Competitiom
Ideas
Competition of ideas
fundamental to a free society
A free society
if it is to remain free,
Innot permit itself to be dominated
by one strain of thought.
'! Air policy derives from the ideas,
speculation and theories of
floughtful men and women.
Policy makers themselves
arely originate the concepts
,lderlying the laws by which
people are governed.
rv choose among practical options
to formulate legislation,
,vernmental directives, regulations
and programs.
If there is no testing
of ideas by competition,
2! policy decisions may undermine
rather than bolster
the foundations of a free society

AEI works to place scholarly qudies on public issues
into the mainstream of political debate It pursues this
objective by commissioning scholars to undertake original
research and publishing their findings and by sponsoring
conferences and debates, round tables and other forums
and making the proceedings available for wide public dis-
semination on television and radio, ri newspapers, periodi-
cals and scholarly journals. The procedure is designed to
bring about broader understanding of issues and to in-
crease the options available to those who make public
policy
As Professor Friedrich A. Hayek of the University of
Chicago wrote more than two her ades ago: "Outside our
special fields of work, we are . almost all ordinary men,
dependent for our information and insiruction on those
who make it their job to keep abreast 01 opinion."
AEI materials serve as a bridge between scholars and
those who make our public policies. they bring new
knowledge and provide insight into poll( y issues. All publi-
cations are made available to the general public. Ihey are
sent to legislators only on request iritoe 514th Congress, 95
United States senators and 390 congressmen received AEI
publications.

RecuLation,
Severe inflation, serious recession, irnoortant questioning of
our political and economic institutic Is ?these factors and
others have led to sustained, criticai interest in the govern-

the Study of Government Regulation in March 1976 to
develop and communicate a better understanding of the
role of legal and political institutior7, in decision-making in
our economy and society. The formation of the Center
represents an expansion of studies ,ind related activities at
AEI to bring government regulate cry issues into sharper

ri addition to drawing upon rne research and exper-
tise of scholars in the academic community affiliated with
AEI, the Center incorporates the work of a small, interdisci-
plinary group of experienced profes.Anals chosen from the
fields of public administration, polity al science, history, eco-

institutional forms. Dr. Marvin Kosters, resident scholar at
AEI, is director of the Center.
The Center is directing priority attention to the com-
paratively new forms of economy-wide regulation accord-
ing to environmental, safety nondiscrimination and other
standards, a major source of growth in the scope and
complexity of federal regulation over the past decade. Both
the independent federal regulatory agencies and regula-
tory offices within the federal departments and at the state
level are being examined. Researchers are considering al-
ternatives to existing programs and examining the possible
impact of these approaches.
AEI's research on issues of government regulation is
directed to assuring that expectations for regulation be
realistic and that administrative and legislative choices in
this area be made in full awareness of their larger impor-
tance and long-run consequences for individual citizens
and American society as a whole.
AEI is initiating publication of a journal on regulation.
Editor of the journal is Anne Brunsdale, former director of
publications at AEI.

The economic issues confronting government policy mak- AEI Research
ers fundamentally affect all sectors of American society
Policy decisions have far-reaching ramifications not only in
our own nation but internationally Often, however, our
decision-making process is characterized by a lack of rec-
ognition-of the interrelated nature of public policy actions.
Economic questions are involved in, or underline, most
proposals for new federal programs or policies. Will the
change affect the functioning of the economy, and if so,
how? What will be its impact upon specific industries and
economic sectors? Upon costs, prices and employment?
Does economic analysis suggest that the program or policy
is well or poorly designed to accomplish its objectives?
Attention to these kinds of questions is a major theme of
AEI's entire research program.
In response to the need to identify and examine the
interplay of policy actions on structural economic forces,
AEI research explores a wide range of economic issues. In
the area of fiscal policy, AEI devotes substantial resources
toward examining the effects of spending and tax reform
proposals on economic activity saving, investment and
individual behavior, as well as on federal budget trends.
The growth of federal transfer payments during the
past two decades is being analyzed in relation to changes in
the supply of labor and capital, the distribution of income,
and economic stability
The dual problem of inflation and unemployment re-
mains a primary subject of inquiry. Emphasis is placed on the
basic causal factors as well as their interrelation and the
resultant policy implications.
The AEI Project on Contemporary Economic Problems
is an effort to analyze the difficulties that the nation will face
in the coming years as policy makers attempt to restore
reasonably full employment while at the same time reduc-
ing inflation to an "acceptable" level. The first annual vol-
ume of the project was published in July 1976.

SociaCSecurity and
Retirement- 'Policy
The social security program of the federal government, AEI Research
which directly affects more citizens than any other govern-
ment program, has recently been a cause for concern for
several reasons. Projections of revenues and benefit pay-
ments have produced clear indications of the necessity to
make alterations in the present program and to take steps
to strengthen the future financing of the program.
The rapid growth of the system may be affecting na-
tional rates of saving, capital formation, and labor force
participation, and the accompanying increases in payroll
taxes are adversely affecting private pension programs. The
insurance objectives of the system, which predominated
when it was established in 1937, have come into conflict
with its welfare objectives.
The 1976 report of the Advisory Council on Social
Security of the U.S. Department of Health, Education and
Welfare suggests a number of changes in the social security
system and recommends independent study of a number of
specific issues. These and other related issues are being
addressed at AEI through a Project on Social Security and
Retirement Policy directed by Professor Colin D. Campbell
of Dartmouth College. An advisory committee for the proj-
ect is headed by W. Allen Wallis, Chancellor of the Univer-
sity of Rochester and chairman of the 1974 Advisory Coun-
cil on Social Security to the Secretary of Health, Education
and Welfare. Published studies will explore available
courses of action to deal with such problem areas as benefit
goals, decoupling proposals, the effects of the program on
private saving, financing of the system, the differential im-
pact of the system on various groups in society, and alterna-
tives to the current operation of the program.

Health,
Polly
AEI's examination of health policy issues is coordinated
through its Center for Health Policy Research. Rising con-
cern over the adequacy of our present health care system
has been expressed by the public, government bodies,
members of Congress, and people within the medical pro-
fession itself. Questions have been asked about the effects
of various government programs to provide better health
care, the extent to which the federal government should
provide actual medical coverage or insurance, methods of
checking the rising costs of health care, the effects of more
government planning and regulation, and the extent to
which FDA safety regulation improves health by disallow-
ing unsafe drugs as opposed to diminishing the effective-
ness of treatment by discouraging innovation for new
drugs. AEI research addresses these questions, among
others.
Work now under way is dealing with international
comparisons of systems to control drug utilization, the
effects of current programs to regulate hospitals, policy
proposals to reform medical insurance, evaluation of gov-
ernment programs dealing with health maintenance orga-
nizations, medical peer review and kidney dialysis. Addi-
tional projects deal with such areas as government policy
and the economics of medical regulation and cost control.

Legal'
Policy
As Tocqueville observed in Democracy in America, AEI Research
"scarcely any political question arises in the United States
that is not resolved, sooner or later, into a judicial question."
The accuracy of this perception has become more and more
evident in recent years as American society has relaxed its
historic reluctance to having legal arbiters (in administrative
agencies as well as courts) decide issues traditionally re-
garded as political in nature. AEI is expanding its research
on the growing role of the courts in determining public
policy. Areas of emphasis include the appropriate role of
courts, administrative agencies, and the adversary process
in the development of American law and society; questions
of constitutional law, government structure, and individual
rights; the relationship of government and law to the pri-
vate sector; and selected topics dealing with problems of
crime, law enforcement, civil order, and justice.
AEI examines legal policy issues with the view that
policy makers need to be aware of the scope and meaning
of changes in American law before those changes are
embodied in a court decision or legislative enactment.
Scholars with expertise in economics, political science, the
other social sciences and the humanities as well as law
combine to provide a multidisciplinary assessment of issues.
Highlights of the program have included a major con-
ference on the proposal to require federal charters of large
corporations, a series of debates on subjects ranging from
civil liberties and freedom of the Dress to the reform of
government regulation, a scholarly discussion of the
caseload of the Supreme Court, and analyses of consumer
protection legislation and federal campaign finance laws.
Continuing features include an annual survey of the sig-
nificant decisions of the Supreme Court and a year-end
review of the work of the United States Congress. Major
research under way includes examination of the relation-
ship between Congress and the executive branch, particu-
larly on the question of legislative veto.

tising_ Claims that advertising creates "barriers to entry"
and "shared monopoly" are evidence of this trend, as are
the various governmental requirements of "substantia-
tior t" "corrective advertising," and "full disclosure."
Assertions that advertising wastes resources and pro-
motes industrial concentration are being challenged by
economists who stress its role as a soirce of information to
consumers, a means of entry for new firms, and a spur to
product development, price competition, and corporate
accountability

AEI's research explores a broad spectrum of

rights and responsibilities under the First Amendment and
the Federal Trade Commission Act to the effects of advertis-
ing on consumer prices. Current topics of research include
the effect of manufacturers' advertising on competition at
the retail level and the effects of formal and informal restric-
tions on advertising by professionals.

?Social Processes
Over the past decade, increasing attention has been de-
voted to the strength of institutions and practices central to
free societies as typified in the American political experi-
ence Constitutional and democratic processes throughout
the world appear to some to be waning in_vitality. To what
extent are fears of declining strengtn in free societies jus-
tified? Where concern is justified, 1-ow can public policy
work to invigorate basic institution.; rather than hamper
them?
I he American Enterprise Institute has launched a
series of projects designed to answer both these questions.
Under the general direction of Professor Howard Penniman
of Georgetown University an onooing series of studies
examines recent elections in Britain France, Canada, the
Scandinavian democracies, Australia Italy, West Germany,
Japan, Portugal, Spain and Israel. CI rtier countries may be
added to the list, and some of the r..riginal nations will be
reexamined during their next electoral contests. The
anaiysis of sometimes quite dissimilar democratic societies is
designed to provide a better sense of democratic institu-
tions at work and help to inform those who are striving to
improve electoral institutions and processes around the
world.

Basic institutions and processes in the United States
are also being analyzed. The appointment of Austin Ranney
in 1976 as an AEI resident scholar has led to initiation of
projects on American public institutions, political parties,
and electoral practices and opinion. In addition, a major
project on the role of mediating structures?family, volun-
tary association, church and neighborhood ? has been
established by AEI in New York City under the direction of
Professor Peter Berger of Rutgers University and the Rev-
erend Richard Neuhaus of Worldview magazine. The
Berger-Neuhaus project is examining the role of mediating
structures in five key domestic policy areas: health care,
education and child care, law enforcement, housing and
welfare.
As part of AEI's increasingly strong commitment to
research in the public policy implications of work in the
social sciences and humanities, the Institute has begun a
program for advanced fellows in the humanities, partially
funded by The National Endowment for the Humanities.

Polift7y
The energy policy of the United tates is basic to the
strength and welfare of American !.ociety to each indi-
vidual, home, business, and government jurisdiction. Issues
surrounding this policy demand serious treatment as mat-
ters of national strategy. The same or similar considerations
apply throughout the international community.
The American Enterprise Institute's National Energy
Project was established in early 1974 to examine the broad
array of issues affecting energy demands and supplies in the
United States. The project commis5ioned research into all
important ramifications of the enerov problem --economic
King political, domestic and international, private and public.
While the National Energy Proiect was formally termi-
nated in 1976, energy policy studieT continue at AEI. The
project's primary objective to provide nonpartisan analysis
and develop diverse options on energy problems is being
maintained in conferences and stuclies.
Works in process are examining the energy politics
surrounding the trans-Alaska pipeliri.; the process through
which so-called public interest lobbies attain and integrate
scientific, technical, and economic opinions in formulating
their policy positions; the petroleum allocation program of
the Federal_ Energy Administration: alternative policies for
obtaining Arctic oil and gas reserves: and the performance
of ERDA. International topics beinc; analyzed include the
political economy of OPEC, nuclear safety and an examina-
tion of the relative efficiencies ,and performance of
nationalized energy industries and private-sector energy
companies.

As the United States moves toward the end of the decade
of the 1970s, fundamental issues in foreign policy are receiv-
ing widespread attention, and the requirement for greater
exchange of informed ideas has increased.
What are the vital interests of the United States in
world affairs? How are they best advanced and protected?
What assumptions have guided, and will guide, our foreign
policy? What nations will be most critical for American pol-
icy during the remainder of this decade and into the next?
Can we forecast their behavior? What nongovernmental
factors?for example, ethnic and ideological movements
will play a part in American foreign policy? How will basic
needs for energy and technology in an interdependent
global system be met by American statecraft?

J n an effort to study such issues AEI's program brings
together academic, business and-governmental experts in
the held of international relations. Four basic research areas
are tieing stressed:
First, the general area of diplomatic politics, with the
focus on such topics as diplomatic Iistory, communist di-
plomacy, the organization of American effort, and various
regional problems that have potent:al or actual effect on
U. S interests. Also being addresser_: are relationships be-
tween war and peace in areas criticai to American interests.
Speculative effort in international relations theory is linked
with actual policy problems.
Second, the field of cultural affars in the international
setting studied in the light of psychological and ideological
issues, developmental growth problrns, and questions of
human rights. Attention is directed bcth to immediate prob-
lems, such as population growth, anc to longer-range prob-
lems relating to subjects such as eth icity
9 lira resources and technoloQv as problems in global
interdependence.
Fourth, a special-projects area livolving philosophical
inquiry by selected scholars into the ethical dimensions of
international relations.
Other areas of AEI research, especially defense policy,
economic policy, energy policy, and political and social
processes, contribute to work being =arried on under AEI's
foreign policy program.

'Defense
Policy
No problem is more critical for a democracy like the United
States than providing for a national security that will pro-
mote peace and, if necessary, be adequate to assure the
safety of our country No problem is more difficult to discuss
openly, as the subject is necessarily shrouded in secrecy. Yet,
in a democracy, national defense must be public policy, aris-
ing from public debate and resting on public support. On
this premise, the American Enterprise Institute has estab-
lished a new Public Policy Project on National Defense
under the chairmanship of former Secretary of Defense
Melvin R. Laird. General Bruce Palmer, Jr, former vice-chief
of staff of the United States Army, is project consultant.
If defense is to be discussed intelligently, there must be
a broad-based forum through which the public can be in-
formed on basic issues and constructive debate can pro-
ceed. The project deals with four closely related areas of na-
tional defense policy: (I) concepts of strategy, including
linkages between national defense policy, foreign policy
and international economic policy; (2) U. S. forces and man-
power; (3) the administration and economics of U.S. de-
fense; and (4) complex threats in an increasingly compli-
cated international environment.

In I addition to formal study efl-:)rts and television pro-
ductions, the Public Policy Project on National Defense is
publishing a new AEI Defense Review. The review will
focus on a wide variety of defense issues during 1977, rang-
ing from general issues, such as the tuture of the U.S. Navy
and Soviet nuclear planning, to specific topics like the
Panama Canal and unions in the military.
Attention will be paid to the complex interactions be-
tween defense policy, foreign policy and international eco-
nomic policy. Special work is underway in the area of pos-
sible threats to U.S. security inte-ests within the global
econcrny including issues surrourning commodity trans-
actions and technology transfers.

cfnalysis
The increasing volume and complexity of legislative propo-
sals and the limited research facilities available to members
of Congress create a need for independent analysis of
issues. To serve this need, AEI prepares Legislative Analyses
of the major bills introduced each year. Each analysis pro-
vides a clear, concise summary and background of a specific
legislative proposal and explores the substantive argu-
ments of its leading proponents and opponents.
Care is taken to present a fair and factual treatment of
the subject. AEIs analyses are widely used, not only by busy
congressmen, senators and key offidals of the executive
branch, but also by others concerned with legislative and
policy issues.
The legislative issues analyzed are selected on the
basis of their national significance and timeliness with the
help of AEI's distinguished Program Priorities Committee:

In orcer to focus on issues of u- usual complexity, AEI
sponsors conferences at which leading scholars discuss
critical subjects before invited audiences. The proceedings
are published for the benefit of the public, academicians
arid government officials. Recent conferences have covered
the following areas:
Income Redistribution (1976). S1Donsored _jointly by AEI
and the Hoover Institution at Stanford University, this con-
ference explored, among its topics, tne optimum equality of
incomes, income maintenance and the economy, and the
progressive income tax. A highlight of the meetings was a
televised panel discussion on welfare reform.
Arab and American Cultures (1976). The meetings
aimed at developing an appreciation of the vast human
diversity in the two cultures. Among those participating in
the conference were novelist John Updike, Senator James
Abourezk, the Smithsonian Institution's Wilton Dillon and a

cians. A televised panel discussior?, "Can Cultures Com-

Blood Policy: Issues and Alternatives (1976). Topics
discussed included the benefits and costs of voluntary
commercial blood, legal responses to poor quality blood,
and available alternatives for guaranteeing a sufficient sup-
ply of quality blood.
Federal Chartering of Corporations (1976). Propo-
nents of federal chartering argue that state incorporation
laws, under which the overwhelming majority of American
corporations are now chartered, are inadequate to protect
shareholders and to ensure that corporate behavior will
take social needs into account. Conference participants
debated the correctness of this proposal.
Issues in Advertising (1976). The conference explored
the legal and economic aspects of advertising as it affects
industrial performance and consumer welfare. A televised
panel discussion of "Advertising and the Public Interest"
was a feature of the meetings.
The Economics of Medical Malpractice (1976). Con-
ferees addressed the role of contingency fees and consumer
expectations on the propensity to litigate, long-run effects
of increased medical malpractice insurance premiums, and
possible medical and legal reforms, among other issues. A
televised panel discussion was part of the meetings.
Regional Versus National Interests on Energy (1975).
Then Vice President Nelson Rockefeller, Oklahoma Gover-
nor David Boren, Massachusetts Senator Edward Brooke,
then Federal Energy Administrator Frank Zarb, former Sec-
retary of the Interior Stewart Udall and Massachusetts
Governor Michael S. Dukakis headed a list of distinguished
participants.
