Mathias Jr. David Rockefeller Janice L. Murray Vice President and Treasurer Honorary Chairman Robert A. Scalapino Lilita V. Gusts Secretary Cyrus R. Vance Glenn E. Watts John C. Campbell, Senior Fellow Emeritus, died on July 16, 2000. John first came to the Council in 1941 as a newly minted Ph.D. on a Rockefeller Fellowship. Over the next four decades he alternated between gov- ernment service and, happily for us, increasingly longer stints at the Council. His main scholarly focus was on eastern Europe, especially the Balkans, and the Middle East, on which he wrote extensively. He was Di- rector of Political Studies (1955–62), Editor of the Council’s Policy Books, and Senior Research Fellow from 1962 until his retirement in 1978, serving in his final year as Director of Studies. He was a first-rate scholar, editor, analyst, and policymaker—all combined with a sense of humor that was the enduring delight of his friends and colleagues. John’s integrity, nonpartisanship, and humanity represented the best traditions of the Council. We will miss him. *Appointed in 2000 by the Board of Directors. †Elected in 1996 by the Board of Directors to serve a five-year term as Chairman, in accordance with By-Law VII. Note: The list of Officers and Directors is current as of September 1, 2000. 2 CONTENTS Officers and Directors 2 Mission Statement 5 Letter from the Chairman 6 Letter from the Vice Chairman 8 The President's Report 10 Council Goals 12 Campaign 2000 15 Studies 18 National Security 19 International Economics 22 Asia 24 Africa 27 Europe 28 Latin America 29 Middle East 30 Peace and Conflict 32 Center for Preventive Action 34 Science and Technology 35 U.S. Foreign Policy 36 Other Activities 37 Fellows 38 Special Fellowships 50 International Affairs Fellowships 52 Named Chairs and Fellowships 54 Foreign Affairs 55 Special Activities 60 Meetings 63 Program Highlights 65 Lectureships 71 Washington 73 Program Highlights 74 National 79 National Program Events 82 Pacific Council on International Policy 86 Corporate 87 Program Highlights 88 Corporate Members 92 CONTENTS Term Member Program 94 Communications 98 Publishing 100 Publications 1999-2000 102 Development 104 Special Gifts 105 Term Grants, Endowment, and Other Restricted Gifts 106 Annual Giving Donors 107 2000 Board Election 113 Committees of the Board, 1999-2000 114 International Advisory Board 116 By-Laws of the Council 117 Rules, Guidelines, and Practices 121 Historical Roster of Directors and Officers 123 Budget and Finance 126 Staff 134 Membership 139 Membership Selection Procedure 140 Membership Roster 142 The Council's Annual Report is designed to focus atten­ tion on the intellectual substance of the organization's activities.
