Thomson, Jr. Norma Gilbert CHAIRMAN'S REPORT During the past year, the National Committee's Board of Directors reviewed a number of fundamental questions regarding the Committee's program and structure. The Board resolved that future activities of the Committee should focus primarily on educational and cultural exchanges with the People's Republic of China and on directly related educational programs. When the National Committee was formed over eight years ago, relationships of any kind with the People's Republic of China seemed remote, and the pressing need was to stimulate public interest in, and discussion of China and U.S.-China relations through educational programs. Circumstances have changed dramatically, in respect to both the Committee's increasing involvement in cultural and educational exchanges with China, and the extent and nature of the educational services the Committee should be providing. In the past two years, there has been growing concern that our broad public educational activities have not been as structured, as focused, or as effective as we would like them to be. We have found that the relationship between the educational and exchange programs has become increasingly incompatible, and that our educational programs have suffered as a result. The Board feels that both functions remain vitally important, and in particular, that continuity of the National Committee's visible role in cultural exchanges is especially desirable at this stage in U.S.-China relations. It was therefore decided to explore the possibility of another established international education organization developing a well-focused educational program on China and U.S.-China relations, thus allowing the National Committee to concentrate its own work on educational and cultural exchanges, and on directly related educational programs. After several months of close consultation with the National Committee, the Asia Society undertook to develop a major new program which, it was hoped, would assure an effective nation-wide educational effort on China and U.S.-China relations in the tradition of the National Committee's own past efforts. The Board therefore agreed to work closely with the Asia Society in support of this new program, and resolved that henceforth the National Committee should concentrate its efforts on the exchange process. Beginning in June, the Asia Society engaged an able, full-time Director for its China Council, which was reconstituted to assure representation from scholars and civic leaders across the country. The stated purpose of the China Council is "to provide a national center contributing to American understanding of China, U.S.-China relations, and the Chinese experience in world history and world affairs. To fulfill this purpose, the Council will seek to stimulate new thinking and information about China for a wide variety of American audiences." The Committee is working closely with the Asia Society in support of the program, providing some seminal funding assistance, the part-time services of one of our Program Associates, and coordinating the phase-out of our own activities with their program. |
