Clinton Requests Increased Funding for Fulbright Program in FY 2001

The final budget of President Cl in ton 's administration requests funding of $225 million for educational and cultural exchange programs in Fiscal Year 2001. Funding for the Fulbright Program for Students , Scholars , and Teachers is set at $116.3 million , with the Hubert H. Humphrey Fellowship Program, authorized under Fulbright legislation , receiving a request of $8.3 million.

These figures represent an increase over the administration's FY 2000 budget request , which included $105.9 million for the Fulbright Program and $6.11 million for the Humphrey Program.

The budget narrative states that the request will "enhance funding for the Fulbright program , as recommended by the report of a bipartisan Steering Committee to the President and the Senate Foreign Relations Committee ." The independent steering committee, convened by the National Humanities Center for the 50th anniversary of the Fulbright Program, recommended a restoration of funding to $125 million annually. Since FY 1996, the Fulbright Program has seen incremental increases in funding , but still remains at 75 percent of its 1995 funding level.

Profile

Arlene Weiss Alda By Jane L. And erson

Editor 's Note: Fulbright Association Executive Director Jane L. Anderson visited Fulbright alumna Arlene Alda in her New York City offi ce in Februmy. A noted author, phot ograph er, and musician, Ms. Alda is also an early life member and long -standing supporter of the Fulbright Association.

In a life rich in learning, achievement , and recognition , Arlene Aida's Fulbright experience still stands out. In 1954, as a Phi Beta Kappa graduate of Hunter College , the then Arlene Weiss received a Fulbright award to study clarinet in Germany at the Cologne Conservatory of Music .

"I was born and brought up in the Bronx. I went to school in Manhattan . I never went away to camp. I never traveled much," Ms. Alda said. "So my Fulbright was an extraordinary experience. Not only was I going away from home , but I was also going on this unbelievable adventure of learning ."

That she could "saturate" herself with music in a conservatory setting and in a new culture with a different language was, Ms. Alda observed , a "treat beyond description ." And at the age of 22, it was all "eye-opening."

"The war had only been over for nine years ," Ms. Alda said. "What the Germans had done in that war was so much on my mind as both an American and a Jew that I went to Germany with a lot of anger in my heart. And it was broken down by the fact that I met some terrific

people there, including a landlady whose room I rented, the wonderful musicians I met at the school, and the German Fulbright liaisons . I had to re-evaluate my own prejudices and rethink what the world really was ."

The Fulbright process of learning to understand and empathize with others while clearly focusing on the meanings of one's own nationality is even more important today as local and regional conflicts break out around the world , according to Ms. Alda.

CALIFORNIA

San Diego State University (SDSU) has signed an agreement establishing an exchange program with the University of Havana, Cuba's largest university. The historic agreement is the first to allow students from a U.S. university to spend up to a full year studying Cuban culture, language, and business practices by attending regular classes at a Cuban university. Since a 1995 agreement allowed exchange programs between the two countries, several U.S . universities have sent students to Cuba for short exchanges lasting no more than a few weeks.

Participating SDSU students must speak Spanish. They will be housed in university dorms or private homes. The first SDSU students traveled to Cuba this spring, and as many as 30 will follow in the fall, when Cuban students are also expected to arrive in San Diego.

University President Stephen L. Weber called the agreement "gratifying, because relations between the United States and Cuba have been virtually non-existent for 40 years. We hope that education, which is really about sharing ideas, can be a bridge to enhanced understanding and cooperation between our two countries."

"The Fulbright Association is the only organization dedicated to advocating for Fulbright exchanges and to serving current Fulbrighters through alumni action," said Ronald J. Ross , M.D ., chairman of the Fund for the 21 st Century Committee and immediate past president of the Association. "The Association unites Fulbrighters as a single voice speaking for necessary funding and favorable policies for the Fulbright Program."

"To reach our goal of $2,000,000 we need the help of all Fulbright alumni and friends," Dr. Ross stressed. "This endowment campaign will allow the Association to achieve its goals on behalf of the Fulbright Program and to maintain the fiscal stability necessary to support future work."

Frederick G. Acker, president of the Association, said that as an organization with a 23-year history , the Fulbright Association needs an endowment to provide a firm foundation for its programs into the next century and beyond. Mr. Acker chaired the campaign drive last year.

Income from the endowment will be used to support the Fulbright Association's work on behalf of Fulbright exchanges and its services to current Fulbrighters and Fulbright alumni. Programs include advocacy , education, and enrichment activities organized by the Association's 35 chapters throughout the country.

Within the Fund for the 21st

Century, contributions have been

designated for the Fulbright Prize and to endow the work of specific chapters. In addition, a major gift from Dr. Selma Jeanne Cohen established the Selma Jeanne Cohen Fund for International Scholarship on Dance.

The Cohen Fund endows an annual lecture on dance scholarship to be delivered at the Association's national conference. The recipient is chosen through a merit-based, competitive process directed by Dr. Cohen. The first winner of the award will present his or her lecture at the 23rd annual conference in Fall 2000.

"We are grateful to the many individuals and organizations who have supported the Fund for the 21st

Century. We especially appreciate the committed volunteers who are leading the campaign effort and taking on the many tasks necessary to make such a drive a success ," said Jane L. Anderson , executive director of the Association.

Fenton-May, vice chairman for corporate giving; Patti Rosenfeld, vice chairman for Friends of Fulbright; Howard P. Calhoun; Pamela A Cook ; Charles H. Harff; Jay Khim; Richard 0.

The balance is from gifts received in response to the membership mailing after last fall's campaign announcement. Fund for the 21 st Century donors through Feb. 28 are listed on pages 10 and 11.

"If you have been thinking about making a gift of cash or securities or a planned gift to support the Fund for the 21 st

"I'm struck now with the extreme nationalism that has sprung up all over the world. There is a good side to nationalism. One should know what one's roots are. And there's a very bad side to nationalism which has expressed itself lately in the fonn of ethnic wars in the former Yugoslavia, in some African nations, and now with Russia and Chechnya," Ms. Alda said. "It seems to me the more that we have international exchanges, the better the chance we have to know that you and I and the next door neighbor and the person in the next country are all alike and that we all deserve to live in peace. I really feel that each opportunity that one has to offer in cross-cultural communication and education is a very important opportunity."

For Arlene Alda as well as for thousands of other outstanding participants throughout the years, the Fulbright award also spelled opportunity on a more basic level. Lacking her own means to support study in the country that originated the classic literature for clarinet, Ms. Alda stressed the importance of having the opportunity to compete for a Fulbright scholarship to fund her work in Germany.

"At the time that I went, money was very scarce . And to have your way paid not only to get to where you were going but also to educate you once you were there was an extraordinary thing for someone who didn't have the resources! It was truly a scholarship," she said.

Ms. Alda returned to the United States with her desire to become a professional musician confinned. She noted that because she had gained both training and experience through her Fulbright grant, she saw paths that would not have even occurred to her before.

After participating in the

National Orchestra Association in New York, a training program for young musicians conducted by Leon Barzin, she auditioned for Leopold Stokowski, conductor of the Houston Symphony Orchestra. She became assistant first clarinet

and bass clarinet. After marrying actor Alan Alda

and having three daughters, she taught music in junior high school, formed and concertized with the Leonia Chamber Players, and played first clarinet with the Ridgefield (Conn.) Orchestra. While her children were young, she discovered photography. Since 1980 she has combined that talent with an exceptional ability to write for young children. She is the author of eight children's books, many of which are illustrated with her photographs.

Her most recent book, published last year, is Hurry Granny Annie. Among her other titles are Pig, Horse or Cow, Don't Wake Me Now and Sheep, Sheep, Sheep, Help Me Fall Asleep, which spent 13 weeks on the Publisher's Weekly Best Seller List for

Children in 1993. Ar lene Alda 's J 2 3, published in 1998, won an American Library Association Notable Book Award in 1999.

"I guess I clearly have the voices of four-, five-, and six-year olds in my head," Ms. Alda noted

with amusement Ms. Aida's photos and

essays have appeared in The New York Times and other newspapers and in many magazines, including Life, People, Vogue, and the Saturday Evening Post. In 1988 her award-winning documentary "Bravo Gloria" was shown nationally on PBS.

Ms. Alda noted that her awareness of Senator Fulbright's vision for international exchanges has become more mature over the years. In a precarious world, she sees the need to create bridges that people can cross over to exchange ideas and knowledge and to create forums for peace .

"Whe n scholars and teachers go abroad, come back with their skills and bring their learning to

bear on their work in the United States, you're going to have a broader base of international understanding and a broader base for imparting knowledge," Ms. Alda said.

Conversely when people come to the United States from other countries on a Fulbright grant, they gain ideas not only pertinent to their fields but also to developing their societies.

With her characteristic enthusiasm for young people, Ms. Alda, who has seven grandchildren, urged students to look into the Fulbright Program .

"It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity," she said. "The Fulbright grant literally changed my life. It was something I couldn't imagine, and I will always be grateful for it." •

president's budget, Congress passed a budget resolution reflecting its own spending targets and priorities. The congressional budget resolution calls for a total of $289 billion for non-defense discretionary domestic spending, approximately $30 billion less than the president's budget request.

With the budget resolution passed, the appropriations process begins. Because this is an election year, the legislative calendar will likely be shorter than usual, with members hoping to adjourn on Oct. 6.

Thank you to the many Fulbright alumni and friends who wrote to the president requesting increased funding for Fulbright and other exchange programs in FY 2001. Now is a critical time to write to key appropriators to secure adequate funding for the Fulbright Program .

Fulbright Alumni Initiatives Awards Program

The Council for International Exchange of Scholars (CIES) is inviting recent participants in the Fulbright Scholar Program to apply for grants under the new Fulbright Alumni Initiatives Award Program, designed to help scholars sustain contacts made while they were overseas.

Current and former U.S. faculty members and professionals who received CIES-administered Fulbright grants from 1990 to the present are eligible to apply. CIES anticipates that 10 to 20 awards of $1,000 to $20,000 each will be available in the first year of the program.

Proposals should demonstrate evidence of commitment on the part of the scholar's home institution to support the proposed project. A key selection criterion is the long-term sustainability of the project. The deadline for the first round of competition is June 1, 2000. For more information, contact Micaela lovine, senior program officer (miovine@cies.iie.org, tel. 202-686-6253) or visit the CIES web site at www.iie.org /cies.
