Dear

Mr.

Manoogian:

April 25, 1986

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

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.
