunity our educa- tional system provides to reach the great majority of future citizens. If these young people can acquire an understanding of the critical importance of our relationships with the rest of the world, of the process of foreign policy deter- mination and the basic concepts that govern relationships among nations, they will become better citizens, better able to understand and use the flow of news and information available to all. Currently, secondary school educators are rapidly revising social science curricula, much as a few years ago they revised courses in physical sciences and mathematics. Specific interest in world affairs education in the high schools has grown. This is evidenced by the increased use of our "Great Decisions" program. Much more needs to be done, however, and the Foreign Policy Asso- ciation is expanding its school-directed activities in two ways. First, we are giving greater emphasis to the use of "Great Decisions" in high schools, both nationally and through our regional offices. With the provision of a Teacher's 3 Approved For Release 2004/10/13 : CIA-RDP88-01315R000200480001-3 Approved For Release 2004/10/13 : CIA-RDP88-01315R000200480001-3 Guide, wider use of educational television, and a special arrangement with the Educational Services Division of The New York Times, this program is being made more useful to the teacher and is being extended to a number of city and state school systems. Second, through a special grant from the New World Foundation, a com- pletely new approach to the teaching of the basic concepts needed for under- standing foreign policy issues is being planned. This is a program that will take time, effort and substantial funds for development and adequate testing. We are fortunate to have secured the assistance of Mr. James L. Becker, director of the Foreign Relations Project of the North Central Association, as a con- sultant on this project. A distinguished advisory board of scholars representing several disciplines has agreed to assist, as have several departments at Stanford University and the American Institutes for Research. Further steps are planned to strengthen FPA's work in the secondary schools. This new emphasis, carefully considered by our Board, reflects the Associa- tion's constant review of its target audiences with the development of new programs where need is apparent. Considerable attention has been devoted by the Foreign Policy Association in the past year to analysis of the role of public opinion in the shaping of foreign policy. The highlight of this activity was a conference held at Princeton under Participants at Conference on Public Opinion and Foreign Policy at Princeton, Robert Angell Director, Center for Research on Conflict Resolution University of Michigan Raymond A.

Twenty dis- tinguished scholars (see list) representing political science, social psychology, economics and psychology met to consider a series of nine papers specially prepared for the conference. (A book, edited by Professor Rosenau, is in prepa- ration which will contain the papers as revised after the conference.) From this exchange among scholars has come a series of insights which serve to strengthen all Foreign Policy Association programs, as well as direct assistance in the preparation of a series of publications and programs dealing with the topic "Public Opinion and Foreign Policy". These include two issues of HEADLINE SERIES published this summer, a special issue of INTERCOM (FPA's information service for world affairs educators) scheduled for spring, and the background papers for a new American Leadership Seminar, to be offered to colleges, universities and other groups in the coming year. These activities will encourage discussion and study of the public role in foreign policy deter- mination, and an understanding of how United States policies are formed. In planning the substantive content of our programs, we lean very heavily on the advice and counsel of our Board of Directors. A special committee on 5 Approved For Release 2004/10/13 : CIA-RDP88-01315R000200480001-3 Approved For Release 2004/10/13 : CIA-RDP88-01315R000200480001-3 program content works with the staff in the selection of issues and topics to be covered by "Great Decisions", the HEADLINE SERIES, INTERCOM and the American Leadership Seminars. Another Board committee is concerned with a continual review of educa- tional techniques and assists us not only on our regular programming but also in designing special programs for other organizations. FPA's Board has also provided strong and active support in other areas of our operation, including fund raising. Six new directors were added in the year past. They are listed on this page and represent a considerable gain for the work of the Association. A number of other significant areas of progress in the past year are noted in this report. Out- standing is the unusual reception given to the "Careers" issue of INTERCOM, which obviously met a great need. The publication was reviewed or quoted in many other publications and has had to be reprinted. Our Book Center, located on the first floor of the Carnegie Endowment International Center, has achieved a new high in sales and is proving its educational usefulness as a unique source for materials on world affairs; its service is worldwide.

The task requires the effective utilization of as many existing channels of communication as possible - channels that can be used economically and which in turn provide access to hundreds of thousands of citizens. Press, radio and television are such channels. They provide a constant stream of information and analysis on current foreign policy issues invaluable to any educational program. An intensive effort has been made to enlist the support of mass media for specific FPA programs. The "Great Decisions" discussion program has bene- fited substantially from such support. This nationwide program involves small groups of citizens, meeting in homes, churches and clubrooms in a discussion of eight major foreign policy issues each year. United Press International pre- pared in 1965, as in previous years, and will prepare for 1966 a series of eight feature articles on "Great Decisions" topics. These articles are written by their correspondents and contribute additional analyses of each issue as well as bridge 7 Approved For Release 2004/10/13 : CIA-RDP88-01315R000200480001-3 Approved For Release 2004/10/13 : CIA-RDP88-01315R000200480001-3 the gap between the time "Great Decisions" material goes to press and the date of actual group discussion of the issues. Local newspapers in many areas use this material in addition to locally prepared articles on the topic of the week. They also aid local committees in the organization of discussion groups. In 1965, eight half-hour radio shows were prepared by Wayne State Univer- sity in cooperation with FPA. In addition to being used on the stations regularly carrying Wayne State's programs, Mutual Broadcasting System distributed these same programs to its hundreds of affiliated stations. National Educational Tele- vision produced a series of eight half-hour television programs for use by ninety educational television stations in the country. These programs, which provide a discussion by outstanding experts on each of the topics, are used by many groups as a part of their participation in "Great Decisions". In both radio and TV, arrangements have been confirmed for similar strengthening of the program in 1966. Media Coverage of "Great Decisions... 1965" Prert: 579 newspapers reported on "Great Decisions" pro- grams and topics, including more than 113 newspapers featuring the special series by UPI foreign corre- spondents. The New York Times "School Weekly" carried a series of special four-page spreads on the "Great Decisions" topics which reached 150,000 students and teachers. Television and Radio: ^ 39 TV and radio stations carried locally produced programs on the "Great Decisions" topics. ^ 90 TV stations carried eight half-hour programs pro- duced by National Educational Television. ^ 52 radio stations carried eight half-hour programs produced by Wayne State University; in addition, the Mutual Broadcasting System also made this series avail- able to its more than 500 affiliated stations throughout the country. This cooperation reinforces specific programs, and also provides tremen- dous additional benefits. The combined audiences for these substantive and thoughtful treatments of major foreign policy issues by the mass media are in the millions. Audiences exposed in this way to a careful review of the nature of the issues and the alternative courses of action are stimulated to new interest and, we hope, in time to more active participation in the study of foreign policy. FPA works closely with the mass media to encourage and expand the audi- ence for foreign policy news and analysis. For example, the dramatic three and a half hour telecast-"An American White Paper", created by NBC and sponsored by Eastern Air Lines, was promoted by FPA through world affairs study groups throughout the country under a special arrangement with the 8 Approved For Release 2004/10/13 : CIA-RDP88-01315R000200480001-3 Approved For Release 2004/10/13 : CIA-RDP88-01315R000200480001-3 network and sponsor. The program provided a unique educational opportunity, and represented an important contribution toward the Association's goals. It is hoped that more arrangements of this kind can be worked out and that FPA can thus encourage more mass media programming in the foreign policy area. Active Educational Programs FPA aims to widen and heighten interest in foreign policy, encourage the shaping of opinions, and promote the expression of these opinions in the com- munity and to national decision-makers in Washington. Educational experts advise that group discussion is one of the most effective ways of achieving these aims, more effective than passive listening, viewing or reading. Hence, FPA emphasizes activities that involve active discussion - whether in informal groups, high school courses, or seminars. Discussion, however, is likely to be barren if not based on solid information. Therefore, FPA provides specially prepared study materials that point up discussable issues. Next, foreign policy problems must reach people where they live. They must be translated into the personal terms which lead to individual decisions and action. For this reason, through its Active Educational Programs, FPA works with the American people, in their own communities, in high schools and through their existing organizations, where they can and must learn to face foreign policy problems as their own problems. Great Decisions The "Great Decisions" program originated in Oregon in 1954. By 1965 it had spread across the nation engaging, in the past year, some 300,000 people in the study and discussion of eight of the most important foreign policy issues facing the United States. It is FPA's largest single program and the largest educational activity of its kind in the country. The purpose of "Great Decisions" is to in- volve a larger segment of the population in 9 Approved For Release 2004/10/13: CIA-RDP88-01315R000 Approved For Release 2004/10/13 : CIA-RDP88-01315R000200480001-3 the study and active discussion of foreign affairs than has been possible through traditional educational agencies, and to give the individual citizen a greater realization of the role he can play in forming the nation's foreign policy. Originally designed for informal adult education, "Great Decisions" has increasingly been adopted as part of the curriculum of high schools and col- leges. The program often operates on a community basis with adults and high school students studying and discussing the same topics during the same weeks. The "Great Decisions" program is based on a Fact Sheet Kit. This compact package of discussion materials contains concise analyses of each of eight foreign policy problems selected for the year as well as reading lists, discussion questions, and tips on how to keep discussion lively and relevant. In prepara- tion, each section is checked by members of the FPA Board and by outside experts. Opinion Ballots in each Kit offer participants a way to make their views known to the country's policy-makers. Groups are encouraged to summarize these and forward the result to their Congressional representatives and to the State Department. In a number of communities each year, they discuss their conclusions with Congressmen at specially planned "Issues Conferences". In 1965, the core of "Great Decisions" continued to be the small, informal discussion group, with adults meeting once a week during February and March in peoples' homes, clubs, factories, offices, union halls, libraries, schools, churches and synagogues. Teachers of world affairs are turning more and more to "Great Decisions" for objective, up-to-date instructional materials on foreign affairs. Their in- creasing interest has led FPA to experiment with locally-financed distribution of Fact Sheet Kits to all the public high schools in a community. In 1965, this was done throughout Utah and New Mexico, in Dayton, Ohio, in a suburb of Detroit, and in the entire New York City secondary school system. In addition to the "Great Decisions" Fact Sheet Kit, a series of special four- page spreads on foreign policy topics in The New York Times "School Weekly" reached some 150,000 students and teachers. A series based on the 1966 topics will be carried by this publication. During the year, over 700 high schools (including public and private schools) involving 134,492 students from hundreds of communities participated in "Great Decisions". The discussion materials became an important part of their social studies curriculum. In many places "Great Decisions" is a community, area, or even a state- wide activity. In such cases "Great Decisions" enlists local support and is 10 Approved For Release 2004/10/13 : CIA-RDP88-01315R000200480001-3 Approved For Release 2004/10/13 : CIA-RDP88-01315R000200480001-3 organized by State University Extension Services, civic organizations, businesses, unions and religious groups, with strong support from local newspapers and broadcasting media. In 1965, new techniques were tried out in several communities. For example, the Dayton World Affairs Council financed the distribution of 10,000 Fact Sheet Kits with funds raised from its fall fashion show. Members of the Council, together with representatives of FPA, coordinated the project with the Dayton school system and local voluntary organizations. Civics and history teachers were encouraged to use "Great Decisions" material. Mailings were sent to all school principals and to more than 2000 potential discussion group leaders. Broadcast media also participated in the program. The Council's own weekly broadcast was turned over to "Great Decisions" topics, and a full hour on 11 Approved For Release 2004/10/13 : CIA-RDP88-01315R000200480001-3 Approved For Release 2004/10/13.: CIA-RDP88-01315R000200480001-3 Sundays was divided between a television series produced by National Educa- tional Television and a specially produced local panel discussion. The Daily Journal, one of the city's two newspapers, used adaptations of United Press International material on "Great Decisions" in full page spreads. More than 5000 of Dayton's high school students -about half the num- ber of 11th and 12th grade students in the area - used the "Great Decisions" materials. The program was so successful in the schools that the World Affairs Council had to turn down school requests for materials to keep enough on hand for the adult program. In the adult community, more than forty groups were formed around organizations or individuals, and a number of "open groups" were formed in libraries and schools. The Dayton World Affairs Council is planning a "Great Decisions" pro- gram in 1966 on at least as extensive a basis as the 1965 program. Prospects for local support for the program, in other cities, are being investigated. New Curriculum Project Students have participated in Foreign Policy Association programs in past years, but in 1965 FPA expanded its activities toward the nation's high schools. In addition to the expanded use of the "Great Decisions" program and other FPA publications in high schools, FPA also made plans for a completely new and creative approach to the study of foreign policy issues in secondary schools. This new training project, "Analysis and Judgment-Making in Foreign Relations," the planning of which was made possible by a special grant from the New World Foundation, is designed to expose students to the wide range of considerations which affect foreign policy, and to show them how these factors are employed in decision-making. The program is being developed by FPA with the coopera- tion of the Department of Communication, Stanford University, and the Ameri- can Institutes for Research. Important assistance is also being provided by the Stanford School of Education and members of the political science department, and by the Foreign Relations Project of the North Central Association. The aim of the program is to stimulate logical thinking rather than rote learning on foreign policy problems, and to make the most effective use of all media for this purpose. Programmed or self-teaching instructional materials will analyze the factors that lie behind decision-making. Filmed case studies will present realistic international problems. Finally, classroom sessions will 12 Approved For Release 2004/10/13 : CIA-RDP88-01315R000200480001-3 Approved For Release 2004/10/13 : CIA-RDP88-01315R000200480001-3 focus on applying the elements under study to the solution of real problems in the case materials. FPA hopes to involve adults as well as students in this program through the use of these same materials by churches and community groups, often under the aegis of universities. The film portion of the program offers the opportunity of enlisting the aid of educational television for these audiences. CURRICULUM PROJECT ADVISORY COMMITTEE Education: Professor Shirley H.

These indi- viduals are often designated as "actives" or "influentials," reflecting their special importance in public affairs. While many focus their attention on a particular field such as education, conservation or trade, they all are important in the governmental process because their views are listened to by their peers (and often by the decision-makers themselves). Our objective is to interest as many of this group as possible in foreign policy issues. We have for many years provided special programming for them. This year has seen the development of a new program and the expansion of another aimed directly at increasing their interest, information and impact on foreign policy. Corporate Services The corporation executive, particularly the increasing number associated with companies which derive substantial income from international opera- tions, is the target of the new program. FPA has established a department of corporate services to aid corporations in providing a foreign policy component in their management development programs. This consulting program, operated on a fee basis (to return its cost to FPA), has now been tested and negotiations are in progress with a number of corporations. Interest in this program has been gratifying. Corporations agree that a broader understanding of the political, economic and sociological developments in the world is im- portant to their personnel and to the company. American Leadership Seminars The American Leadership Seminar, developed by FPA, is designed to engage opinion leaders from business, labor, the professions and community life in active study and discussion of issues of continuing importance to U.S. foreign policy. It is a residential seminar, relatively inexpensive for a local sponsor to arrange. Usually the seminar is offered by colleges and universities in cooperation with FPA, but it may also be organized by a World Affairs Council, a business corporation, a trade union, or other institutions with educational obligations 14 Approved For Release 2004/10/13 : CIA-RDP88-01315R000200480001-3 Approved For Release 2004/10/13 : CIA-RDP88-01315R000200480001-3 to their communities. In a typical seminar a selected group of about 25 local opinion leaders, invited by the sponsoring organization, meet for a day and a half. Costs to the sponsor are covered by modest registration fees. Discussions among the participants are based on materials prepared by FPA. These are non-partisan and are designed to promote critical thought and discussion rather than to present solutions. In addition, a sponsoring educational institu- tion may add special papers prepared for the seminar, focusing on those aspects of a subject which may be of special interest to the particular group which it has gathered together. Among the institutions which have tested this experimental program and sponsored American Leadership Seminars are The Harvard University Graduate School of Business Administration, Bennington College and Colorado State University. At a typical seminar, leaders from the Great Plains wheat industry-- repre- sentatives of wheat growers associations, transportation, milling and baking industries, the grain trade, and government - met at Colorado State University in January to discuss "The U.S. and the Developing Nations". To their FPA case studies they added a supplementary report on "Food For Peace", based on the Agricultural Trade Development and Assistance Act of 1954, which is designed to encourage the consumption of United States agricultural com- modities in foreign countries. Agricultural experts from Colorado State Univer- sity and the U.S. Department of Agriculture served as resources for the seminar. The American Leadership Seminars held to date have proved the usefulness and flexibility of the discussion materials and the organizational methods devel- oped. Several more are scheduled for 1965-66. Associates of the FPA In 1962, FPA formed the Associates of the Foreign Policy Association. This group was established to provide an opportunity for a limited number of actively concerned business and professional leaders in the New York area to meet personally with outstanding authorities on world problems and with fellow citizens of similar interest. Associates are invited to participate in eight or more off-the-record dinner meetings during the year. These feature, as speakers, prominent officials and authorities on world affairs from this country, the United Nations, and abroad. To encourage informed and informal participation at Associates' meetings 15 Approved For Release 2004/10/13 : CIA-RDP88-01315R000200480001-3 Approved For Release 2004/10/13,: CIA-RDP88-01315R000200480001-3 invitations to become an Associate are limited to those who have some back- ground in international affairs.

On six Fridays, a total of 512 men and women from all 50 states attended all-day sessions on the role of the United States in the UN. (Invitations to the briefings were issued by the late Ambassador Adlai Stevenson.) The clay's pro- gram included a morning of briefings by members of the staff of the U.S. Mission to the UN; a visit to one of the sessions of the General Assembly or another UN meeting; and a final session at FPA headquarters on the role private citizens can play in their own communities to increase public understanding of foreign policy problems. In evaluating the composition of the audience over the years, it is apparent that an increasingly high percentage of the participants are individuals from the business community. This year's group also included college and university presidents, mayors, state and local legislators, and civic leaders. Participants agree that the Community Leaders Program provides a deeper understanding of the complexities of the United States role in the United Nations.

It may be a World Affairs Council, a religious group, a service organization, an association, a trade or professional group, an educational group, or a group which advocates a particular policy. Many of these voluntary organizations now include or may decide to include world affairs education in their programs. A major function of the Foreign Policy Association is to facilitate communication among these organizations, to be aware of their programs and their program needs, and to consult with them on the development of programs of education on foreign policy issues. joint programs with these organizations, which have total membership in the millions, offers FPA a tremendous opportunity for reaching active citizens. Intercom FPA maintains contact with voluntary organizations on the programs they are planning and their publication activity. This information is published in INTERCOM. This periodical includes a roundup of world affairs educational activities, a bibliography of new books, and a listing of pamphlet material of value in the study of foreign policy issues. In addition, each issue of INTERCOM, published six times a year, covers a topic of major interest In 1964-65 INTERCOM featured: International Cooperation Year Careers in World Affairs The China Problem The Atlantic Community Religion and World Affairs Eastern Europe Features planned for 1965-66 include: Films on World Affairs The Soviet Union Travel and Hospitality The Citizen and U.S. Foreign Policy Africa Directory of Voluntary Organizations in World Affairs (Revised Edition) Of special interest this year is the use of INTERCOM by organizations who use the feature section of an issue for their own purposes. The United Nations Association of the U.S.A. ordered 50,000 reprints of a 12-page section featuring International Cooperation Year, from the September- October 1964 issue of INTERCOM. Three World Affairs Councils (Minnesota, Cleve- land and Philadelphia) ordered, in ad- vance of publication, 1000 copies each of the November-December 1964 issue fea- turing "Careers and World Affairs". During the past year, 51,000 copies were distributed through paid subscrip- tions and single and bulk sales. 20 Approved For Release 2004/10/13: CIA-RDP88-01315R0 Approved For Release 2004/10/13 : CIA-RDP88-01315R000200480001-3 and lists a wide selection of material on that topic. INTERCOM is an invaluable reference tool for program chairmen, educators, librarians and others who require a convenient catalog of available materials on a given topic. National Consulting Activities The national executives of a number of organizations interested in world affairs education meet with FPA in special conferences devoted to mutual prob- lems. In the past year one conference covered a demonstration and discussion of simulation as a technique for world affairs education, and discussed major substantive issues with experts invited by FPA. A later meeting of leaders of national organizations provided a forum in which each group outlined its pro- gram for the coming year for the other participants. On May 27, FPA with The Brookings Institution sponsored a conference based on the book by Ernest Lefever, Crisis in the Congo: A UN Force in Action. The content of the book was discussed with a small group of experts on the UN and with world affairs educators who would find the book useful in their own programs. The dissemination of research material in foreign affairs is a problem on which FPA may be able to provide increasing assistance. A report was completed for the United Automobile Workers, one of the country's largest unions, which had requested assistance from FPA in reviewing their needs in world affairs education. Working with Victor Reuther, Director of the union's International Affairs Department, FPA prepared a limited group of discussion materials, studied its programs of world affairs education and conducted research on the attitudes of union leadership and membership. Under a grant from the union, a study was undertaken under the direction of Alfred O. Hero, Jr., a specialist on public opinion and world affairs. Ques- tionnaires were administered to UAW board members, elected and appointed officers of the union, and representatives of the membership. The report of this research, with program recommendations to the union, were presented to its Board of Directors in June of this year. Final, more detailed results of the study were submitted in October. FPA provided services to the AFL-CIO's International Affairs and Education Department, helping plan conferences on U.S. foreign relations. In Austin, Texas, a conference on Latin America was held in February with the Texas AFL-CIO and the Institute of Latin American Studies at the University of 21 Approved For Release 2004/10/13 : CIA-RDP88-01315R000200480001-3 Approved For Release 2004/10/13 : CIA-RDP88-01315R000200480001-3 Victor G.

Texas. FPA planned and helped direct this meeting, attended by 50 elected and staff union leaders. Small discussion groups first studied materials prepared by FPA. Resource persons were provided by the Institute of Latin American Studies, and each group was chaired by an experienced moderator. A similar format was employed for a conference on the West Coast dealing with Far Eastern problems. This meeting, held in March, was run in conjunction with the University of California's Industrial Center for Research and Education, the Institute of Industrial Relations, and the California AFL-CIO, and was attended by 180 elected leaders and staff from California unions. FPA's "Great Decisions" Fact Sheet Kit for 1965 was one of two reading pieces used. Dis- cussions were moderated by experts from the Political Science Department and Chinese Studies Center of the University and from the AFL-CIO and FPA. Conferences are arranged by FPA to meet the particular needs of organi- zations. For example, this year, a day-long briefing on the United Nations was held for 20 presidents of local United Automobile Workers unions; a half- day program on "Trends in the World Economy" was arranged for the chief corporate officers of camera companies for the Ziff-Davis Publishing Company; a day's session on programming for world affairs was held for 51 Executive Secretaries of the YMCA; and a session on FPA educational services was arranged for 40 in-training chaplains with the U.S. Army Chaplain School. These formal consultations by FPA represent only a part of FPA's consulting 22 Approved For Release 2004/10/13 : CIA-RDP88-01315R000200480001-3 Approved For Release 2004/10/13 : CIA-RDP88-01315R000200480001-3 activities. The entire staff is involved frequently in individual meetings and discussions with other organizations and individuals interested in world affairs education, contributing information, ideas and counsel. Without the assistance and cooperation of other organizations mobilized by these consultations, the scope of FPA's work would be sorely limited. Regional Consulting Activities Side by side with FPA's national consulting programs, the Regional Staff is called upon to offer advice and assistance to local civic organizations, edu- cational institutions, World Affairs Councils, and other groups. FPA's regional men draw upon their professional experience, and more important, they are able to consider the special needs and resources of the particular part of the country in which they live and work. Thus, their advice is a realistic com- bination of over-all FPA skills adapted to regional needs. To illustrate, FPA's Regional Staff consulted on a community world affairs program in Cheyenne, Wyoming; assisted the organization of the Santa Fe Council on Foreign Relations; helped plan a conference for public school adult educators; made recommendations for the international Simulation high school effort in Kansas; helped plan world affairs programs for junior Colleges; worked with cooperative extension departments on world affairs education projects; offered advice on seminars, conferences and assemblies on world affairs to universities and citizen groups. United Nations Briefings As an educational service, FPA offers impartial daily and special briefings on the United Nations and the issues before it. These briefings by specially trained volunteers are held in FPA's ground floor auditorium. This year more than 5000 persons attended the daily briefings, open to the public free of charge, Monday through Friday, from 1:00 to 2:00 P.M. Special briefings, tailored to the needs of adult and student groups, are an important part of the program of many schools and organizations. This year more than 9000 persons attended specially planned sessions, an increased attendance largely due to secondary school students. 23 Approved For Release 2004/10/13 : CIA-RDP88-01315R000200480001-3 Approved For Release 2004/10/13 : CIA-RDP88-01315R000200480001-3 World Affairs Book Center FPA's World Affairs Book Center, in the Carnegie Endowment International Center across from the United Nations, offers the most comprehensive collec- tion of books and pamphlets on foreign policy and world affairs available in any one bookstore in the United States. Its selections, ranging from popular works to specialized treatises, are published by commercial and university presses, governmental and international agencies and private, educational and research organizations. In 1964-65, Book Center sales increased nearly 65 percent over the previous year. An expanded selection of paperbacks, a new outside canopy, new display shelves, all contributed to the rise in sales. Annotated lists of "New Books on World Affairs" were sent to customers throughout the country on a regular basis. The Book Center also serves as an appropriate location for honoring dis- tinguished authors of books on foreign affairs. In December, a reception was held for Richard N. Gardner, then Deputy Assistant Secretary for International Organization Affairs, on the publication of his book, In Pursuit of World Order. More than 300 persons attended, including the late Ambassador Adlai Stevenson and Ambassadors to the United Nations from other countries. In May, Dr. Henry A. Kissinger, noted foreign policy expert, discussed his latest book, The Troubled Partnership: A Reappraisal of the Atlantic Alliance. Dr. Kissinger's book is the first of a 12-volume series sponsored by the Council on Foreign Relations and known as "The Atlantic Studies". Dr. Henry A.

Financing FPA Programs 1964-65 Essential to the progress of the Foreign Policy Association is the constant and increasing task of providing funds for our work. The need is great. Our directors, staff and allies provide a continuing flow of new ideas for useful edu- cational projects, necessitating difficult choices in allocation of funds. Provision for continuing and strengthening present programs, normal in- creases in operating costs, and funds needed for development of new and promising programs are the components of FPA's budget. Each year these must be carefully matched to available funds, a process that has often required a regrettable use of surgical treatment. In common with most privately-supported institutions, four sources are available for funds: foundations, corporations, individuals and the sale of materials and services. As the accompanying chart demonstrates, FPA's largest source of income has been the major foundations. Their substantial and generous backing has Approved For Release 2004/10/13 : CIA-RDP88-01315R000200480001-3 Approved For Release 2004/10/13 : CIA7RDP88-01315R000200480001-3 historically provided about half of FPA support. We are concerned about this proportion for two reasons. First, the broader our base of income, the more stable our operation becomes; secondly, the traditional and understandable preference of major foundations is to see their resources used for new programs and activities, which gradually secure support from other sources. For this reason, FPA has as its goal the expansion of support from corpora- tions and individuals. In the past year corporations have been asked to take a fresh look at FPA in the light of the changes in FPA over the years, and the growing need for greater public awareness of the nation's foreign policy problems. Our directors and staff have worked intensively to create a better understanding of FPA's programs and goals in the belief that such efforts will produce an increasing level of support from industry and provide more continuing stability. This is a long-range and continuing task. Our accomplishments in this past year indicate that the direction is the right one. More and more corporations are including FPA as a part of their corporate program for the support of education. Results of the industry fund drive last year were the best in FPA's history, with a total contribution of $184,425. Contributions from individuals in the 1964-65 fiscal year showed a con- tinuation of the small decline we have experienced for several years. Our challenge here is to work intensively to increase the number of individual con- tributors, who in their giving express their understanding and appreciation of the importance of FPA's work. The problem is quite different from most fund-raising programs which can tap the emotional appeals related to medicine, children or charity. A program to meet this challenge is the National Council of FPA, a group of citizens who believe in the importance of a better-informed and more articulate public opinion on foreign policy issues and who will give financial support to FPA toward that end. The fourth source of income for FPA is the sale of program materials and fees for consulting services. While we are aware that most effective education requires a substantial subsidy, every effort is made to increase the circulation of and the income from our program materials, where this can be done without jeopardizing effectiveness. FPA's staff and accumulated experience are increasingly called upon by cor- porations and some institutions which are prepared to pay a fee for such service. Such opportunities have been increasing and are reflected in the arrangements made in the past year with Western Electric Company, Ziff-Davis Publishing 26 Approved For Release 2004/10/13 : CIA-RDP88-01315R000200480001-3 Approved For Release 2004/10/13 : CIA-RDP88-01315R000200480001-3 Company, the National Broadcasting Company, Eastern Air Lines, the UAW, and The Brookings Institution. Fund-raising activities for the Foreign Policy Association in the past year would have been impossible without the cooperation of the individuals listed below. Functioning as industry chairmen, or assisting in special solicitations, these willing allies command our deep gratitude. The list includes, as will be noted, a substantial number of FPA's board members. 1964-65 Development Campaign General Chairman: N. A.

Miller, Editor, INTERCOM, by telephone by PMC on the above date. INTERCOM is a publication of the Foreign Policy Association's World Affairs Center. "The CIA employs individuals for Washington service as intelligence analysts with backgrounds in politics, history, economics, geography, physics, engineering and virtually all divisions of the physical and social sciences. Individualsare also employed for eventual overseas service. These are selected on the basis of general intelligence and aptitude, without specific reference to subjects of major study. Individuals are also sought with backgrounds in public administration and the various administrative specialities. For information, write to Office of Personnel, Central Intelligence Agency, Washington, D.C. 20505" This was done at the direction of Emmett Echols, Director of Personnel. 25X1 Approved For Release 2004/10/13 : CIA-RDP88-01315R000200480001-3 Approved For Release 2004/10/13 : CIA-RDP88-01315R000200480001-3 FOREIGN POLICY ASSOCIATION WORLD AFFAIRS CENTER .15 East 46th Street New York, N.Y. 1001'7 Office of Personnel Central Intelligence Agency Washington, D.C. 20505 October 23, 1964 We plan to refer to the Central Intelligence Agency in the next issue of our world affairs periodical, INTERCOM, and are eager to have this information correct and up-to-date. With this in mind, I am enclosing a draft copy of the chapter in which this reference will appear in our feature on "Careers in World Affairs." We would like to draw your attention especially to page G-19. I am also enclosing a tentative table of contents to give you an idea of the scope of the issue, which will be an updated and enlarged edition of a feature first published in April 1961. I would very much appreciate your checking the Central Intelligence Agency copy and advising us if our report provides a correct estimate of the opportunities in the Department for jobs with international dimensions, whether in the U.S. or overseas. I thought it would be helpful to send you the entire section on "Working with the U.S. Government" so that you could see how other Departments were being covered and how the Central Intelligence Agency fits in. However, I must confess that I did have another reason for send- ing it to you. I wondered if you had any thoughts as to our over-all selection of Departments or other Bureaus or agencies. Bearing in mind our space limitations and our need to pinpoint only those job opportunities relating to international affairs, would you want to comment on the ade- quacy of our coverage? Your thoughts would be most welcome. As always with a publication, we must meet a printer's deadline and would, therefore, be most grateful to you for a reply by letter or tele- phone no later than October 30 and sooner if possible. Many thanks for your cooperation. INCORPORATED ? New York, N. Y. 10017 Area Code 212-OX 7-2432 REGIONAL OFFICESroved~l
