During the same week the 25th Anniversary "National Seminar on Future Directions for the Peace Coros" was also conducted at the university. AUSUDIAP arranged for Dr. Robert Havener, President of Winrock International, to speak at a joint session .f both groups on the topic "Development Assistance: Yesterdy, Today and Tomorrow." Likewise, participants in both meetings shared a plenary session on "The Peace Corps - A Realistic Vision," addressed by Loret M. Ruppe, Director of the Peace Corps. Both papers ire included in the proceedings. Also appearing in the publication, in addition to the 25 papers and reports, are the following: a draft copy of the minutes of the 1986 annual meeting, including the resolutions; the names and addresses of the conference participants; a copy of the general and spouses' programs; the AUSUDIAP committees; and a brochure on the 1986 Distinguished Service Award Recipients. The planning and execution of the conference were the combined efforts of the Offices of Conference Services under Gwynne Hallock, Coordinator, and International Agricultural Programs under James Oxley, Director. Assistance and suggestions were provided by Howard Massey, AUSUDIAP Chairman, Donald Isleib, Program Chairman and Tom McCowan, Secretary-Treasurer. Helen Oxley, Eleanor Thomas, Allene Niehaus and Van Lynck arranged the spouses' program. iv STATE OF THE ASSOCIATION P. Howard Massey, Jr., Chairperson AUSUDIAP Virginia Tech Your association has had a productive year during a period of increasing financial stress for the U. S. Government. The eleven committees and special task force achieved their major goals and objectives. The Executive Board functioned effectively and efficiently by interacting in a positive manner and assisted the committee members in accomplishing their work. A few highlights of the year are cited at this time to provide an overview of our progess. A more comprehensive report will be given at the business meeting. 1) The Education & Training Committee has completed the preparation of the manuscript for the manual entitled "A Guide to Inter-University Cooperation in Participant Training Programs." This important manual will be printed and mailed to you in September. 2) The Public Awareness Committee has worked diligently to finalize a much needed AUSUDIAP publication which should help with constituency building. I cannot overemphasize the importance of all of us being aware of the need for constituency building. It is so essential to the development and maintenance of international development assistance capabilities in U.S. Universites and to foreign assistance initiatives of the U.S. Government. This bulletin of rhe Public Awareness Committee will be printed and distributed within the next three months and should be extremely useful to all our efforts. 3) The Legislative Committee has coordinated its work closely with that of the excellent staff of the NASULGC's International Office to articulate the advantages of utilizing U.S. Universities and research organizations to address the development needs of Third World Nations. The Legislative Committee has provided speakers for Congressional hearings this spring and prepared and distributed appropriate budget briefing materials to all AUSUDIAP members for their use in work with Congressional representatives. The vast reservoir of expertise at our institutions provides a unique resource for development work abroad. 4) The Communications Committee (ACE/AUSUDIAP) has printed and distributed copies of a special workshop proceedings. The workshop (Feb. 12-14, 1985) was designed to develop closer working relationships between ACE and AUSUDIAP members in technical assistance projects and to strengthen international programs of U.S. Universities. The workshop was very successful as the first step, and the Communications Committee has worked throughout this year to plan an appropriate second-step workshop for next year. 5) The Awards Committee has reviewed credentials of a number of candidates and selected three outstanding recipients to receive the 1986 Distinguished Service Awards. These awards will be presented at the Conference banquet. 6) The Special Task Force -- Title XII Agenda For the Next Decade Dr. E. T. York, Chairman, Board for International Food and Agricultural Development, during his remarks at the Association's 1985 annual meeting, requested that the Association provide the BIFAD with its perception of those issues which ought to be on the BIFAD's agenda for the next decade. In response to this request, as Chairman of AUSUDIAP, I appointed a task force to prepare such a statement. The program committee for the Annual Meeting of the National Association of State
