SUBJECT: THE PEOPLE-TO-PEOPLE - - PROGRAM DILEMMA
As Of March 18, 1958
HOW WE GOT THIS WAY
1. . - Lack of recognition of other important People-to-People activities
when the program was launched, which caused omission of outstanding
leaders in the field, particularly the major foundations, the Institute
of International Education and similar active organizations, resulting
in hostility and lack of support in places where it was most needed.
2. - Failure to provide adequate financing for the Committees before the
program was announced.
a) Committee Chairmen were generally under the impression that
they would not be expected to raise funds personally for their
individual committees, hence their discussion to establish the
Foundation as their correlating agency.
b) At their meeting of June 21st, 1957, Trustees rejected Mr.
Larson's proposal that each Committee Chairman raise his own
funds, with the Foundation responsible solely for its own budget.
3. - Failure to provide financing before Foundation was organized and
publicized.
a) It is clear that none of the major foundations were sounded out in
advance of public announcements.
b) Same as regards big corporations and wealthy individuals.
