'INTRODUCTION

The American Issues Forum (AIF) is the national pr gram for the Bicentennial Y developed, by the NationalEndowment forthe umanities arid co-sponsored by theAmerican Revolution Bicentennial Administration.

It is .a program_ for Americans fromeverywalk and station of life to participate in on a voluntary basis.

Thekey to the American Issues Forum is a topical Calendar of nine monthly issues -- issues that havebeen ,fundamental to American society throughout our history. Within each monthly issue (topic) are four weekly sub-topics. -. -

The Forum, Calendar, covering36 weeks,has been designedto stimulate serious. and -coordinated explorationofAmerica's abiding accomplishments andproblems during ourBicentennial year. It willbegin in September, 1975,, andcontinue through May, 1976. The full text ofthe Calendar is enclosed, as Section II of this Packet.

II While designednationally, the Forum is a practical grass roots do-it- yourself program. Everyone canparticipate inany of various ways: 'town meetings, debates, speaker programs, dramatic readings, essays, home discussions.

To stimulate and add to local, and regional programs, many national types of support are being readied by both commercial and noncommercial originators. Such support includes television and radio presentations, national magazine articles, a nation-wide newspaper "course,'' written by ten leading scholars, articles in the journals of many associations, etc.

But, as the introduction of the Calendar states:

I-1 0000U 1 ...the design of the Forum is up to the participants. How each of us addresses the issues will dependon how we interpret them: the general topics described in this calendar are meant only to suggest ideas. Using them as a starting point, different groups will move in different directions, givingattention to those, aspects of each theme that affect them most deeply--for we all have our own points ofview andour ownspecial concerns.... The essential thing, however, is to spark a nationwide discussion of fundamentals

Why? As one of the Forumts planners has written:

With changes taking place in our very styles of life, we believe the American people will agree that it is crucial to afford issues their proper perspective, and that they should be debated, and argued, and counter-argued. The Forum encourages all sides and every worthwhile point of view--but it is not just an exercise, a debating society. Fromthese discussions of the Forum's topics will come ideas. And fromthese ideas will sometimes come a firmer basis for public and private decision-making. TheEndowment stands on the proposition that any meaningful considerationof our future requires prior consideration of those time-less issues and forces that have influenced and will continue to influence our lives.

JThe purposeof this Leadership Packet is to provide those who are interested in planning AIFProgramswithsuggestions of how to do so, and with informationabout supportingmaterials and services and where they may be obtained. It is hopedthat these informationalmaterials will greatly facilitate the task of arranging for AIF programs.

It is recognizedthat by the time this packet reaches its intended users it will be very difficult for many to plan programs commencing in September. Some plans, of course, have already been maae, and this Leadership Packet will aid their implementation. Other planners should recognize that, since the Calendar is diiiided into separate monthly topics (with weekly sub-topics), coherent and attractiveprograms may start in any month during the period of September, 1975, to May, 1976. Academic programs might be planned to begin the second or thirdquarters or secondsemester of school years. Others not bound by academic schedulesmaycommence as soon as it is feasible, Furthermore, 'programs neednot deal with the'whole of the Calendar; topics of particular interest-to a participating group may be selected. Finally, programs based-on the topics of the early weeks of the Calendar may be scheduled for later discussion, if a grouphas keen interest in them and cannot arrange for early meetings; the publications relevant to those topics will, of course, continue to be available.. e4 As the Tableof Contents indicates, this Packet contains, folloWing this Introduction, the full text of the AIF Calendar, The next section suggests. many different types of programs which may be planned; it is followed by a section givingsome general "How-to-do-it" information. Section V contains a RegionalBibliography keyed to the monthly Calendar topics. Under separate cover, recipients of the Packet are being sent a copy of the American Library

Section VI, the Directory of publicationsand broadcasts being prepared insupport of theAIF, should be of great use to program planners. It lists andbrieflydescribes the, many efforts and contains information about where and how copies of materials may be obtAined. The final section Of this Packet lists some of the Bicentennial exhibits and displays which are planned in the six states served by this Regional Office.

The staples. binding the pages mayberemovedand the Packetmay inserted in a three-ring binder.

Recipients of this Packet will also receive, from time to time, a newsletter "Gazette,"whichwill informthem of AIFprogram schedules (including broadcast schedules).

Finally, local programplanners areurged to contact the Regional or State offices listedbelow if they have further questions. We would greatly appreciate, also, hearing about your plans. To the extend that space permits, we shall attempt to publish information about forthcoming programs in the issues of the "Gazette." Please do keep us infprmed.

1-3 09007 AMERICAN ISSUES FORUM This brochure introduces the American Issues Forum, a national program for the Bicenten- nial year. The American, Issues Forum invites the entire population of the country to engage in a serious exploration of some of the issues that are fundamental to our American society. What it plans for the Bicentennial year is a nationwide dialogue about our countrywhat it is, how it, got that way $ where it is headed. And the invitation to participate is extended to every individual American and to every organization and every institution, large or small: groups of every kindtelevision, radio, and the press; libraries, schools, colleges; churches and synagogues; labor and professional organizations; corporations and foundations; service clubs and, discussion groups; communities, neighborhoods, and families all are invited to join in using the Forum as a framework for their Bicentennial planning. It is to the leaders in all these areas that this brochure is addressed, for a national dialogue on these issues will need leadership. The mechanics of the project are simple. The calendar for the Forum covers just nine *months, from September 1975 through May 1976. On the following pages, one major issue is presented for each of these monthsan issue-that has affected American life from the beginning, that affects it today, and that will surely affect it for generations to come. With each issue, a few sample questions are proposed, to suggest possible lines of approach; some examples and quotations are presented, too, just to show how often and under what different circumstances the American people have faced these issues in the, past. And because some groups, and some of the media, and some of the schools may want to make this exploration of our national life a weekly rather than a monthly event, the following pages also suggest a sequence of four weekly approaches to each of the nine issues. Beyond that, the design of the Forum is up to the participants. How each of us.addresses the issues will depend on how we interpret them: the general topics described in this calendar are meant only to suggest ideas. Using them as a starting point, different groups will move in different, directions, giving attention to those aspects of each theme that affect them, most deeplyfor we all have our own points of view and our own' special concerns. Some-groups may only want to join in for a few months or a few weeks at a time, when the subject seems appropriate to them; some may use the topics for individual study, others for controversysome for history, others kir current events; and some may wish to reformu- late the questions altogether. The essentiaithing, however, is to spark a nationwide discussion of fundamentals. To do this, it is useful, as a matter of procedure, that all participants agree to address the same general issues at the same time. The calendar of the American Issues Forum will help us to give each aspect of our -national life the serious attention it deserves. An effort at orderly public discourse seems an especially fitting way to commemorate the nation's founding, for the Declaration of Independence was itself the product of well-ordered debate. There is one final reason for embarking on the American Issues Forum. A free people, to remain free, must continually reexamine itself. Patrick Henry Once said: "I know of no way of judging the future but by the past." Through the American Issues Forum we shall be looking at America, asking what is America, how did it come to be what it is and what are the problems that disturb each one of us Americans today. We shall be looking, sometimes, at the pastto find out where we came from. We shall be looking at the tradition* of Americaand asking about ways of renewing those traditionsor of changing them. We shall sometimes find diversity and discord, compromises and conflicts. Doubtlesswe shall also find some disparities between our ideals and our practices, evidence of failure and mere muddling through. But we shall also find ideals that move us and prospects thatexcite.. And we may finally find the continuity of our experience, a sense of our traditian, to affirm and renew. Our subject, then, will be as broad as Ai velop. And as immediate as our own lives. OW?

Because a national dialogueon these issues will need leadership, leaders of organizations, institutions, and the mediamust noviask themselves how they can bestuse the Forum to serve their members andtheir audiences with all of their special interests. They must decide what kinds of programsand what kinds. of material are both desirable and easible. First, the mediapress, televisionand radio, producers and publishersmay consider what they can offer to the unparallelednational audience which the Forum will provide. School systems, educational, institutionsand ptiblishers may determine what syllabi and what materials may best bring into theclassroom, week by week or month by month, these ideas which will be abroad, in the land.Other organizations and associations, both at the national level and in their local chapters,may design the kinds of prograins which will guide their own members to relevant aspects of each issue.And finally, foundations and corpora- tiOns may plan tosponsor and finance special projects within the. Foram, bothlocally and nationally, which meet theirown goals. in this brochure, the issuesare presented broadly; and some groups may want to tackle them broadly, raisingnew questions as they go along. But the Calendar has also been designed so that every special interestgroup of which the plannersoare awareevery ethnic group and every religious denomination,every corporate enterprise and every profession, every paliQical partyand every lobby, withconcerns as different as the constitution, the arts, or foreign affairscan find in each issue the history of itscause; and such groups man develop very special questions which thesepages have not raised. Meanwhile, other organizations may simply find thatsome specific monthly or Weekly istues have compelling interest for them and so decide toconcentrate on these alone. There are many possible approachesto Forum participation; and many sources ofltelp in designing materials forprograms are available. There w$i be special Forum materials inour newspapers, week by week; relevantprograms each month on radio and teleVision; regular ;terns also in specialized and popular-magazines.A wealth of useful material can already be obtained frompammercial -publishers and filmproducers; publiclibraries willbe ready with (heir assistance; workshop kits will beprepared for community leaders; and free reading lists for ensue will be available inour libraries, post offices, and banks vt*,en the Forum begins. Local universities, collegesand schools are resource with people ready to offer help in planning programsnr in Heading discussions. And city, State, and regional Bicenten- nial commissions -as wellas the AmeriCan Revolution Bicentennial Administration and the National Endowment for the Humanitiesin Washington, D.C.may be called upon for advice.

PROGRAM IDEAS

The Calendar for the AmericanIssues Forum, a copy of which is enclosed in this Packet, provides a framework upon which a great v riety of Bicen- tennial Programsmaybe erected. There are many efforts (described below in Section VI) under way to provide program organizers with a rich selection of materials andaids closelyrelated to the Forum's Calendar. The purpose of this section is to suggest several ways in which that framework and those materials may be combined so as to provide opportunity for serious exploration of the nation's institutions, values, and traditions. Organizations,groups, and communities will obviously vary inthe degree and character of their interest and in their capacity to mount programs. Program organizers willhave to judge what is possible and useful. Many of the suggestionsare for programs that could be organized on the extraordinary occasion of the Bicentennial by civic clubs, women's groups, libraries, churches, businessmen's associations, labor organizations, and community Bicentennial committees. Educational institutions would be capable of organizing any of the suggested types ofprograms, eitheras part of their regular processes of instruction, as extra-curricular activities fortheir students, or in their community service eff6rts; sub- section E belowsuggests certain kinds of programs that may be particularly appropriate for educational institutions.

The American IssuesForum Calendaris designed to support both sustained, nine-monthorthitty-six-week-long programs, andshorter programswhich dealwith only some of the topicsand questions raised by the Calendar. Program plannerswill alsofind that the supporting publications and broadcast efforts (see Section VI of this Packet) are so structured as to permit a very ,widerange of program possibilities for groups of different types. Some program organizers may wish to organize nine monthly or thirty-six weekly programs; still others will prefer programs which deal with a selection of topics. Plannerswho find their time constraints such that they cannot Jf-N

III-1 PROGRAM IDEAS-continued begin programming in September, 1975, will find it possible to create coherent programswhich beginlaterin the Fall or during the Winter of 1976. While program planners are free to adopt the Calendar to fit their particular interests or needs, rha,L.5.14ould remember that there are a number of supporting broadcasts and publications scheduled to appear coincident to the Calender; therefore, they will often find that scheduling their discussions in accor- dance with the national Calendarwillmake it possible to utilize a rich array of materials.

The Program Ideas suggested below are listeunder five general formats:

A. Small Group Discussions B. Special Presentations for Large Audiences C. Regular Organizational Meetings D. Exhibits aid Displayg E. Formal Instructional Programs

In these suggestions, reference is often made to publication and broadcast, projectswhich are preparing specialmaterials for the American Issues Forum. Section VI of this Packetdescribes these efforts in some detail andcontains information aboutwhereand howpublished materials may be obtained. When materials so described are mentioned in what follows, page references to that section are made in parenthesis.

The next section (IV) of this Packet contains general Suggestions about planningprograms, securing publicity for and disseminating information about them, andcoordinating programs within a community. In bothSectionIII and SectionIV, we have frequently made suggestions that may seem perfectly obvious to those who are experienced in planning efforts of this sort. We have done so because it is hoped that the American Issues Forum will engage the participation of many citizens who have not had much previous experience iorganizing such endeavors.

SMALL GROUP DISCUSSIONS

The ultimate aim of theAmerican- IssuesForum is to engage citizens in active discussion of the abidinr, values and problems of American society. Consequently, small and informal discussion groups are as appropriate a way to participate in the American Issues Forum as are larger-scale events.

Almostany kind of organization can arrange for a series of such discussions among its interested members. Churches, libraries, educational institutions, li.Z.br unions, businessmenvs associations, professional associations, existent studygroups, and many othersmay take the lead in planning for such discussions. Individuals might also do so by gathering friends and neighbors in their homes. Group organizers will probably find that six to twelve persons

00040w,N,p WALL GROUP DISCUSSIONS-continued

is thebest size--fora group which aims at engaging all of its members in active participation in the diseussion. ,I On the occasion of theBicentennial, theremaybe many Res forcreatingad hoc small discussion groups which bring togethe eople who normally do nothave anopportunityto consider one another's views about the nationlspast, present, and future. Organizations interested in planning discussion programs are therefore urged to contact other organizations intheir own community who mightwish to join and share in the creationof such groups. For instance, ministers, priests, and rabbis meeting in the community or neighborhood ministerial association might arrange for the intermingling ofcongregations inseveral discussiongroups rather than arrangingforindependent programs. Civic clubs might approach the local librarians to 'see if several suchclubs, might join-. in a program to be conducted ttile- libraryor with its coordinating help. Business and labor organizationsmi t jointly plah such discussion groups so as to intermingle theirmembers. Co un.ty Bicentennial Committees might also take the lead in constituting groups so as to provide for exchange of diverse opinions.

However the groups areconstituted, usuallyone of the hardest tasks inplanning a series of discussions is the selection and definition of the topicsand questions to beconsidered. This task has been substantially easedby the publication of the AIF Calendar. Planners of programs which meet less frequentlythan once a week0411 want to select from the Calendar those issues which are of the greatest interest to their group. The Calendar raises many questionsabout each of the weeklytopics, thus providing program planners with a rich mine of suggested lines of inquiry into our nation's past and abiding problems.

Another task whicfi is usuallydifficult for discussion program planners is finding forthe problems and questioils they wish to discuss, material which is readilyavailable and obtainabttrat little or no cost. One of the great advantages of planning Bicentennial discussion programs in conjunction withthe American Issues Forum is that many efforts are being made to provide to discussionprogram planners, a considerable variety of Materials directly related to the topics and questions of the Calendar. These materials include:

Weekl news.a.er essa s "Courses A News.a.er" Pro'ect (p. VI-2): Each week of the Calendar a provocative essay, written by one of the nation's leading scholars, will appear in many of the nation's newspapers anddeal with the topic and question of that week. Arrangements are now beingcompleted to insure that the citizens of this region will find these essays carried in newspapers circulating intheir town. In conjunction with the text of the Calendar itself, these essays provide short readings upon which weekly discussions could be based.

000010 Q4 4 MALL GROUP DISCUSSIONS-continued ,.... 2. Artlwlogyzlypereac,lersMtyirsesBNet (p. VI-2): For groupsdesiringmore extensive readings keyed to the Calendar's topics, the Courses By Newspaper project is producing,a two - volume anthology-type reader. Each of thesevolumes is available for purthase at $4.95, and provides extensive selections on each topic. (A description oT the anthology is included in this Packet.) 3, 90mr-de"Colf2EZitclt (p. VI-15): An associ- atedeffort of the Courses By. Newspaperproject has produced a two- volume communityandgroup discussion leaders' guide. The first volume covers the first four months of the Calendar; the second the last five. For each weekly topic the guide provides numerous suggestions for small group discussions. Some of these suggestions refer to the newspaper essays and the selections in the readers mmentioned above. Other suggestions are for discussion based upon books listed in the American Library Association'sbibliographies (enclosed, see also p. VI-16) which are keyed to the Calendar topics. Still others are for discussions based upon articleswhichhave recently appeared in periodicals available in most libraries.

4. What Is America? Discussions (Adult Version )(p. VI-4): This regional programis editingandpublishing a two-volume series of discussion materials entitled What Is America?/Discussions. One version is designed for use in senior high school classes. An alternate version is intended foruse by adult discussion groups. For each week of the Calendar, brief readings, and suggestions of how they and the issues to which they give risemay bediscusSedare provided. A master copy of these volumes is available free to any group which requests one. Accompanying that master copy willbepermissionto duplicate as many additional copies as are necessary to providemembers of the discussiongroup withcopies of the reading materials.

5. Discussion-Starter Tams: TheUniversityof Denver, in association withthe regional program, is producing a series of ten-minute, discussion-starter oral tapes foreach topic of the Calendar. The tape provides certain"classic" American statements, drawn largely from the generationof the American Revolution, which give the views then held by important segments of the American, public. These tapes will be most useful fordiscussiongroups which wish to compare contemporary views aboutinstitutions, traditions, andvalues with those of the Founding Fathers. Tapes may be obtained by sending blank tapes, and return postage to the address indicated on p. VI-5.

6. Bibliographies Ke ed to the Calendar (p. VI-16): Discussions based upon the reading or.reviewing of books will find convenient listing of booksdealing with each of the Forum topics in thL bibliographies preparedby the American Library Association and a regional bibliography prepared bythis regional program. Copies of these bibliographies are enclosed with this Packet. Additional copies may be obtained as indicated on p. VI-16. o

0 SMALL GROUP DISCUSSIONS-continued Television Programming:A considerable amount of television programming has been arranged,to support the American Issues Forum. Discussion groups may wish to schedule their meetings so they may begin a session by watching the television presentation and then proceeding to discuss it. Broadcast plans are outlined in Section VI-B; a schedule of such programs will be announcedin late Summer of 1975 and thereafter. Recipients of this Packet will receive from this office 'advance information about the scheduling of such national and local television pxygramming as soon as that informatlon is available.

8. Organizational Publications( Several national organizations are publishing views on some or all of. the Calendar's topics. These efforts are described inSection VI-D below, Groups interested in the views of such organizations or in the problems which they propose to treat may plan to base discussion meetings upon their publidations.

9. Project Forward 176 Publications (p. VI-9): This project is publishing materials which will be of particular interest to religious groups. The materials ,consider the Calendartopics from the point of.view of non-sectorian religious values.

10. Debaters' MaterialsBicentennial Youth Debates Project (p. VI-7): This project is producing substantive materials for use by debaters in highschools and colleges. These materials should be available at local libraries andschools and may provide additional materials upon which adult groups may base their discussions.

Allof the abovementioned materials (withthe exception of t14- essays published for the "CoursesByNewspaper") contain, suggestions to the discussion group leaders as to how they may be used, as well as what substantive questions about American society may be asked. The Calendar i5self, of course, raises manysuch questions and some groupsmay find it possible to base discussions solely upon the Calendar.

SPECIAL PRESENTATIONS FOR LARGE AUDIENCES

Manyorganizationsareplanning specialAmerican IssuesForum programs for relativelylarge audiences. Such programs may take many forms. Some are designed to be monthly events involving carefully-prepared, live presentations relatingto Forumissues which will serve to stimulate discussi9n among the audience© Some additionally hope to serve as initiating events which are to be followedbysmall group discussions during the balance of the month they are scheduled. Still &tilers are designed not as a sustained series of programs but rather as explorations of a single monthly or weekly topic of particular interest to the sponsoring group, Some are open to the general public; others are designed for participation by a specific group. 0. SPECIAL PRESENTATIONS FOR,LARGE.AUDIENCES-cbntinued

Most large..audience events require careful planning of initial preSentations of-the issues and points of view on tivm; These presentations may take several .forms: N 1. Two prominent advocates of conflicting positions on contemporary issues may beasked to present their views as a means of stimulating quegtions' from the audience. Thiswas a format that was once used on national radio in the very ssful "Tdwn Hall of the Air" broadcasts.

2. The same "Town Hall" approachma)be employed in the presentation anddiscussionof conflicting views of how American society has, in the past, sought to, solve the abiding issueswith which the Calendar deals. If thismeans of initiating cdiscussion is chosen, it will frequentlybedesirable to draw uponthe knowledge of the American past possessedby academic specialists in nearby'colleges, universities,community colleges, andschools. Once the views are presented, themeeting's moderator may guide the discussion, to a ,...... comparison of the experiences of the past with present efforts-to resolve the issues under discussion.

3. Many ofthe jorum topicdsc deal with theoperation of important institutions in Ainerican. society. Local leaders of those institutions (the' press, the church, the school, city or county planning offices, governmentalentities) may be asked to initiate discussion by reflecting upon hawthe institutions for which they are responsible operate in the contemporary world. They may also be asked to explain how they believe them to have evelved, and what future development they think would be beneficial.

if 4. Many studentsin high school andcollegewill be engaged in the Btcentennial'Youth Debate program (p. VI-7). Adult groups might find veryinteresting the views presented by ,such deba rs on the topics of the American Issues Forum. Programplanners) w o decide to, initiate discussions and special events by this means May contact the Regional or State Coordibators of theBicentennial Youth Debates (whose names and addresses are listed on p. VI-7 and 8) or this office for the names and addresses of local coordinators.

5. Alternatively, some Foru programs may begin with a panel discussion rather . than a sided d bate. Panels have the advantage of making it possible to hear mo ews on an issuehan the debate format permits. __They have the dis dean age of requiring 'bore time for initial i)rese Ca- tion' ofviews.Althougpanels often fail to focus issues as dP4arlas is done in .d ate fo ts, the panel forma,t may be advantageous in hat it avoids o er-simplifi ation of complex issues. Panels may be construc- ted on se eralprinciples. One is to represent. .the diversity of Lews that exist,in a community on a, given topic. Another is to seek 'to bring in o a community experts to provide information on a su ject 'which is not o ily without r the guests in the positionof being a t ofparti ular solut_uns to a stated problem. Still another is to comb'ne paneli is knowledgeable about the past with

others involved in current fai45- / O SPECIAL PRESENTATIONS FOR LARGE AUDIENCES-continued

6. Singlespeakers mayalsobe used to make the initial presentation and thereby to stimulate discussion. Scheduling one- speaker only will soften be particularly advatageous when it is possible to obtaina noted public figure or an outstanding expert on the subject of the meeting.

7. Feature and documentary films can also be used to initiate discussion. An annotated list of films wh' a e vailable from rental libraries and fl) 'Iihich dealwith the issues on the Fo um Calendar is available -from the Educational 'Film Library Associationp. VI-16). Additi listings of films are contained in the enclosed bibliography prepared'by the American Library Assarciation.

8. Some institytions "andgroups' may1), able to arrange for dramatic readings or dramatic performances to serve as the initiators of - cussion. Excerpts from American literature, political speeches, aneother public declarationsdealing with the issues of the Calendar may be used for suchpresentations. If programs feature dramatic performances, it will be desirable to appoint a discussion leader to start the ensuing discussion.

9. Large public Forums may also base their discussionupon all or part of special media preseAtations which deal with topics of the American Issues' Calendar. It is usually impossible to obtain tapes-of programs broadcast bythe televisionnetworks. If suchprograms were to be used as the starting points ofdiscussions, the live eventswould need to be scheduled so that the programs could be viewed while'being broadcast. One series of television programming, featuring the essayists of the national Courses By Newspaper, is beingproducedthrough several cooperating institutionsinthe state of Utah (p. VI-13). Tape cassettes of these programswill beavailable to interestedgroups, and may provide an opportunity for planning programs based upon them. The PBS series (p. VI- 5 and 6) may also beavailable in filmcopies for use by program planners; arrangements to make them so available are not yet complete and inquiries should be directed to this office.

REGULAR ORGANIZATIONAL MEETINGS

The American Issues For Calendar,,also provides a basis for planning Bicentennial programs fo the regularmeetings of a wide range of organizations.Businessmen's civic and service,associations, parent-teacher associations, laborunions, youth groups, women's clubs, anda host of other organizationswill find in the Calendarand in the written materials and broadcastsbeingprepared to support the Forumriraluable ideas and resources for the planning of programs for their regularly-scheduled meetings during the Bicentennial year.Many/national organizations are urging their local affiliates to incorporate the Forum in their meeting plans; some of these are also publishingcommentsoressays upon the Forum topics in their organizational

000161-3 REGULAR ORGANIZATIONAL:MEETINGS-continued journals, in order to stimulate such local programs and provide organizational viewpointsupon the topics of the Calendar (see Section VI-D and E for a partial listing of such efforts).

.. All of the program ideas briefly described inthe previous sub-section entitled"Special Presentations forLarge Audiences," should be considered by the program qmirman of organizations holding regular meetings. Some of the suggestions in \the sub-section dealing with small discussion groups may also prove useful.-LiSt5ed below area few spec al comments about the- adaptation of some of the previously, mentioned prog aim ideas for use by organizations in their regular meetings. It is recognized that it may be difficult to plan American IssuesForum programs for the 'fall, given the lead-time involved in setting,organizational programs. Nevertheless, it is hoped that the program chairmalof such organizations Ifni: cionsider American Issues Forum programs during'the calendar year of 1976.

1. Speakers: Brief addresses to luncheon, breakfast, and other regularly- scheduled meetings are perhaps theomost natural and normal programs for many associations. Organizationshaving frequent meetings may consider participation'in the American Issues Forum by scheduling some of them, perhaps on a once-a-monthbasis, to beaddressedbythose in the community's schools or institutions of higher education who have special, professionalknowledge of theAmerican past. Alternatelyr-as'was suggested above in item B-3, ' thoseresponsible for leading community institutions, can be askedto reflect- upontheir development at the appropriate time according to the Forum Calendar.

2. Bicentennial Youth Debate Programs:Theparticipants in the Bicen- tennial Youth Debates may be invited to present their points of view to organizational meetings. TheForum affords an unusual opportunity for adults to hear the views of youth on American institutions, values, and traditions. (For a description of the Bicentennial Youth Debate Program, see item B.-4 above,and p.. VI-7.)

3. Book Review Programs: Some organizations may find it most suitable and conventient to arrange Forum programs by asking'several of their members to review andpresent theviewpoints of important books dealing with American institutions. The American Library Association's Bibliographies, enclosed, and the Courses B Newseaer Communit Guide: A Source Book For American Issues Forum Volume Iand Volume II (p. VI-15) suggest several interesting .works for each of the Calendar's topics. There are, of course, a great manyotherbookswhich may be utilized in the same fashionand programs might Nell reflect the particular focus of interest of the group. REGULAR ORGANIZATIONAL YEETINGS-continued

4. Informal Discussion: Some organizations, particularlythose whose meetings are relatively small, may prefer to organize Forum progra byengagingininformaldiscussion. Questions raised by the Forum Calendarandthe provocative insights on theAmerican past,N, publishedin the weekly articles published in the Courses By Newspaper project provide readily accessible and conveniently brief materialswhich could serveas discussion starters. Other discussion starting materials are available in the adult version of What Is America? beingproduced by thisRegionalProgram (p. VI-4) and in the associated oral tapes (p. VI-5).

EXHIBITS AND DISPLAYS

Local collections of books, photographs, paintings, and otherart forms may be arranged as exhibits relating to the.AIF topics. Many librariesin this region have- committed themselves to arranging such bookdisplays. Citizens groups planning to organize discussion programs should contact their local libraryto see if such plans have been made to serve asa resource center. If your group makessuch contacts and finds the library willing to organize suchan exhibit or collection, but in need of aid in doing so, have the local librarycontact the AU, Regional Program State Director' or Regional Office for aide

The Gaylord Brothers Bicentennial Special Program (p0 VI-10) package for the American Issues Forum provides many reprints of pertinent articles and other materials° at a relatively modest cost ($50)0 This packageis designed particularly for the need of small libraries.

Exhibits of photographs, paintingsand art works neednot however, be confined to libraries. Such a collection or display in department stores, banks, andothercommercial and non-commercial places with large pedestrian traffics (especially shopping malls) may serve as particularly good ways to attractparticipation in discussion, Town Hall, or other programs planned in your community.

Preparation of such a display might veil be undertaken as a groupprogram. Discussionsof how to illustrate the meanings of the American pastcan engage the active participationof a groupos members and serve as a valuable focus for consideration of that past.

Many exhibits relating to the bicentennial are beingprepared by local museumsand historical societies. A list of some of them is included in Section VII of this Packet. Touts to such exhibits or to other historic sites may provide a starting point for discussions of Forum topics.

FORMAL INSTRUCTIONAL PROGRAMS

The American Issues Forum offers an opportunity to educational institutions to organizeandoffer specialBicentennial programs of a sustained character, either for the whole of the 1975-1976 academic year, or for some part of it. Special instructional materials supporting the Calendar have beenprepared and are described below andin Section VI-AandB. Suchofferings might be made either to regular students, asextension division efforts, or as ton. credit cenimunity service programs.The suggestions below are given in very brief form, since educators interested in pursuing the Americanissues Forum idea are familiar with the problems and opportunities ofplanning instruc- tionalprograms.

1. Courses By Newspaper: The NationalEndowment for the Humanities is sponsoring, twocourses bynewspaperin conjunction with the American IssuesForum; the firstwillcover the first our months of the Calendar's topics; the second will cover the last five months. In additionto thenewspaperessays written by eminent Americanscholars (see p. VI -2 for more information)which will be published in newspapers throughout the region, the project has prepared a two-volumeanthology of readings, of the sort commonly used in college survey courses,and study guidesfor suchcourses. Many colleges anduniversities in this region are already planning to offercredit for the Courses By Newspaper through theirextensiondivisions. Others who may become interested indoing so should contact this Regional AIF Office for further informationabout making arrangements. Highschool advancedplacement courses and non- creditadult education programs may also find these materialsuseful. No special permissions are necessary if an institutiondecides to Offer non- credit programs. Users of these Courses By Newspapermaterials may also be interested in the series of educationaltelevision programs being made throughthe cooperation of several institutions in Utah which will feature the essayists of thenational Courses By Vempaper answering questions and objections to what they have written.

4. Courses and Special Lecture Series:. Colleges and universitiesmay design other special courses for credit based on the AIF program, as one university .alreadyhas. Faculty members may be recruited from relevant departments, each specialistspeaking at free public lectures,to the Calendar's 36 weekly topics.An American History Survey course--and others-Tmaybecoordinated with the lectures so studenta"may join with the largercommunity in hearing a variety of scholarly perspectives on American society. Radio broadcasts of the series may be also possible.

5. .tlL,eadersh32.Model.Coriniurd: A community college or high school could enlist the knowledge of its community leaders through its Adult Education programs, and plan a series of local town-hall forums, during which political leaders, city planners, religious and judicial leaders:, newspaper editors, among others, coulddiscuss theirown institutions in relation to pertinent AIF issues. Students, adult publics, and faculty memberscould be active participants. Such a course could also provide college credit.

6. Special In-Service or On -Cam us DesiGedforTeacher Certifi- cation: Using materials for the Courses By Newspaper project, plus those prepared for high school social studies classes, institutions of high learningcan offer courses designed to serve teachers in public schools. Materials prepared for the Bicentennialyearwillcontinue to have validity foryears to come;materials being prepared for the AIF may continue to be used,--particularly in social studies offerings in schools.

7. Special Seminars and Colloquia: Some educational institutions may wish to emphasize one or a few of the monthly or weekly Forum Calendar issues, and do sowith special seminars or colloquia on these topics. For instance, visiting scholars and permanent faculty might examine -- before students orcommunity--America's place itthe world and its present search for a new foreign policy, in conjunction with topics pointed Ito by the Calendar's seventh month.

8* Simulations: A simulated constitutional convention or bill of rights drafting session may be planned in connection with the relevant Calendar topics. Participants (who mightbe students already enrolled in the sponsoring institution, or delegates from nearby schools, or members of co-sponsoring adult groups in the community) might be led to debate the rewriting of the Constitution or the Bill of Rights on the basis of their presentviews and their knowledge of what has happened since the 17801s0 Several other Forum issues could also be treated in like wayso SECTION IV

GENERAL "HOW-TO-DO-IT" SUGGESTIONS:

The preceding section of this LeadershipPacket describes many different types of American Issues. Forum programs which may be organized. The problems encountered by program plannerswill obviously vary somewhat according to whether they are planning small group discussions, large public presentations, or formalinstructionalefforts. This section of. the Packet describes some commonproblems which may be encountered by planners of all types of programs and makesbriefsuggestions of how to cope'with them. It is hoped that many groups and communities who are not normally engaged in the conduct of programs similarto the American Issues Forum may become involved on the occasion of theBicentennial. The section is, therefore, provided as an aid for those who mayhave little or no experience in the planning of such efforts,even though thosewhoare experienced in organizing educational or extended discussion programs' will probably findlittle here that is not already known to them.

SUBSTANTIVE CHARACTER OF THE PROGRAMS

Whether you are planning for small discussion groups or presentations to largerpublicaudiences, it is important to recognize that the American Issues ForumCalendarraises a number of important questions about each of theweeklytopics it contains. Discussiohs or presentations which would attempt to deal with a whole range of questions raised by the Calendar teat fora given week would, in all probability, produceverydiffuse and unsatisfactoryconsid.,rations of the ability problems of American society° It isbetter to begineach session with a fairly precise question, or a limited set of questions, and concentrate initial discussions or presentations

/1.

IV-1

C')ID040 upon it, letting the process of discussion lead the group into other questions if time permits. Program planners are, therefore, advised to select fram the several questionsraised by the Calendar text for each-week, one particular point of inquiry which willbe of great initial interest to the intended audience.

For instance, the Calendartopic for the week of November 30 - December 6 is"A President: An. ElectedExecutive."TheCalendar text poses many' questionsaboutthe Presidency: Have the original intentions of the founding fathers been carried out in the development of the institution? Has the office of thePresidentgrown toopowerful? How cau the President respond to the popular will? How can he control the government? Do we select Presidents on a valid basis?,A presentation or discussion which would attempt to deal with all ofthesequestions simultaneously would probably prove unsatisfactory to participants becauseitwould dealwith none e.fhem in a sufficiently sustained andorderly fashion, It is, therefore, recommended, to,program plannersand.discussion leaders that they choose one particular question as a pointof departureandprovide to their audience some examples of how that question hasarisen and/or is now before the Amefican public. The published materials which have been developed to support the American Issues Forum take this approach. For instance, in the school version of,What Is America?/Disous. sions, students are firstchallenged to consider how the extent of Presi- dential power to control domestic matters in time of war has been debated and defined in certain important episodes of our nation's history. From discussion of thatparticularquestion,theyare then lead to consideration of other questionsabout the Presidency. Other specially published materials deal with other particular questions' about the institution.

In. planning American IssuesForum prpgrams itshould alsobe remembered that the intent of the Forumis notsimply to consider and celebratethe events of the Revolutionary generation; nor is it to consider onlycontemporarypublic issues. It is,,rather, to investigate the abiding problemsof Americansociety; problems which, becausethey are abiding, were important in the (pastandremain important today, and, in most instances I- -Presumablyremainimportant tomorrow, The ideal American Forumprogram is, therefore, one which considers today's problems inthe context of past effortof Americans to solve similar problems. It was those efforts that produced the institutions, thevalues, and the traditions which constituteboththe basisof contemporary problems and much of the American society's resourceswith which to deal with them, Mostofthe AIF's supporting publications, described in the preceding section andin greaterdetail in Section VI of this Packet, are designed withthis understanding of the philosophy of theAmerican IsSues Forum in mind; theywill, therefore, be most readily usable 'ey programs which are planned to consider past andpresenttogether, ruaer than either separ: of y.

For example, the lesson unit in the school version of What Is America?/Discus- sions, which deals withthe topicscheduled for October26 - November 1, "Freedom ofSpeech, Assembly, and Religion," provides to students information about how courts defined these freedoms in both the colonial period of Atuericall history and inthe recent past.-Most of the other materials being publishedarcsimilar in that they also follow what may roughly be described as a -"then" and"now" format. Similar introductory approaches to Calendar topics would-prove to be a useful and effective means of stimulating interest wit!in a small group or larger audience.

RESOURCES

Regardless of the type program orevent which is planned, and despite, the fact that publishedand broadcast materialsill be readily available for usein suchprograms, programplanners willhave to consider how to obtain and organize local human, physical, and financial resources.

1. Kaman Eesources: Host Americancommunitiescontain a surprising number of persons whoareknowledgeable about this nation's past and concerned andinformedabout thecurrent manifestations of its abiding problems,Obviously, if there is,a college, university, or community college in or near a community, program planners will look toward faculty as one group whichcan furnish the humantresources needed for large scale presentations or the leadingofsmall discussion groups. In every community, teachers in the

. public school system, particularly those who instruct in history or the social studies, willhavemuch to offer to adult audiences as well as to their own students, Most teachers, with whom the staff of the Regional Program has been in contacthave welcomed the idea that the American Issues Forum may provide them an opportunity to share their insights into American society with adult audiences, But rememberthat teachers atall levels of instruction have many commitments; some ofthem willbe veryheavily engaged during the Bicentennial year in American Issues Forum programs being offered by their own institutions, and in other Bicentennial efforts. Early contact with the school or college from wham you hope to obtain contributors to your programs is thereforestron3ly advised,As some of the program ideas in the preceding section' of this Packet have suggested, however, there are many others besides thoseacademicinstitutions whoare able, and perhaps would be willing, to take a leadingrole in discussion groups in the making of presentations to largeraudiences. Ministers, newspapereditors and reporters, leilders of business, labor, and governmental organizations, indeed, almost any person who hasbeen seriously6fiengaged in thinking about the American past as it'relates to present problems can contribute muchto suchprograms. Librarians, organizers ofGreat Books and other discussion programs, school and college directorsof adulteducation programs, and program chairmen for social and civic groupsare often familiar with the range of talented persons available in .a community for stth,programs. These experienced local program organizers should beconsultedand directlyinvolved in the planningof programs for the American Issues Forum.

2. Physical Resources: In most communities this will be the easiest of theproblems for programplanners. Small group discussion programs can, ofcourse,meet in privatehomes. Schools, churches, some civic and social organizations, libraries, lodges, union halls, municipal facilities, and many bankshavemeeting rooms freely available or available at token (- cost toprograms such as the American IssuesForum. Your local,Chamber 4110 of Commerc6 orlibrarian willundoubtedlyhave lists of such available meeting rooms which they will be glad to share, with you.

IV-3 002 3. Financial Resources: Formost of the programformats suggested in the preceding sectionsirelatively little money will be needed. Major expenditure's 'wouldbeentailed .only if anambitious. program of speakers fromoutside' the. community -is ',planned. It has beenthe ..exeerience of those who have -planned American IssuesForum programs that,mat speakers from withinthe community can be attracted on this special occasion to share, their views about American society at no cost to the program planners, or_for'' very..modesthon&raria. The published materials being daVeloped in support of American, Issues Forum programs,are'avaiIable either at.little or 'cost. The . publication of localinformational literature describing the -schedule'of- prograMs would obviously entail costs, but simple leaflets can.be produced. by mostorganizations atvery modest. expenditures and your local newspaper, radio, and television atation willoftenpublishor make public service announcements freeifyou provide them with he information far enough in advance of the scheduled event. The following subsection deals with how to go about doing so.

PROMOTION OF PARTICIPATION IN PROGRAMS

Every _AmericanIsSues Forum program requires a certain amount of promotional publicity to be most effective in attracting.-and keepingparticipants.

Happily,. this is reallynot a formidable task, Rather it's simply one: of listing thetypes ofaudiences you wish to reach, and then sending (or 'taking) informationabout your ForUm program to those agencies which can reach them.

One formin which yourinformation may be produced is usually termed a "pressrelease," or "news release." While the next sub-section of this LeadershipPacketgoes into some detail on just how to write one, a press release reallyis, in a nutshell, a fact sheet about who, what, where, when, and why in factual, straight language, A fact sheet in "newspaper style" would be one way to say it.

Newspapers (weeklyand daily), radio, and television stations are obvious choices for tellingthe story ofyour particular Forumprogram to the 'generalpublic--and the "how-to" hints below aregearedto such public media, but are adaptable to every other publicity outlet.

Other outlets which maybe donsideredareneighborhood shopping papers, house organs ofbusiness, industry, and non-commercialventures; trade journals of a specificbusiness or industry; and informational bulletins of chambers of commerce, business, civic, and social. organizations.

'Many organizations--particularly in smaller communities- -use a "news letter," which is type-writtenas anoversize, impersonal letter. These arg often mimeographed, or otherwise inexpensively printed.

Other outlets or means for promotion arebulletin boards, such as the community boardsat supermarket's and shortng centers, town halls, community centers, barber shops, etc.

IV-4 n0041-Z14004'; "Envelope stillfera" are also a possibilit Theseare the brief printed informal memos sometimes enclosed with atementsfrom banksorother businesses. Some companies, if arrangements are made well in advance--and particularlyany involved with a'Forum program or sponsorship--might consider such an enclosure with mailings. /

Such enclosures--a d poster-type announcementsusuallyrequire neatly printed literature. Many 1"quick copy" printeriesarenow available to print "camera- ready" copy, Thap is, whatever One brings in will be reproduced exactly in quantity with np type-settifig by the printer,-Cost is modest and perhapsa sponsor or supporter of your All program mightpay such small charges. There 'is alwaysthpossibility someone in your.organization Is-artistic and would hand-letter s 11 posters for strategic locations, if asked.

Local libr ries oftenhaveareas foi posters, literature, and should be informed'a out your plans,

These are among themore obviousoutlets whichcan beuseful in the promotion of your local Forum ,pros. You can probably think of others in your locale of a similar nature. .

One last reminder;when you ask for assistance, in anyof these areas of promotion,.liesure and invite the company or organization to participate inyourForums; and ,when your°'programs are under;way, dropthem a thank. you note for their cooperation.

REPORTING FOeWK

News and informationabout yourgroup'sAmerican IssuesForum programs should. be of interest to your local newspapers, radio, and'television outlets.

This is a very brief outline of how to write and place stories about your organization's.Forum programs.

The local newspaperin your area is a prime vehicle to carry such news. There may be more than one paper, or newspapers, in nearby communities whichcirculate > the area. Thereare local radio stations which have. broad area coverage. Television stations operate in metropolitanareas with the same interests as newspapers and radio.

The reporter foryour Forum program willwant to get the best exposure possiblefor theprogram's participants and sponsor. The media will welcome such news, but itmust be presented in a form that is either a news story in itself, or in a fact sli4et thatcan be used by the newspaper (or radio station) to write afactual story.

While the Forum All be of great interest to you and your co-participants, its activities are just one of many local news stories your own newspaper willbeconcerned :with. Every editormust, dailyor weekly as the case may be, select the onost important orofmost interest to his readers. While it may be hoped that the paper will be .able to send,d-reporter toForumprograms, most papers (and radio stations) are understaffed and overworked. So it's essential to provide the editor:. with the facts.

The mechanics are easy, simple, and common sense. Phone your editor for an appointment. When you talk to himi at a time of his cpnvenience, explain the AIFasbriefly' and logically as possible, with particular emphasis on your local group's paiticipation as a community effort.

Be frankand explain you're not anexperienced writer (unless you are), ' but thatyou willprovide the facts' in concise notes if he would like that.

And whenever you writeanything for any mediado it on the typewriter, on plain white paper, double-spaced, and on one side of,tSsheet only.

, Explain to the editor whythe. Forum is impo4tantfor the coMmunity and that it is a naional Bicentennial program for all the people.

If you are asked to writethe stories, follow the plan of.the "fisre W's"--who, what, where, when,why--in,.all stories. If youcan do it in the opening (lead) paragraph, so much the better. Example:

John Jones,managerof theOurtown Chamber of Commerce, announced Tuesdey the Chamber will sponsor weeklyTown Hall programs relating to .the l'kmerictba Issues Forum, as .part of the town's Bicentennial .efforts.The me6tingswill be held inthe Town Hall every Thursday .at 7 ktarting September 3.

'Subsequent par hs would give additional details and particulars.

Whether you furnish the media w,ith deiiled notes or a complete story, observe some simple rules, such as: complete namesafirst, middle initial, last--spelledcorrectly, .Plus addresses, titles or occupations as deeMed -necessay.

Yourinformation shouldbe accurate and informative. Tell what happened in programs that have takenplace, how others may participate in future programs, and who to contact (with a names address, and phone number).

Observe the newspaper's or radio station's deadline andbe sure your information is delivered ahead of time.

Astory may be carriedbefore .a program - -with details on the anticipated agenda--andanother about"whathappened" at the Forum. Thi one will requiremore time to brieflytell the highlights in an interes manner (again with names as needed).

Such stories should hingeon the discussionof good ideas for America's future. Keep the facts straight, don't use colorful adjectives needlessly, nor four-syllable words where short words will be better. Do not hesitate to ask the editor for suggestions; him job is to report the news ofhis community. If he knowsyou are trying to help him and his paper, he'll take the time and effort to helpyou.

COORDINATION OF LOCAL PROGRAM COMMITTEES

In somecommunities there willbea numberofadult groups: planning American Issues Forum and other Bicentennial Programs.

To attract participants and make the most effective use special materials, speakers, and films, it prObably would be helpful to have a "clearinghouse" or "community calendar" in each such town. The local public libraryor Adult. Education Council or the Bicentennial committee (in those locales which have organizedas formal Bicentennial Communities) would -be a logical central agencyfor coordinating the'activities of the various groups. Perhaps .a volunteft (a member of "Friends of the Library" for example), could become the BicentennialCommunity pOordinator for the Bicentennial period. A civic club could also undertake this role.

The goals okthis coordinating effort would be:

To facilitate the use of speakers (for example)who may come to talk to one groupbutwho would be willing to address other groups

- during his/her stay in the area;

To avoid conflicting meetings which would take audiencesaway from each group; A

To "brainstorm" programideaswith program chairmen of various local Clubs and organizations;

To share 4ideas among groups;

To keep a s hedule of events in a central location;

To make a listin ofavailable rooms (halls, restaurants.etc.) where meetings could be he de (Such a list should show size of theroom, rental cost, andspecial features; electrical outlets, kitchen facilities' availability of proj ctor/screen, etc.);

To contact schools churches, and service clubs toestab4sh availa- bilityof such 'items as movie projectors (8mm and 16mm), Eape decks, screens, overhead projectors, etc. A community list of "what-is-where" andaccessibility, cost of rental, and advance-notbp)time for obtaining such items would be an invaluable aid to program planners;

To act as a "'Jason" . to put sponsoringgroups in ouch with each other.

( IV-7 The coordinating may bebroken downinto using one volunteer coordinator todetermine lists of personnel, and others to work.on rooms, and equipment. Your local newspapers, radio, and television stations may assist by announcing a central location of the "Clearinghouse for AIF or*General Bicentennial Activities,"
