235 / NATIONAL SEM INAR ON FUTURE DIRECTIONS FOR THE PEACE CORPS

Dear Mr. Manoogian:

We are sending this letter as a request for support for our National Seminar on Future Directions for the Peace Corps. We feel that this project fits very well with your stated purpose.

As you may be aware, in the twenty-five year period since its beginning, the Peace Corps has had a wide-ranging impact on development in third world countries. The Peace Corps has been a corps of dedicated and committed individuals whose efforts have been directed to fostering peace and understanding among diverse cultures and peoples. The more than 120,000 returned Peace Corps volunteers are now back home serving in a multitutde of ways. Because of their rich experiences, they represent an incomparable resource of knowledge and abilities that could not have been obtained through any other process. As they moved into senior positions of responsibility in business, industry, banking, education, and government, they have wielded an ever-increasing influence on all aspects of policy in both the public and private sectors.

The time has come to evaluate the successes, identify the areas needing improvement, and determine the directions the Peace Corps should take in the next 25 years. The Seminar is being organized by the Citizens Committee on Future Directions for the Peace Corps, the International Development Conference, and Colorado State University. The Peace Corps is cooperating in extensively publicizing the event, and in providing panelists, speakers, and backround materials. Loret Miller Ruppe, Peace Corps Director, will deliver the keynote address. The National Council of Returned Peace Corps Volunteers and many local RPCV groups will also make important contributions to the Seminar program. Enclosed is an invitational brochure describing the Seminar, as well as a copy of the current draft program.

The Seminar is open to all who wish to participate and is expected to draw 300 to 400 participants, many of them former Peace Corps volunteers and staff, but including also scholars, practitioners, and students interested in international development, intercultural relations, global studies, and related fields; government policymakers; leaders in private sector development activities; and representatives of the media. A special effort is being made to assure representation from the developing countries. Each day of the Seminar will be devoted to one of the three mandates of the Peace Corps.

In order to meet the expenses of the Seminar and to supplement the Mr. Alex Manoogian April 25, 1986 Page 2 seminar fees to be paid by the participants, we need to obtain $80,000 from foundations, business organizations, and interested individuals. Towards this goal we hope that the Manoogian Foundation will be able to contribute $10,000 to this very important activity. The Citizens Committee is a non-profit educational organization recognized under Section 501(c)(3) by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service.

If you need any additional information, I will be happy to provide it.

Sincerely yours, Jl/~d~. Maurice L. Albertson Fundraising Chairman
