FORD FOUNDATION
The Ford Foundation is a resource for innovative people and institutions worldwide. Our goals are
to:
Strengthen democratic values,

Reduce poverty and injustice,
Promote international cooperation and
Advance human achievement
This has been our purpose for more than half a century.
A fundamental challenge facing every society is to create political, economic and social systems
that promote peace, human welfare and the sustainability of the environment on which life
depends. We believe that the best way to meet this challenge is to encourage initiatives by those
living and working closest to where problems are located; to promote collaboration among the
nonprofit, government and business sectors, and to ensure participation by men and women from
diverse communities and at all levels of society. In our experience, such activities help build
common understanding, enhance excellence, enable people to improve their lives and reinforce
their commitment to society.
The Ford Foundation is one source of support for these activities. We work mainly by making
grants or loans that build knowledge and strengthen organizations and networks. Since our
financial resources are modest in comparison to societal needs, we focus on a limited number of
problem areas and program strategies within our broad goals.
Founded in 1936, the Foundation operated as a local philanthropy in the state of Michigan until
1950, when it expanded to become a national and inter-national foundation. Since its inception it
has been an independent, nonprofit, nongovernmental organization. It has provided slightly more
than $10 billion in grants and loans. These funds derive from an investment portfolio that began
with gifts and bequests of Ford Motor Company stock by Henry and Edsel Ford. The Foundation
no longer owns Ford Motor Company stock, and its diversified portfolio is managed to provide a
perpetual source of support for the Foundation's programs and operations.
The Trustees of the Foundation set policy and delegate authority to the president and senior staff
for the Foundation's grant making and operations. Program officers in the United States, Africa,
the Middle East, Asia, Latin America and Russia explore opportunities to pursue the Foundation's
goals, formulate strategies and recommend proposals for funding.
In 2001 the Ford Foundation and the Institute for International Education (I.I.E.) launched the
largest single initiative in the foundation's history-the Ford Foundation International Fellowships
Program (I.F.P.). This 10-year, $330 million program has two parts. Through the International
Fellowships Fund (I.F.F.), a new entity established by Ford and I.I.E., the program will provide
approximately 3,500 graduate fellowships for disadvantaged individuals with academic promise
and proven leadership capacity, for study anywhere in the world for up to three years. Ford will
also make complementary grants to strengthen overseas undergraduate institutions' ability to
recruit and prepare traditionally excluded groups for opportunities of this sort.
The I.F.P. responds to the world's need for new generations of outstanding leaders with direct
knowledge of some of their societies' worst problems and inequities, and a sense of moral
urgency about them. Such leaders will need more than talent, good ideas and determination,
crucial as these qualities are. Many will also need the analytic skills, social networks and knowhow that can come from advanced professional or interdisciplinary education, and from the
diversity of thought and experience now found on many of the world's university campuses.
Because the I.F.P. uses a variety of innovative recruitment and selec-tion procedures to reach its
target groups, and because fellowships can be such a crucial strategy for personal and national
development, I want to describe what the I.F.P.'s first year has involved.
The program seeks academically talented men and women who would not normally have the
opportunity for graduate study, whether because of geographic isolation, family poverty or
discrimination based on gender, ethnicity, physical disability or other factors. The I.F.P.'s dual
focus on talent and social exclusion, combined with the freedom to study anywhere in the world,
was noted by experts in each country as nearly unique and challenging to implement. A
decentralized operation and partnerships with experienced regional, national and international
organizations have been key to addressing the challenges. In each location, three organizations
combined forces to make the program work as intended: the I.F.F., its local partner organization,
and a local Ford Foundation office.
Outreach and selection processes combined knowledge of best practices as well as new
techniques designed to find hidden talent. In Vietnam, for example, nominators sought out
women and ethnic minority people known to be good students and social innovators, particularly
those involved in rural economic and social development. Each person who requested
information was counseled about the application and selection process. This was particularly
important for some of the most socially isolated applicants who initially believed they had little to
say about themselves and had seldom been asked what they wanted to study and do with their
lives. Counseling also helped overcome worries about moving ahead of family and friends or
gaining government approval for study overseas. This unusual investment in all applicants helped
level the playing field for a very rigorous selection process. An international five-member selection
committee reviewed the final applications, examining interview notes from the semifinal rounds.
They looked for evidence that the applicants had overcome barriers to higher education, showed
significant social commitment and linked their study plans to community improve-ment work after
the fellowship.
In Mexico and Guatemala, partner organizations familiar with indigenous communities made
repeated visits to indigenous areas, encouraging promising candidates to apply. In Nigeria,
Senegal and Ghana, NGOs and news media announcements helped reach women, ethnic
minority communities and members of poor families, espec-ially those in rural areas. Beyond
academic ability, final selection emphasized leadership potential as reflected in successful
commu-nity service. In Chile and Peru, selectors looked for academic talent in "persons affected
by social exclusion" such as poverty, residence in remote provinces and education in public
schools and univer-sities rather than the more prestigious private institutions. They focused on
performance in the last two years of the normal baccalaureate program, recognizing that talented
students often overcome early academic problems with hard work, good instruction and
mentoring.
In India, announcements in 15 major-language publications, English-language dailies and the
Internet were supplemented by sending recruiters to rural areas to describe the program and by
mailing more than 1,000 letters to remote regional nominators. Selection emphasized academic
talent and social exclusion as assessed by factors such as the type of schooling (language of
instruction, rural, etc.), parental occupation and education, caste, gender and disability. A member
of the national selection panel met with each finalist for an informal chat over tea or coffee before
the interview, trying to set the applicant at ease and provide a familiar face at the interview table.
Candidates were encouraged to express themselves in the language of their choice with
translation provided as necessary. In China, by contrast, within a similar broad outreach a
fundamental selection criterion was a basic level of proficiency in English, now necessary for
admission into high-quality Chinese as well as many foreign universities.
Insert PDF of International Fellowships Profile page In every location, several rounds of screening
and oversight by academics and practitioners ensured a careful and transparent selection
process. Nonetheless, final selection was often difficult for panels accustomed to awarding
fellowships exclusively on the basis of academic performance. Panelists worked hard to find the
right balance between academic and leadership potential and to define social exclusion.
Selection processes will continue to be refined as the program evolves and as the advisers gain
experience with the complexity and subjectivity of a culturally sensitive approach.
Once selected, I.F.P. fellows unfamiliar with academic study options are offered advice on
graduate schools and assisted with application routines. Not surprisingly, second-language skills
have influenced options for graduate placement. Some foreign-language instruction is available
for the fellows, as is training in computer and research skills, and all will take part in networking
activities designed to provide personal support and a powerful sense of belonging to an
international leadership cohort. All are eligible for modest funds to expand professional horizons
while studying, see family members and later resume work in their countries upon completion of
study. A common data collection system follows the fellowship recipients during and after the
program, providing the basis for evaluation of the I.F.P. and research on international higher
education.
The results of the I.F.P.'s initial phase vindicate its ambitions. The attri-butes of its first cohort are
shown on the opposite page. Notably: 56 percent are female, 76 percent were recruited from
outside major cities and 50 percent are members of ethnic minority groups. Without question,
I.F.P. has tapped into a reservoir of talented people who would otherwise have very limited
chances for advanced study. In fact, it is painfully clear that many more of the finalists than the
I.F.P. could fund were fully qualified-a powerful reminder that if education is to be a catalyst for
development, societies must find ways to reach more of this deep but hidden talent pool. I hope
the I.F.P. can begin to generate a broad discussion about that possibility and how to pursue it. As
the program matures, it may also offer other donors a way to invest in these populations.
I have met with many I.F.P. fellows, a few of whom are presented in the next pages. I am
impressed with their ambitions and abilities, the extraordinary obstacles many have overcome,
and their determi-nation to seize this opportunity to help build just and fair societies. The I.F.P.
experience to date suggests that such people abound in marginalized communities.
Mara Flix Quezada, a member of the Hahu ethnic group, grew up in a rural community in the
Hidalgo region of Mexico and became a teacher in a rural school in Ixmiquilpan. She plans to
study population and demography in Mexico, and has a special interest in migration issues and
the history of her rural community. Speaking at a gathering of Mexico's first I.F.P. fellows, she
said: "From the time you are born into an indigenous community society points a finger. Not
everybody does this, only those who still think and practice a dichotomy: superiority and inferiority
of races. To these people you represent the other, the Indian boy or girl, poverty, the illiterate. In
short, an obstacle for the development of the country.... They blame you for your backwardness,
your stubbornness to maintain and defend the resources of mother nature....
"I had many difficulties entering school. My parents did not have enough money to support my
studies, and they discouraged me from studying because I was the only girl of five children. I
financed my studies with scholarships, by working and with money from my migrant brothers....
"There was a time when I decided to hide my indigenous roots to avoid aggression... However, I
realized that it was a mistake to adopt a different personality... it did not feel good to reject what
characterized me as a human being and an Indian.... I later retook my identity and proclaimed it
with pride.... I am proud to be the first woman in my community to graduate from a university.
"When the community learned I was studying, I was excluded from work in the fields because
people thought that this was no longer appropriate for a student. They thought I had forgotten
how to harvest corn, cut vegetables, etc. They assumed that I did not want to know anything
about our traditions. Little by little, I convinced them that they were wrong, that despite my
acquired knowledge I still was an indigenous woman and that my training always included my
community, my ethnic group and my region.
"Unfortunately, there are few of us who enter the academic world; it is not an easy task. This
struggle is not some kind of natural selection. Those of us who are already in the academic world
are not better or stronger than the rest of our indigenous brothers. In fact, they are the principal
motivation of this constant search for academic knowledge. What we accomplish is through them
and for them."
Ilja Viktorov from Yekaterinburg, Russia, grew up in a low-income, single parent family and
started his higher education at Irkutsk State University in Eastern Siberia and graduated from
Urals State University. With I.F.P. support, he is working for a Ph.D. in economic history at
Stockholm University. He writes: "As for my passion for Sweden, it is hard to understand why it
attracted me... Perhaps it was Astrid Lindgren's fairy-tales... The land seemed to be romantic and
somewhat mysterious... I decided to study Sweden's history from the very beginning of my
undergraduate studies.... I realized that it should not only be interesting to me but also useful to
others.... I believe that some forms of economic democracy can be practiced in Russian firms....
The main thing, however, that fascinates me in the Swedish experience is that the Swedes have
managed to create a comprehensive social state and preserve an effective market economy.
"I plan to organize a Swedish centre in a newly created Faculty of International Relations at the
Urals State University.... The interest in Sweden among Russians is enormous, although the
majority of the population sees the Swedish experience as rather unrealistic.... What I have
learned during my studies of Sweden, and especially after these months in the country, is that
one can understand best one's own country only when one tries to understand another culture
and look at the world from another point of view."
Vo Thi Hoang Yen, Vice President of the Youth Association for the Disabled in Vietnam, wrote in
her application: "I am the youngest of the family of five children who lived in a remote village
where people earned a living by working in small rice fields and raising poultry. Almost all children
dropped out of school early. Basic health services were insufficient. By my third birthday, polio
had taken away my first walking steps." Later, she was asked how she overcame so many
challenges, and she replied, "I often had a feeling that I had been struggling in the violent current
to get onto some peaceful bank but had always been whirled away by fierce waves. What kept
me from sink-ing into the bottom of depression? It is love and unhappiness.
"It is my Mom's unconditioned love for her children. It is her life of sacrifice for our education. It is
her unending worry for her youngest child, the vulnerable one with disability. It is the love and
support from my sisters who, not influenced by the common perception of our society, strongly
believed that their youngest sister is not without capability.
"It is the memories of the childhood full of unhappiness: fire, bombs, war, deaths and hunger; the
ash pile of our house. It is the image of my mom saving up each rare seed of rice during years of
poor harvest to help her children get on with study. It is the so-called miserable destiny of the
countryside women. It is the suffering of the families with five or six children with disabilities due
to agent orange or the lack of vaccines.
"Yes, it is love that encourages me to overcome all the difficulties and to live a meaningful life. It is
unhappiness that helps increase my understanding and open my heart to the disadvantaged.
Love and unhappiness nurture in me the aspiration to work for the unlucky, to assist them to build
a better life....
"I am studying Human Development at the University of Kansas, where I have found the close
relationship between professors and students and that the professors give students much
freedom and support to develop their ability. ....Other students in the research group have also
given me much assistance and encouragement.... The more I study, the more I feel interested."
Aaron Mushengyezi, from the Rufumbira ethnic group in Uganda, grew up in a remote rural area.
He walked great distances each day to attend grade school and ultimately gained admission to
Makerere University, where he was the first undergraduate student in 20 years to win a First
Class degree in Literature. At the university he attained the post of Lecturer while being involved
in children's literature and women writers' projects, an AIDS Operation Rescue Club and family
support services. He will use his I.F.P. fellowship to study for a doctorate in English and
Comparative Literature either in Great Britain or the United States.
He commented in his application: "Ugandans have been trauma-tized by the political turmoil the
country has gone through since independence... One of the legacies of this turmoil was the death
of a reading and writing culture in the country. It was not until the last decade that a 'renaissance'
has taken place, resulting in incredible literary production in works of fiction, theatre for
development and the media... Furthermore, following the launching of the Universal Primary
Education Program a few years ago, there is an insatiable demand for reading materials in the
schools. This is bound to grow with Universal Secondary Education in the next couple of years...
My proposed doctoral research will ... be the first of its kind to provide vital criticism of the works
of emerging Ugandan writers."
Time will tell how well these appealing, committed and talented people will do in graduate school
and in later leadership roles. On the basis of Ford's experience with past fellowships, it is fair to
predict that a significant number will emerge in their communities, in local, regional and national
organizations, and on a global stage. As they do, it will be in part because of their own motivation
and unique talents, but it will also reflect the creative efforts of the program's recruiters, selectors
and managers to locate hidden reservoirs of human potential and tap into them-affirmative action
at its best.
I expect many of the I.F.P. fellows, remembering what others have done for them, will urge that
every man, woman or child's dignity and potential to achieve be recognized. I particularly hope
they will speak about the values that gave them the courage to struggle against great odds and
how they acquired those values for themselves. Their stories can prompt each of us to recognize
the difficulties so many talented people face. My colleagues and I share the hope that the fellows
will bring closer to reality our shared vision of just and stable societies around the world.
On September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon brought
death, injury and hardship to thousands of people. Immediately after these attacks, the Ford
Foundation worked closely with people and organizations responding to the emergency, loaned
staff to the newly created September 11th Fund and made a total of $11.2 million in emergency
grants. A list of these projects is shown on page 25. Each check for these grants was
accompanied by a book of signatures of hundreds of Ford Foundation staff members in our 14
offices worldwide who wanted to express their personal support for the grantees in this difficult
time. In addition to the emergency grants, drawn from the foundation's reserve funds, grants
addressing longer-term issues and problems related to the September 11 events continue in
2002.
Frances Fergusson, President of Vassar College, retired from our board this year after a full 12
years of service. She brought to the foundation a deep understanding of scholarship and
educational reform, artistic sensibility and broad cultural interests, helping us to deepen our work
in these domains and to see the connections between them both in the United States and around
the globe. We will miss the wise counsel and range of experience that made her such a valuable
trustee and colleague.

Playboy Foundation
The National Gay and Lesbian Task Force is committed to building the progressive GLBT political
infrastructure in the U.S. Building the movement requires three major approaches: organizing,
advocacy and training.
Organizing grassroots advocates to build political strength and create strong coalitions is the goal
of our organizing work. Because states are now the center of gravity in our struggle for equality,
strengthening state and local organizing efforts will remain our single most important task during
the next three years. Since 1996, NGLTF has worked directly to strengthen and unite the
organizations working at the state level. The Task Force sponsored the founding of the Federation
of Statewide Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgendered Political Organizations and has provided
critical support to its success. The Federation serves as an important support network for state
organizers across the country. Often isolated and facing daunting battles in state legislatures,
organizers are able to call on each other and NGLTF for assistance in strategy and organizational
development. Activists beyond the GLBT political community are critical to the success of
movement building. We are committed to working with activists on campuses, in the civil rights,
religious and other allied communities.
NGLTF is committed to building a statewide organization in all 50 states. In 1999, we successfully
confronted the challenge of strengthening statewide organizing head on. With the Federation of
Statewide Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgendered Political Organizations, we launched a
national campaign called Equality Begins at Home. This campaign organized 350 rallies, political
and cultural events in all 50 state capitals plus the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico. To
facilitate the campaign, NGLTF awarded a $5,000 grant to every state and territory.
In 2000 and beyond, we will build on these efforts through organizing but also through the
complementary and necessary program components-advocacy and training. We will provide state
legislative expertise and a critical link to issues at the federal level for state activists. We will also
build the capacity of state and local organizations through our grassroots training program and
our intervention in key ballot initiative campaigns.
The faith-based initiative (S.1924) being considered in the U.S. Senate would allow religious
institutions to take our tax dollars and discriminate on the basis of religion in hiring and in the
provision of a wide array of social s ervices. Religious discrimination often functions as a proxy for
race and sexual orientation discrimination. This could mean that anti-gay churches could deny
gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender (GLBT) people jobs and services in a number of sectors,
including child care, adoption and foster c are services, services for people with disabilities, adult
education programs, anti-poverty programs, domestic violence prevention, juvenile justice, and
other social services.
NGLTF supports an amendment to S.1924 that would ban discrimination on the basis of religion.
Activists are also encouraged to call Senator Joseph Lieberman, the faith-based initiative's lead
sponsor and Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle. Urge them to support nondiscrimination
language similar to that found in Section 175 (c) of the National and Community Services Act of
1990, as amended by the National and Community Service trust Act of 1993. This provision
stipulates: " a project that receives assistance under this title shall not discriminate on the basis of
religion against a participant."
Take Action!
Call the Senate switchboard at 202-224-3121 to let your senators know how important this issue
is to you. Also call Senator Lieberman, the bill sponsor, at (202) 224-4041 and Senator Daschle at
(202) 224-2321. They need to hear from you!
Message
"I'm asking Senator ___ to amend S. 1924, faith-based initiatives, to ensure that it bans
discrimination on the basis of religion."
Background
Last summer the U.S. House of Representatives passed H.R. 7, the faith-based initiative which
would transfer billions in our tax dollars to religious institutions to provide a wide array of social
services. H.R.7 explicitly exempted faith-based service providers from laws banning religious
discrimination, and also exempted religious organizations receiving tax dollars to provide social
services from compliance with state and local GLBT rights laws. S.1924 removed this language,
and is silent on the issue of discrimination.
But the Bush Administration's Justice Department has indicated that it considers religious
employment discrimination acceptable and that it interprets federal law to allow faith-based
service providers funded with taxpayer dollars to discriminate on the basis of religion. A June 25,
2001 memo from the Deputy Assistant Attorney General Sheldon Bradshaw to Brett Kavanaugh,
Associate White House Counsel stated that "an FBO [faith-based organization] receiving direct
federal aid may make employment decisions on the basis of religion without running afoul of the
Establishment Clause, and that an FBO organized under section 501(c)(3) may invoke the title VII
exemption and staff on a religious basis." We have already seen in the case of the Kentucky
Baptist Homes for Children that "staffing on a religious basis" means no gay people need apply
when the religion receiving the funds is biased against GLBT people. A law that does not explicitly
prohibit religious discrimination in hiring could result in a great deal of racial discrimination as
well. As Dr. Martin Luther King observed, the hour of worship is one of the most segregated hours
in American society.
When taxes are collected from all citizens and are used for social programs like providing food for
the hungry, housing for low- and moderate-income people, and providing child care, fundamental
principles of fairness are violated if only members of certain religious groups are eligible for
employment in these programs. GLBT people and others who may be discriminated against
under the faith-based initiative are being asked to fund our own oppression!
Geroge W. Bush has publicly praised and called for the expansion of both the AmeriCorps and
SeniorCorps programs. These programs make volunteers and funds available to faith-based
charities within a legal framework that prohibits any religious discrimination in employment. These
programs demonstrate that a prohibition on religious employment discrimination is fully
compatible with federal assistance to faith-based charities.
It is critical to amend S.1924 to prohibits religious discrimination in employment.
Transgender Civil Rights Project

The Transgender Civil Rights Project works to increase the number of state, local and federal
laws that prohibit discrimination based on gender expression and identity. Prohibiting
discrimination based on "gender expression and identity" ensures that the entire range of gender
non-conforming people are covered by the legislation.
State and Local Legislation
NGLTF provides legislative and strategy assistance to activists and organizations working to pass
trans-inclusive anti-discrimination ordinances or include transgendered people in existing laws.
Frequently, local and state activists lack information on how to draft and pass transgender-
inclusive legislation. The Project can provide valuable assistance throughout the entire legislative
process. Because each locality is different, NGLTF tailors the assistance it provides to the
particular needs and circumstances of the state or locality.
NGLTF can help by:
Drafting talking points and educational materials for the public and legislators about
discrimination against transgender people
Evaluating and drafting clear and effective legislative language and amendments
Addressing legal questions or concerns from legislators or councilpersons
Providing advice on negotiating your political landscape--from forming and maintaining
political coalitions, to identifying what type of legislation will be most successful, and what
legislative bodies will be most receptive
Providing media and organizing assistance
Federal Legislation
NGLTF works in coalition with other groups devoted to ensuring transgender equality. A primary
goal is to educate members of Congress about discrimination against transgendered people to
lay the foundation for a transgender-inclusive anti-discrimination bill. NGLTF also works on hate
crimes legislation at the federal level.
The NGLTF Transgender Civil Rights Project is available to provide technical assistance to
activists, legislators and others who are working on legislative issues for transgendered people.
What is NGLTF?
NGLTF is the national progressive organization working for the civil rights of gay, lesbian, bisexual
and transgendered people, with the vision and commitment to building a powerful political
movement.
NGLTF is Vision
NGLTF believes a strong GLBT movement demands the empowerment of community leaders at
the local level.
We're building a social justice movement that unites ideas with action. We organize activists. We
train leaders. We equip organizers. We mobilize voters. We build coalitions. We teach-and learn
from-today's vibrant GLBT youth movement. We're proud of our commitment to the linkages
between oppressions based on race, class, gender, and sexual orientation. Every day, in small
towns and large cities, NGLTF is in your community, creating change for a better tomorrow. We're
with you in your quest for a future that respects and celebrates the dignity and diversity of all
people.
NGLTF is... Organizing
NGLTF is committed to building a progressive GLBT political infrastructure. Our work builds
political strength and creates strong coalitions among grassroots advocates. We use proactive
issue-based campaigns to organize local communities and states. NGLTF serves as the national
partner for the Federation of Statewide LGBT Advocacy Organizations. In 1999, NGLTF partnered
with the Federation to produce Equality Begins at Home, a campaign of more than 350 actions in
all 50 state capitals. Currently, NGLTF is waging a campaign against anti-GLBT hate crimes,
which will focus on coalition-building and legislative work in key states.
NGLTF is... Thinking
NGLTF's Policy Institute is the movement's think tank dedicated to research, critical policy
analysis, strategy development and coalition building to advance equality for GLBT people and to
end institutionalized homophobia. The Policy Institute publishes original research, conducts
unique analysis on existing data, engages in policy analysis, convenes roundtables of scholars
and activists, and engages in public speaking and public education.
NGLTF is... Training
NGLTF's grassroots training addresses the needs of state and local organizers in their work. The
cornerstone of this work is the annual Creating Change conference. Always on the cutting
edge, Creating Change is the preeminent skills building and activist conference in our
movement.
NGLTF provides key support and assistance to communities facing anti-GLBT ballot measures by
developing local leadership. Without a strong progressive infrastructure in place, many
communities have been unable to mount successful campaigns against these measures. NGLTF
provides a systematic campaign organizing program to these communities.
NGLTF is...Advocating
NGLTF is the recognized expert in the field of GLBT-related state legislation and employs a
comprehensive program of state legislative tracking, monitoring and reporting. Updates during the
legislative sessions supplement Capital Gains and Losses, the annual report summarizing
legislation by category and analyzing overall trends in the state legislative arena. The Task Force
has a full-time state legislative lawyer to draft legislation, articulate policy arguments, provide
legal research, manage a national clearinghouse of legislation and policy materials, and develop
legislative strategies.
NGLTF is a full participant in the public policy debates at the federal level, both in Congress and
in the Administration. The Task Force also connects policy work at the federal level with local
activists and pursues federal resources for state and local projects.
NGLTF is Partnering
Every step of the way, NGLTF works closely with national, state and local partners to achieve our
common goals. We're proud to work along side the Federation of Statewide LGBT Advocacy
Organizations; National Religious Leadership Roundtable; National Policy Roundtable; National
Family Policy Network; National Consortium of Directors of LGBT Resources in Higher Education;
National Coalition of Anti-Violence Programs; Leadership Council on Civil Rights.

CHAPTER 16
THE AMERICAN CIVIL LIBERTIES UNION (ACLU)
http://www.aclu.org/
LESBIAN AND GAY RIGHTS
The struggle of LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered) people for full equality is one of
this generations most important and galvanizing civil rights movements. Despite the many
advances that have been made, however, LGBT people continue to face discrimination in many
areas of life. No federal law prevents a person from being fired or refused a job on the basis of
sexual orientation. The nations largest employer the U.S. military openly discriminates
against gays and lesbians. Mothers and fathers still lose child custody simply because they are
gay or lesbian. And gay people are still denied the right to marry in all states.
The ACLU has actively supported the struggle for lesbian and gay civil rights since the 1960s and
in 1986, it established its national Lesbian and Gay Rights Project. Working in close coordination
with the ACLUs affiliates nationwide, the Project coordinates an extensive legal program and
conducts a broad range of public policy and public education activities. The Project targets five
areas for its litigation, lobbying, and public education activities: discrimination; family and
relationships, including marriage; lesbian and gay teens and young adults; laws which criminalize
sexual intimacy; and expression and association.
Discrimination based on sexual orientation still permeates many areas of American life.
Businesses openly fire LGBT employees, and every year, lesbians and gay men are denied jobs
and access to housing, hotels and other public accommodations. Many more are forced to hide
their lives, deny their families and lie about their loved ones just to get by. The ACLU fights antigay discrimination on many fronts, and actively supports the passage of the federal Employment
Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA), which would bar discrimination in the workplace.
For lesbians and gay man, just as for everyone else, issues of family and intimate relationships
are profoundly important. These include parenting, custody, and adoption rights, as well as the
recognition of relationships, including marriage and domestic partnership. The Lesbian and Gay
Rights Project represents people who have been separated from their children because they are
lesbian or gay, and gay men and lesbians who either want to be legally recognized as co-parents
or want to adopt. Since the 1970s, the ACLU has supported the right of lesbians and gay men to
marry and more recently has vigorously opposed state and federal laws aimed at preventing
lesbians and gay men from marrying. The Project has also written and negotiated policies that
recognize domestic partnerships, and brought cases designed to gain recognition for lesbian and
gay families
Young LGBT people face a set of special legal problems. Nothing is more important than making
schools safe and welcoming places for gay and lesbian youth, who often face tremendous
hostility from their family and community. This means protecting students from violence,
guaranteeing their right to organize events and clubs like other students, and making sure that
gay teachers who might serve as healthy role models are not themselves victimized by
harassment and discrimination. The Project has initiated an innovative "Making Schools Safe"
program -- a model training workshop designed for organizations interested in promoting school
safety to help them work with educators to combat anti-gay harassment in local schools. The
program is intended to be a resource that local groups can offer to school districts to help them
stem harassment early -- before they wind up facing litigation.
Approximately 20 states still have laws which criminalize some forms of private sexual intimacy,
some only between members of the same sex. These laws hurt people, and hurt them seriously.
Among other things, they hurt people in parenting cases, where they are used as a reason to
deny custody or keep gay men and lesbians from becoming parents, and they hurt people
through "sting" operations in which police departments set up special squads whose purpose is to
entrap gay men. The ACLU will continue challenging these sodomy statutes until all the laws
have been repealed or set aside.
To achieve equality, lesbians and gay men must be able to exercise their First Amendment rights
to organize politically and speak freely about LGBT issues. The ACLU has stepped in when local
governments have tried to prevent lesbian and gay pride marches and other demonstrations,
when schools and universities have tried to prevent lesbian and gay students from organizing,
and when the state has tried to censor education about lesbians and gay men.
The goal of the ACLU Lesbian and Gay Rights Project is equal treatment and equal dignity for
lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered people. That means even-handed treatment by the
government, protection from discrimination and fair and equal treatment for lesbian and gay
couples and families.
ACLU Asks Supreme Court to Strike Down Anti-Gay Kansas Law October 10, 2002
http://www.aclu.org/LesbianGayRights/LesbianGayRights.cfm?ID=10856&c=41
Calls 17-Year Sentence for Gay Youth Unconstitutional
WASHINGTON The American Civil Liberties Union today asked the Supreme Court to declare
part of Kansass Romeo and Juliet Law unconstitutional because it gives gay teenagers much
higher prison sentences than heterosexual teenagers who engage in identical consensual sexual
activities.
Matthew Limon is appealing a 17-year prison sentence he got for performing consensual oral sex
with a nearly-15-year-old male. Limon, who had turned 18 only a week before the incident, would
have been sentenced to a maximum of 15 months if he and his partner had been members of the
opposite sex, because the Romeo and Juliet Law applies only to heterosexuals.
Matthew Limons sentence isnt different because of what he did its only different because of
who he is, said Tamara Lange, a staff attorney with the ACLUs Lesbian and Gay Rights Project,
which represents Limon. We arent asking to change age-of-consent laws or to reduce
sentences for sexual contact with minors, but we do believe that the law should apply equally to
everyone.
In papers filed today, the ACLU asked the Supreme Court to consider the constitutionality of
Limons sentence. Under the Kansas law, consensual oral sex between two teens is a lesser
crime if the younger teenager is 14 to 16 years old, if the older teenager is under 19, if the age
difference is less than 4 years, if there are no third parties involved, and if the two teenagers are
members of the opposite sex.
Because he had sex with another boy instead of a girl, Matthew Limon will be behind bars until
hes 36 years old, said Matt Coles, the Lesbian and Gay Rights Projects director. After that he
will have to undergo five years of supervision, and he will be permanently branded a child
molester all for a consensual act with a boy who was only three years and a month younger. If
he were heterosexual, he would have been out of jail long ago.
Singling out gay teenagers for harsher punishment than heterosexuals receive for the same acts
clearly violates the Equal Protection Clause of the U.S. Constitution, the ACLU said in its brief.
About Us
The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) is our nation's guardian of liberty, working daily in
courts, legislatures and communities to defend and preserve the individual rights and liberties
guaranteed to all people in this country by the Constitution and laws of the United States.
In 1920, when the ACLU was founded by Roger Baldwin, Crystal Eastman, Albert DeSilver and
others, civil liberties were in a sorry state. Activists were languishing in jail for distributing anti-war
literature. Foreign-born people suspected of political radicalism were subject to summary
deportation. Racial segregation was the law of the land and state sanctioned violence against
African Americas was routine. Constitutional rights for lesbians and gay men, the poor and many
other groups were virtually unthinkable. Moreover, the U.S. Supreme Court had yet to uphold a
single free speech claim under the First Amendment.
Since our founding in 1920, the nonprofit, nonpartisan ACLU has grown from a roomful of civil
liberties activists to an organization of nearly 300,000 members and supporters, with offices in
almost every state. The ACLU has also maintained, since its founding, the position that civil
liberties must be respected, even in times of national emergency. In support of that position, the
ACLU has appeared before the Supreme Court and other federal courts on numerous occasions,
both as direct counsel and by filing amicus briefs.
The ACLU's mission is to fight civil liberties violations wherever and whenever they occur. Most of
our clients are ordinary people have experienced an injustice and have decided to fight back. The
ACLU is also active in our national and state capitals, fighting to ensure that the Bill of Rights will
always be more than a "parchment barrier" against government oppression and the tyranny of the
majority.
The ACLU is supported by annual dues and contributions from its members, plus grants from
private foundations and individuals. We do not receive any government funding.
Anthony D. Romero Is New ACLU Executive Director; First

Latino to Head Premier Civil Liberties Group 2002
ACLU elects first Hispanic, Gay man to lead organization
NEW YORK -- The National Board of the American Civil Liberties Union voted
unanimously this weekend to appoint Anthony D. Romero, a Ford Foundation executive
and public interest attorney, as the sixth executive director in the institution's 81-year
history.
"I hope to begin my tenure as the leader of this vitally important organization by sparking
a new dialogue about the bedrock values of American democracy," said the 35-year-old
Romero. "My overarching goal is to promote a new generation of committed civil
libertarians and civil rights activists."
Even though we have come so far," Romero said, "our nation faces serious and
continuing civil liberties challenges - widespread racial profiling, threats to reproductive
freedom, hostility to immigrants, a burgeoning prison population and, most importantly, a
generation of young people who do not fully embrace or appreciate the need for constant
vigilance and defense of our constitutional freedoms."
Romero also said that he is eager to explore the impact of science and new technologies
on freedom of expression, privacy and discrimination. "The ACLU must do as much for
the future as it does for the present," he said.
"Leading the ACLU will be a life's dream and aspiration come true," added Romero, who
becomes the first Latino and openly gay man to head the ACLU.
Nadine Strossen, the ACLU's President who led a 14-member committee that
recommended Romero, called him "brilliant, dedicated, determined, diligent, resourceful
and successful."
"Anthony is an idealist, bold and creative in his vision and strategy, but skeptical and
realistic in his tactics," Strossen said. "His career exemplifies the adage that those who
prepare for opportunities are the most likely to discover or create them."
Romero has worked at the Ford Foundation for almost a decade. He is currently the
Director of Human Rights and International Cooperation, which is the foundation's
largest program with $90 million in grants last year. He joined Ford in 1992 as a program
officer in the Rights and Social Justice Program and, after less than four years, was
promoted to become the one of the youngest Directors in Ford's history.
Before joining the Ford Foundation, Romero worked at the Rockefeller Foundation.
Born in the Bronx of immigrant Puerto Rican parents, he is fluent in Spanish. He
graduated from Stanford Law School and Princeton University.
Romero will take the helm of the ACLU from Ira Glasser, who has served as Executive
Director since 1978. During Glasser's 23-year tenure, the ACLU remade itself into a truly
national organization, with expanded legal and legislative programs, a powerful
communications program, a growing $30 million endowment, a strong management
system and staffed offices covering every state as well as the District of Columbia and
Puerto Rico.
"The ACLU Executive Director is the conductor of an often-brassy orchestra," Glasser
said. "He does not need to play all the instruments, but must be able to envision, organize
and lead the performance. I am confident that Anthony Romero is the best person to be
the ACLU's next conductor."
Glasser announced his retirement last August, saying that he wanted to spend more time
with his wife of 41 years, his four adult children and two grandchildren. "Retirement for
me does not mean a change of career," he said of his future. "It means the end of work."
Commenting on Glasser's tenure and the Romero appointment, Strossen said: "Ira Glasser
brought to the ACLU a genuinely rare combination of intellectual leadership and
managerial skills. His qualities as a civil liberties visionary and an organizational
architect are what enabled him to fulfill the ACLU's mission."
"The infrastructure to defend fundamental rights that Ira Glasser leaves us is truly a
legacy of liberty," she added. "It makes us confident in our ability to manage the
transition to his successor, Anthony Romero."
The President of the Ford Foundation, Susan V. Berresford, said, "We feel fortunate to
have drawn on Anthony's abundant talents and energies over eight years. He has been an
outstanding leader and valued colleague throughout the time we have worked together."
"Anthony will bring the ACLU intellectual leadership, management skills of a high order,
and a deep commitment to rights advocacy," Berresford added.
As part of his vision for the ACLU, Romero said that he would work to increase,
diversify and better utilize the ACLU membership and strengthen its affiliate offices.
"The ACLU is the only organization that can serve as a wholesale bulwark against attacks
on our civil liberties," he said.
"While most civil rights and civil liberties organizations focus on a specific issue or a
particular constituency," he said, "the ACLU is the only organization that defends all of
our constitutional liberties and the rights of all Americans."
"Most of our cases," Romero said, "come to us from ordinary people who need the ACLU
because they have been denied basic rights guaranteed under our Constitution. They need
our help to fight back."
As to issues, Romero said, "first and most importantly, the ACLU's commitment to free
speech must be undiminished."
"From my work in countries such as China and Kenya, I have come to appreciate the
central role of free speech in securing other civil rights and civil liberties," he said. "This
is a core ACLU issue that will require continued advocacy and vigilance."
But he added that the other core ACLU issues -- including religious liberty, reproductive
freedom and women's rights, racial justice, immigrants' rights and lesbian and gay
equality -- will also require increased attention and resources.
Romero said that his commitment to civil rights, civil liberties and social justice comes
from his life experience. "My memories of discrimination, homophobia and poverty
stand in sharp contrast to the dignity and love I got from my family," he said.
Romero will start work at the ACLU's national headquarters in lower Manhattan in
September. A native New Yorker, he lives in Manhattan with his partner.
CHAPTER 17
THE CARNEGIES
www.carnegie.org
OUR MISSION
Carnegie Corporation of New York was created by Andrew Carnegie in 1911 to
promote "the advancement and diffusion of knowledge and understanding." Under
Carnegie's will, grants must benefit the people of the United States, although up to
7.4 percent of the funds may be used for the same purpose in countries that are or
have been members of the British Commonwealth, with a current emphasis on
Commonwealth Africa. As a grantmaking foundation, the Corporation seeks to carry
out Carnegie's vision of philanthropy, which he said should aim "to do real and
permanent good in this world."
OUR WORK
The program areas that are now the focus of the Corporation's work have evolved
over time, adapting to changing circumstances as Andrew Carnegie wished. While
current program directions have been designed to correspond with the Corporation's
historic mission and legacy and to maintain the continuity of its work, they are also
intended to serve as catalysts for change.
In the 21st century, under Vartan Gregorian, Carnegie Corporation is facing the
challenge of how to support the development of a global community in an age when
both isolationism and nationalism seem to be fostering a fractured view of the world.
And in a time when we are overwhelmed by information, how do we use it to build a
sense of community instead of allowing it to tear us apart?
The Corporation's current program directions are listed below. A detailed description
of the program guidelines will be found under each heading.
GENERAL PROGRAM GUIDELINES AND PRIORITIES
Individual Program Areas
In the fiscal year 2000-2001, Carnegie Corporation of New York will advance a
number of the strategies outlined by Vartan Gregorian in his 1999 New Directions
paper. The following program descriptions provide an overview of the work agenda
for the Corporations four program divisions and its Scholars Program.
EDUCATION
The twenty-first century has left the age of the industrial worker, passing to the age
of the knowledge worker. Both general and specialized education have assumed
greater importance for the personal development of individuals; for the civic, social,
and economic strength of the nation; and for the search for solutions to global
problems facing humankind. The nation's future depends on the priority given to the
development of new knowledge and to investments in human capital. For individuals,

the benefits of education are increasingly positive, since opportunities to acquire
satisfying jobs and a decent standard of living are requiring higher levels of formal
education.
To remain globally competitive, with vigorous democratic institutions reinforcing the
nation's common bonds while respecting differences, the United States must strive to
offer real opportunity to all the members of its pluralistic society. By adulthood every
young American must acquire the skills, knowledge, and values to participate fully in
national and world affairs. American education, however, was shaped in an earlier
age, when most children needed preparation for a world that relied primarily on
physical labor and, by today's standards, simple machinery. Today, the nation cannot
afford to allow the majority of its young people to fall short of their academic
promise. Educational structures inherited from the industrial age can be revitalized
by adapting to fit a new economic, technological and social context.
Although the challenges are new, the solutions rest upon fundamental bedrock: the
need to develop a deep capacity for literacy and numeracy in U.S. citizens. Educated
persons in a knowledge-based economy must read fluently, analytically and
productively and they must be able to express themselves well in writing that is
correctly structured and punctuated. They must also be able to interpret quantitative
data on a fundamental level and perform basic arithmetic and logical tasks correctly,
with ease and confidence. These basic gateway skills assume different definitions and
shapes as people move from early childhood through adolescence and into college, a
process that helps to inform the Corporation's grantmaking in the field of education.
Building on its history and past programs in the field, Carnegie Corporation will
dedicate a major part of its grant funds over the next few years to education reform,
beginning with early childhood education and extending to higher education. The
education program will focus on three key areas:
1. Early Childhood Education
2. Urban School Reform
3. Higher Education
Early Childhood Education
The early years in children's lives are critical in the formation and development of
intelligence, motivation and social behavior. Recognizing this fact, the Corporation
has taken a leadership role in promoting early childhood research and developing
education policy for early childhood; its previous work highlighted the importance of
early learning and its impact on the later success of children in school. The
Corporation's activities have helped to move the value of early childhood education
to the forefront of public policy and stimulated the general public through public
engagement activities. The results have spurred major investments by many
foundations and government agencies.
As a primary goal in the coming year, Corporation staff members will build on the
foundations extensive knowledge base in early childhood education and early literacy
to explore issues of literacy and numeracy as children make transitions from
prekindergarten through second grade and then to upper elementary and
intermediate grades. The emphasis on literacy and numeracy will be an organizing
principle to accelerate school reform and significantly improve reading and math
achievement in the United States among all groups of students. The staff will focus
on three developmentally broad areas:
a) Continued support for creating high-quality early childhood learning
systems that support school readiness.
b) Intensified support for early literacy programs.
c) Exploration and development of literacy and numeracy initiatives to
reach children as they make the transition into the next states of
learning, from third grade through eighth grade.
Urban School Reform
Nowhere is the challenge to educational reform greater than in the urban public high
school. Although most cities have a few magnet high schools and promising small
schools or alternative schools, there is strong evidence that the overwhelming
majority of urban adolescents attend large, impersonal schools where they do not
gain the competencies needed either for postsecondary education or entry into the
knowledge-based work force.
Creating high schools that can prepare todays students for a new economy requires
far more than incremental changes to the existing model for secondary schools. It
calls for a fundamental rethinking of the high school and a reinvention of secondary
education. The Corporation considers the redesigning of urban high schools to be a
daunting challenge but also a promising target of opportunity for accelerating the
pace of urban school reform. The goal is clear. Urban high schools need to become
learning communities with cultures that support high expectations, inquiry, effort,
persistence and achievement by all. In short, they must become communities of
teaching, learning, purpose and contribution.
Reinventing urban high schools requires district-level leadership and change. The
vision for a system of high schools where there is room for every student to thrive
will be difficult to achieve without strategic thinking about how to align all the diverse
resources of the district and community into a coherent plan of action. This will
involve changing the cultures of districts, challenging political interests and financial
inequities and finding solutions to professional and technical problems of curriculum,
teaching and learning, recruitment, supervision, school design and management and
assessment and accountability practices.
Much of the Corporation's resources in its urban school reform program are being
directed towards support for two large-scale initiatives that incorporate these
concerns. Both Schools for a New Society and New Century High Schools Consortium
for New York City involve direct grants to district-community partnerships in selected
cities; support for a learning network among the districts; an evaluation and a range
of policy studies. In the case of Schools for a New Society, the Corporation, joined by
the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, has awarded $60 million over five years to help
school-reform partners in seven cities reinvent the high school experience for more
than 140,000 students in over 100 schools. The New Century High Schools
Consortium for New York City established by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation,
Carnegie Corporation of New York and the Open Society Institute, will make a fiveyear, $30 million investment aimed at transforming low-performing, large,
comprehensive high schools in New York City into sets of small, effective schools and
creating additional new small schools in neighborhoods of highest need.
The Corporation's interest in urban school reform will also be expressed through a
focus on these targets of opportunity:
a) Reforming urban school districts.
b) Redesigning urban high schools.
c) Recruiting and training a new generation of urban school leaders.
Higher Education
Higher education has always had two broad purposes. One is to provide the
advanced knowledge and techniques necessary for highly skilled specialized work:
what we commonly call a profession. The other is to enlarge understanding of the
world and thereby also to improve an individual's capacity to participate in society
and to better the human condition. The Corporation's program in higher education
acknowledges these dual strands of learning and education by focusing on two
objectives:
a) Improving the quality of teacher education.
b) Sustaining and developing the teaching of the liberal arts.
Most of the Corporation's investment in teacher education for the next five years will
be expressed through an initiative called Teachers for a New Era, which is aimed at
developing excellent teacher education programs at selected colleges and
universities. Grants up to $5 million for a period of five years will be awarded to
selected institutions on recommendations from a national advisory panel of experts.
The initiative calls for bold reforms in current teacher education models. Key among
the design features is a focus on the extent of pupil learning brought about by good
teaching and on teaching as clinical practice. The initiative also requires a clinical
faculty that is inclusive of master teachers and a two-year residency (or induction
period) for graduates who are beginning teaching careers. Teachers for a New Era
stresses the importance of formal collaboration between schools of education,
traditional arts and sciences faculty and principals and classroom teachers.
Institutions selected for this initiative will develop methods of evaluating the
effectiveness of their programs by calibrating the teaching success of their
graduates.
Participation in Teachers for a New Era will be by invitation. Institutions agreeing to
the initiative's conditions will receive funding for an initial three-year period with a
contingent renewal for an additional two years. Each award, up to $1 million per
year, will be matched by the institution receiving the award. At least 30 percent of
the matching funds must be pledged to an endowment that will continue to support
the new program.
The Corporation will continue to make grants in other areas of promising opportunity
and in ways that support the rationale and design principles of Teachers for a New
Era. Particular attention will be given to exemplary proposals that strengthen teacher
quality through inservice education or alternative certification.
In the coming year, the Corporation's concern for the liberal arts will be explored
through the development of a comprehensive strategy. The foundations goals
include strengthening the central purposes of the liberal arts and their delivery for an
emerging world of mass higher education where highly mobile students transfer from
institution to institution, where credits and credentials are portable and there is an
increasing demand for utility and convenience. Particular attention will be given to
projects that strengthen core liberal arts requirements in community colleges; that
promote coherent articulation of the liberal arts between two-year and four-year
institutions; that commit four-year B.A. or B.S. degree-granting institutions to
assume greater authority over their liberal arts requirements; that facilitate
international engagement within liberal arts requirements; that promote the teaching
of science and technology as general and liberal education; that explore the teaching
of liberal arts via distance learning technologies; and that elevate the teaching of
liberal education, general education and the liberal arts within four-year B.A. or B.S.
degree curricula.
Program Restrictions. The foundation does not review requests from individual
schools or preschools.

INTERNATIONAL PEACE AND SECURITY

The overall goal of the International Peace and Security (IPS) program is to identify
the gravest challenges to U.S. and global security and, within the limits of available
resources, to support efforts to allay these threats. This goal is approached through
three principal areas of focus: Weapons of Mass Destruction; Russia an Other PostSoviet States (which includes the Corporations initiative on Regenerating Higher
Education in the Former Soviet Union); and New Dimensions of Security: Evolving
Notions of Sovereignty.
The guidelines that follow for the Corporation's program on International Peace and
Security were drafted during the summer of 2001. More than any other program at
the Corporation, the core of IPS's substantive agenda has been affected by the
events of September 11. In the coming months, this agenda will be refined in ways
that reflect our response to these events, and we ask that you contact program staff
members for updates on this process. We recognize, however, that those areas of
program activity we considered critical and worthy of support prior to September
11th have in no way diminished in importance. Indeed, the tragic events of that date
self-evidently serve to underscore the importance of each of our three subprogram
themes as valid organizing principles for international peace and security
grantmaking. For this reason, we do not envision a major realignment in our
program during the coming year.
1. WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION
The presence on the planet of weapons of mass destruction (WMD) is the most
serious core security issue for the United States. IPS will address this concern
through two programmatic themes:
Theme 1: Containing the Spread of Weapons of Mass Destruction.
As the world moves beyond the Cold War security paradigm in which two
superpowers, the U.S. and Soviet Union, faced each other with the threat of mutual
nuclear annihilation, a scenario that most now acknowledge to be virtually
nonexistent, the time is right for new thinking on international security issues in
broader global and regional terms, while still emphasizing WMD in light of the RussiaU.S. relationship and the enormous stockpile of nuclear weapons, materials and
knowledge still very much present in Russia and the surrounding states of the former
Soviet Union. The IPS goals and objectives under this theme are:
Goal 1: To strengthen multilateral engagement toward the prevention of
proliferation.
Objectives:
a) Promoting research and analysis on multilateral WMD issues.
b) Encouraging discussion on long-term regional security scenarios.
c) Seeking opportunities for multilateral dialogue on security issues.
Goal 2: To decrease the dangers posed by the Russian nuclear complex.
Objectives:
a) Preventing the diversion of Russian nuclear materials.
b) Facilitating U.S.-Russian cooperation on export controls and policy.
c) Assisting the transition to the civilian sector of Russia's nuclear
scientists and technicians.
Goal 3: To strengthen Russia's capacity to deal with proliferation issues.
Objectives:
a) Providing opportunities for confidence-building measures between Russia
and the U.S.
b) Building an indigenous expertise on proliferation.
Theme 2: The Impact of Advances in Science and Technology on the Spread
of Weapons of Mass Destruction.
The international community has an opportunity to replace the Cold War paradigm
with strategic cooperation. At the same time, developments made possible because
of advances in science and technology, specifically the biotechnological revolution,
missile defense and the militarization of space, could impact the spread of WMD. And
as current events have shown, the threat of biological and chemical warfare, perhaps
the most frightening of all WMD, now hangs over all of us. The Corporation hopes to
address these issues through the following goals and objectives:
Goal 1: To develop ways to address the biological weapons threat.
Objectives:
a) Facilitating working groups on biological weapons control.

b) Finalizing the Corporation's current work on the Biological Weapons
Convention.
c) Supporting the development of a community of experts whose expertise
combines biological science and international security.
Goal 2: To assess the impact of missile defense deployment on proliferation.
Objectives:
a) Examining regional security implications of developing and employing
missile defense.
b) Projecting the impact of missile defense deployment on proliferation.
c) Assessing alternative missile defense deployment modes.
Goal 3: To explore issues related to the militarization of space.
Objectives:
a) Examining how the militarization of space might affect the relationship
between the U.S. and Russia or between the U.S. and China.
b) Exploring how alternative future U.S. nuclear postures might be affected by
the militarization of space.
2. RUSSIA AND OTHER POST-SOVIET STATES
Vartan Gregorian, president of the Corporation, has noted that "Russia is a core
concern with the IPS program because outcomes there are fundamental to the
world's future." The Corporation's grantmaking in regard to Russia is based on a
premise that the greater the magnitude of Russia's challenges, the greater the global
consequences and the greater the need for Western involvement with Russia. This
concern is expressed through two program themes:
Theme 1: Facilitating Russia's capacity to transform itself to a Westernoriented Democracy with a Market Economy.
Despite the significant progress of the last decade, Russia continues to face political,
economic and social challenges. The road to reform is long and daunting, and the
outcome will impact not only Russia's future but relationships, markets and security
issues throughout the rest of the world, as well. Corporation grantmaking in this area
will be expressed through the following goals and objectives:
Goal 1: To strengthen Russia's capacity to deal with its challenges. (Click
here to read reports from the Corporation's Russia initiative, which focuses on policy
directions for the U.S. and Russia, and see a video.)
Objectives:
a) Encouraging the interactions between Russian and American scholars,
experts and policymakers.
b) Supporting initiatives devoted to fostering democracy and civil societin
Russia.
Goal 2: To facilitate Russia's integration with the West.

Objectives:
a) Assessing the mechanisms for Russia's integration into Western political,
security and economic structures.
b) Examining the internal impediments to Russia's integration into Western
political, security and economic structures.
Goal 3: To explore new paradigms for U.S.-Russian relations.
Objectives:
a) Exploring the opportunities for U.S.-Russian partnerships.
b) Sustaining awareness of Russia and U.S.-Russian relations among U.S.
policymakers and the concerned public.
Theme 2: Regenerating Higher Education in the Former Soviet Union.
A strong system of higher education coupled with healthy respect for scholarly and
scientific research is central to the task of rejuvenating Russia and other post-Soviet
states from within. Since 1999, the Corporation has invested close to $12 million in
nineteen grants aimed at supporting higher education in the region, particularly
through the establishments of Centers for Advanced Study and Education (CASEs),
which have been created in partnership with the Russian Ministry of Education and
the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, and which facilitate scholarly
research and training, professional development, academic travel, publications and
libraries. The centers are based at leading universities and targeted at the social
sciences and the humanities. Work in this area continues through the following goals
and objectives:
Goal 1: To strengthen universities and libraries.
Objectives:
a) Creating centers of excellence at major universities in Russia.
b) Creating centers of excellence at major universities in other post-Soviet
states.
Goal 2: To create research fellowships for scholars.
Objectives:
a) Offering academic fellowships for scholars in Russia and other former
Soviet states working in their home countries.
b) Offering short-term academic fellowships in the U.S. for scholars from
Russia and other former Soviet states.
Goals 3: To advance education reform.
Objectives:
a) Facilitating joint training programs between Russian and American

universities.
b) Promoting the use of distance education as a tool for introducing Western
curricula to post-Soviet universities.
c) Fostering administrative reforms at post-Soviet universities.
3. NEW DIMENSIONS OF SECURITY: EVOLVING NOTIONS OF SOVEREIGNTY
Conflicting interpretations of the meaning and extent of sovereignty are at the heart
of all disputes involving the clash between the desire of groups within states to
govern themselves, the right of self-determination, and the contending interest of
states to maintain control over their borders and the people within them. Similarly,
unresolved questions about sovereignty underscore many disputes over scarce
resources, particularly water, as well as efforts to resolve them. IPS is exploring
these concerns through two programmatic themes. Given budgetary constraints and
the breadth and complexity of these themes, grantmaking will be focused on
particular aspects of this agenda at various times during the year:
Theme 1: Contested Borders in a Globalized World
The increasing permeability of state borders and the ubiquitous but poorly
understood phenomenon of globalization are increasing sources of global tension,
and potential threats to international security. A better understanding of the complex
issues presented by globalization and their implications is essential in the search for
solutions to some of the most pressing concerns on the emerging security agenda.
Building on previously funded self-determination work related to this theme, the
Corporation will address these concerns through the following goals and objectives:
Goal 1: To examine the efficacy of various power-sharing arrangements in
multiethnic and multisectarian societies.
Objectives:
a) Filling geographic and substantive gaps in our existing grantmaking.
b) Assessing lessons learned from comparative and in-depth case studies.
c) Developing options for policymakers and disseminating them to appropriate
audiences.
Goal 2: To assess the role of external actors in internal conflicts.
Objectives:
a) Incorporating a range of international viewpoints on intervention questions.
b) Assessing regional and multilateral approaches to military intervention.
c) Examining a range of nonmilitary intervention options and their suitability,
including in post-conflict situations.
Goal 3: To better understand and evaluate the impact of globalization on
international peace and security.
Objectives:
a) Exploring the specific effects of the information and technological
revolutions and increasing political, economic and social integration on
traditional and emerging notions of state sovereignty.

b) Bringing empirical evidence to bear on claims and counterclaims.
c) Providing opportunities for constructive dialogue among opposing sides in
the globalization debate.
Theme 2: Resource Scarcity: Competition and Cooperation Over Fresh Water
By invoking water as a vital national security interest requiring the use of any means
necessary for its defense, many world leaders have raised the stakes, as well as the
dangers, surrounding competition over this increasingly scarce resource. Waterrelated issues are also becoming increasingly enmeshed in the politics of traditional
diplomacy and international relations. Grantmaking in this area will seek to overcome
disciplinary barriers and bring diverse perspectives to bear on pressing water issues.
Goals and objectives are outlined below:
Goal 1: To contribute to the policy debate on key issues.
Objectives:
a) Supporting objective analysis of some of the most important and
contentious water issues.
b) Bridging differences among opposing groups.
c) Recommending improved institutional responses and policy reforms.
Goal 2: To promote interdisciplinary collaboration.
Objectives:
a) Convening dialogues about water with experts drawn from various
relevant disciplines.
b) Bringing water experts together with counterparts from other
seemingly unrelated fields.
c) Promoting improved information and data sharing.
Program Restrictions. With some exceptions, grants made in this program are to
U.S. institutions. No curriculum projects within individual schools or colleges are
supported. Proposals for media-related grants are only occasionally supported.

INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM

The International Development Program (IDP) of Carnegie Corporation seeks to
enhance the capacity of selected African universities and public library systems to
contribute toward national development. The program has three themes:
Strengthening Selected African Universities

Enhancing Womens Educational Opportunities at African Universities
Revitalizing Public Libraries
These themes are aimed at helping to train a new generation of African men and
women who are able to contribute to their communities and countries. To flourish in
the modern world, African citizens at all levels must have access to up-to-date
knowledge. Vibrant, open, functioning public libraries serve that need and, by
increasing citizens access to knowledge, especially in remote and isolated regions,
also become a vital part of the process that encourages matriculation in institutions
of higher education. At the same time, through the work of their faculty and
graduates, dynamic healthy universities help to create the knowledge base that can
fill the shelves of public libraries. Moreover, such training serves to build leadership
capacity at all levels of a nation. In both instances, the full and equitable
participation of all members of society, both male and female, needs to be
encouraged. By focusing on increasing female participation in higher education, the
Corporation will contribute to redressing a major imbalance in the continent, where
women are significantly underrepresented in institutions of higher education,
especially in the fields of science and technology and among faculty and academic
leadership positions.
The methodology adopted by IDP is to channel resources to a few carefully selected
institutions and countries in order to achieve the maximum impact. The Corporation
intends to support initiatives designed in such a way as to sustain specific
institutional reforms and spur other institutions and countries to adapt and utilize the
results.
Strengthening Selected African Universities
The goals of this program are to strengthen African universities in order to sustain
relevant and well-managed reforms and to improve their capacity to contribute
toward national development through their graduates, research applications and
communities. To meet these goals, the overall strategy is to provide institutional
support to selected universities in Uganda, Tanzania, South Africa, Ghana and
Nigeria. By focusing on these five countries, IDP will be able to concentrate
resources, provide larger grants, maximize impact and create models replicable
elsewhere. It also allows for the selection of relatively stable, progressive and wellmanaged countries and institutions.
Within this subprogram, IDP supports institutional development programs that
usually include personnel training, curricular reform, acquisition of equipment and
publications, reorganization of administrative systems and support for administrative
costs. IDP foresees providing support for initial periods of three years, with the
possibility of extending the support to one or two additional periods of three years,
provided the program is successful.
Major milestones of the past year included the approval of two sets of grants for
institutional support to the University of Dar es Salaam in Tanzania and Makerere
University in Uganda. These were followed by grants to support higher education and
special initiative efforts in South Africa. These grants include support for higher
education and programs targeted to improving teaching and national systems of
accreditation and student admissions. Click here for more info.
The program's work with universities is framed by its participation in the Partnership
to Strengthen African Universities, comprised of the Ford, MacArthur, and Rockefeller
foundations as well as the Corporation. The foundation partners have agreed to focus
attention on universities in six countriesGhana, Mozambique, Nigeria, South Africa,
Tanzania, and Uganda. Each foundation makes funding decisions about university
support independently, but the foundations collaborate to support a variety of studies
on aspects of higher education in the continent. For example, case studies of the
University of Dar es Salaam and Makerere University and of higher education in
Mozambique will be published in the first half of 2002. Currently, the foundations are
supporting a case study of higher education in Nigeria; a similar study in Ghana is
getting underway. In addition, they are supporting a study in the Eastern Cape
Province of South Africa as a microcosm, representative of the challenges involved
in the reconfiguration of the higher education system in the nation.
Enhancing Womens Educational Opportunities at African Universities
Within this initiative on strengthening African universities, the Corporation has
elected to give priority to enhancing womens opportunities in higher education. This
decision resulted from a belief that men and women should benefit equally from
public resources devoted to education and is informed by a large body of research
that shows the benefit to society of providing more education for women. Over the
next three-to-five years, the goals and objectives of this program are to increase the
number of women who enter undergraduate programs in selected universities
through the provision of scholarships; in those same universities, to improve the
performance and retention of women students through support of appropriate
interventions; and to extend the impact of institutional projects through raising the
profile of and contributing to the knowledge base on womens higher education
issues.
During the past year, the University of Dar es Salaam and Makerere University both
received planning grants to design undergraduate womens scholarship programs.
Subsequently, the implementation grants were approved by the board in June 2001.
Each grant is for $1 million, and will support at least fifty and sixty-eight new
scholarships, respectively, each year over three years. Click here for more
information. Renewed support is anticipated in FY 2004, either to allow current
scholarship recipients to complete their studies or to expand the program to take in
new students.
Revitalizing Public Libraries
The goal of this program is to strengthen the capacity of public library systems in
selected African countries to fulfill their mission to provide information and access to
all.
A special initiative for reforming public library systems in South Africa was launched
last year and led to the approval of grants to six library systems. They are three
municipal library systemsDurban Metropolitan Library Services, the City of
Johannesburg Library and Information Services, Nelson Mandela Metropolitan
Municipal Library Services, and three provincial library systemsFree State Provincial
Library and Information Services, Mpumalanga Provincial Library and Information
Services and Northern Cape Provincial Library and Information Services. Click here
for more info.
In fiscal year 2002, IDP program staff will be recommending grants to selected
universities or system wide initiatives in South Africa, Ghana and Nigeria. The
invitation to South African universities to develop and submit concept papers on

higher education partnerships programs will launch the second phase of Corporation
support for universities in South Africa. A scholarship program to benefit female
undergraduates will also be implemented in the country. In addition, planning grants
are anticipated in Ghana and Nigeria. Multi-year funding to the National Library
Services of Kenya and Botswana will be provided. The Corporation will continue to
encourage grantees to share with, and learn from the experiences of other
institutions through networking, forming partnerships and participating in national
and regional conferences.
Program Restrictions. Geographic focus is restricted to African countries that are or
have been members of the British Commonwealth as of 1947. Projects that aim to
educate the general public or policymakers in the United States about Africa will not
be considered. While the Corporation is always open to innovative ideas, the
programs proactive, targeted strategy precludes general grants except for the most
selective that would directly relate to the Corporations specific mission. The
Corporation does not provide scholarships to individuals.

STRENGTHENING (RATHER, WEAKENING) U.S. DEMOCRACY

The Strengthening U.S. Democracy Programs overarching goal is to increase civic
participation in the United States. It does this by addressing both the structural and
attitudinal barriers to full civic/electoral participation in the United States and by
building the capacity of the nonprofit sector, which is vital to the social, economic and
political welfare of the nation. The program focuses particularly on two segments of
the population whose civic participation is crucial to the future of our democracy but
who are not generally engaged: young people and immigrants.
The events surrounding the November 2000 elections dramatically underscored the
weak links in the nations electoral infrastructure system. Today, the worlds most
technologically advanced nation has a 19th century voting system. In addition, voter
participation among the eligible electorate remains abysmally low. Despite a slight
increase in the 2000 turnoutabout 52 percent of eligible voters participated, up
from 48 percent in 1996, the lowest turnout since 1924large segments of the
voting population stayed home.
Inadequate voting mechanisms are not the only factors limiting full participation in
our democracy. Campaign finance abuses, elections dominated by news media spin
rather than thoughtful debate, lack of civic literacy, and cynicism about the role of
government and political leaders at all levels have contributed to greater distrust of
the electoral process, leaving the public with little motivation to participate. At the
same time, the nations changing demographics means it must make special effort to
engage young people and immigrantsits future leadersin U.S. civic life.
Integral to the health of the U.S. democracy is the nations nonprofit sector, which
more than a century and a half ago, Alexis de Tocqueville identified as one of the
most distinctive and critical features of American life. Today, this sectorwhich
comprises some of the most prestigious and important institutions in American
societyengages the interest and efforts of millions of citizens; provides mechanisms
for self-help and social welfare services to the disadvantaged and underserved; and
offers venues for Americans to pursue cultural, social, political and religious interests
and beliefs. As U.S. public policy comes to recognize nonprofits as the countrys first
line of attack on its social problems, says management expert Peter F. Drucker, it
will be critical to ensure that they have the management capacity to respond to new
challenges in ways that improve their effectiveness while honoring their missions.
To meet its objective of advancing civic participation, the Strengthening U.S.
Democracy Program emphasizes three themes that include a number of sub areas:
Theme 1: Structural Barriers to Civic/Electoral Participation
Goal 1: To increase public attention and understanding about the existing structural
barriers to voting and civic participation:
Objectives:
a. To shape a broad national agenda of voting infrastructure
reforms.
b. To consider inadequacies in voter equipment and voter
registration
c. To undertake research about other structural barriers that
impede voter participation and the processes leading to
citizenship (e.g., naturalization requirements, felony
disenfranchisement laws, difficult voter registration regulations,
and antiquated voting techniques, etc.). This includes efforts to
help integrate immigrants/new citizens into U.S. civic life.
d. To develop better messaging and communication on democratic
issues and promote better public education and debate on
electoral reforms that work.
Goal 2: To integrate newcomers and immigrants into U.S. civic life.
Objectives:
a. To support research into structural and attitudinal barriers to
citizenship (naturalization), voting and other forms of civic
engagement.
b. To document and promote best practices in the states that are
helping immigrants become active citizens.
Goal 3: To address the influence of campaign contributions at the state and local
level.
Objectives:
a. To improve disclosure and reporting, emphasizing research and
analysis of campaign contributions and expenditures.
b. To promote model campaign finance reform laws.
c. To train state and local print and electronic media in how to
follow the money.
d. To contribute to the dialogue about the implications for
campaign finance reform, given the U.S. Supreme Court
decision in Buckley v. Valeo.
e. To bring new constituenciessuch as business and civil rights/
immigrant groupsto the campaign finance reform debate.
Theme 2: Attitudinal Barriers to Civic Participation

BIOGRAPHY OF ANDREW CARNEGIE

Andrew Carnegie was born in Dunfermline, Scotland, on November 25, 1835. The
son of a weaver, he came with his family to the United States in 1848 and settled in
Allegheny, Pennsylvania. At age thirteen, Carnegie went to work as a bobbin boy in a
cotton mill. He then moved rapidly through a succession of jobs with Western Union
and the Pennsylvania Railroad. In 1865, he resigned to establish his own business
enterprises and eventually organized the Carnegie Steel Company, which launched
the steel industry in Pittsburgh. At age sixty-five, he sold the company to J. P.
Morgan for $480 million and devoted the rest of his life to his philanthropic activities
and writing, including his autobiography.
Many persons of wealth have contributed to charity, but Carnegie was perhaps the
first to state publicly that the rich have a moral obligation to give away their
fortunes. In 1889 he wrote The Gospel of Wealth, in which he asserted that all
personal wealth beyond that required to supply the needs of one's family should be
regarded as a trust fund to be administered for the benefit of the community.
Carnegie set about disposing of his fortune through innumerable personal gifts and
through the establishment of various trusts. In his thirties, Carnegie had already
begun to give away some of his fast-accumulating funds. His first large gifts were
made to his native town. Later he created seven philanthropic and educational
organizations in the United States, including Carnegie Corporation of New York, and
several more in Europe.
One of Carnegie's lifelong interests was the establishment of free public libraries to
make available to everyone a means of self-education. There were only a few public
libraries in the world when, in 1881, Carnegie began to promote his idea. He and the
Corporation subsequently spent over $56 million to build 2,509 libraries throughout
the English-speaking world.
After termination of this program in 1917, the Corporation continued for about forty
years an interest in the improvement of library services. Other major programs in
the Corporation's early history included adult education and education in the fine
arts.
During his lifetime, Carnegie gave away over $350 million. He died in Lenox,
Massachusetts, on August 11, 1919.

The merger of The Chase Manhattan Corporation and J.P. Morgan & Co. Incorporated was
completed in December 2000, combining one of the world's largest commercial banks with one
of the most respected and influential investment banking institutions. Additionally, the merger
united two powerful financial institutions with remarkable histories reaching back over 200
years. Both firms have played formative roles in the development of New York City, the growth
of the modern American economy, and global finance.

HOW JPMORGANCHASE EXPLAINED THE ENRON SCANDAL

February 15, 2002
Just a few months ago, Enron was an investment grade company and #7 on the
Fortune 500.
Factual Highlights
Every major Wall Street firm and most large banks, including JPMorgan Chase, had a
relationship with Enron.
We provided a broad array of financial services to Enron.
We believe that we have an absolute and unconditional contract with the providers of
the surety bonds and letter of credit.
We will learn and apply the lessons from this experience.
Every major Wall Street firm and most large banks, including JPMC, had a
relationship with Enron.
Citi, ML, GS, MSDW, CSFB, BoA, Deutsche and Barclays are all reported to have had
major Enron relationships.
Enron was the largest and fastest corporate bankruptcy in American history.
We provided a broad array of financial services to Enron.
Our roles in the relationship included lender, trading counterparty, M&A advisor,
structured finance provider, and passive investor as a limited partner.
We believed that we had appropriately limited our Enron exposure by mitigating our
risk through surety bonds, letters of credit, and collateral.
At the time of Enron's bankruptcy our total exposure was $2.6B including secured,
unsecured, and positions subsequently written down.
As of December 31, 2001, after write-downs of approximately $.5B, our total exposure
was $2.1B including:
-$1.1B secured exposure backed by surety bonds and a letter of credit.
-$750 million secured exposure to creditworthy joint ventures not in bankruptcy
and debtor-in-possession financing.
-$170 million unsecured exposure, written down in Q4 2001 from $620 million.
We believe that we have an absolute and unconditional contract with the providers
of the surety bonds and letters of credit.
The language in the surety bonds reads: "The obligations of each surety hereunder are
absolute and unconditional irrespective of...any... circumstance whatsoever that might
otherwise constitute a legal. . . defense of a surety in its capacity as such."
Enron paid the insurance companies for issuing the surety bonds.
We instituted legal proceedings against the group of insurers and the bank providing
the letter of credit, seeking payment of $1.1B. The group of insurers includes:
-Travelers Casualty & Surety Company

-Liberty Mutual Insurance Company
-St. Paul Fire and Marine Insurance Company
-Continental Casualty Company/National Fire Insurance of Hartford
-Fireman's Fund Insurance Company
-SAFECO Insurance Company of America
-The Travelers Indemnity Company
-Federal Insurance Company
-Hartford Fire Insurance Company
-Lumbermen's Mutual Casualty Company
We have filed a motion for summary judgement in the case against the insurers. If we
do not receive a favorable summary judgement, we will continue to pursue these
claims vigorously.
We will learn and apply the lessons from this experience.
We are reassessing our policy regarding the use of surety bonds.
We are re-evaluating the use of other risk management techniques to manage our
largest investment-grade credits.
We are reviewing the Enron events to gain insights that will help us to improve our
assessment and management of clients and credit in the future
February 28, 2002
JPMorgan Partners (JPMP) is a long-term value creation proposition.

Factual Highlights
The performance of the private equity business needs to be evaluated over several
years, not on a quarter-by-quarter basis.
JPMP has been negatively impacted by the downturn in the global economy.
JPMorgan Chase is continuing to take steps to manage risk within the private equity
portfolio including reducing total capital commitments and limiting exposure to specific
sectors.
The performance of the private equity business needs to be evaluated over several
years, not on a quarter-by-quarter basis.
JPMP wrote down $1.3B in 2001. For the full year, private equity losses totaled $1.18B,
compared to $988 million in gains in 2000.
Results in Q4 2001 reflected JPMP's losses on private equity investments of $385

million. This included $74 million from JPMP's portfolio, $173 million from investments
in 3rd party private equity funds, and $138 million from portfolio hedging activities.
The business can only be properly evaluated taking a long-term view. Since its
inception in 1984, JPMP has delivered top quartile returns in comparison with the
private equity industry.
The internal rate of return (sequential cash-on-cash) since 1984 has been 45%. Over
the same time period, the fair value IRR, which includes realized gains and losses,
mark-to-market adjustments on public securities and write-downs on the private
portfolio, was 36%.
Renewed economic growth, more constructive capital markets and more active
corporate mergers and acquisitions will prompt improved performance.
JPMP has been negatively impacted by the downturn in the global economy.
JPMP maintained flat investment pace in third-party fund investments in 2001, and will
continue to use secondary market sales to manage the portfolio to a flat growth
target.
Direct private equity investment pace anticipated at up to about $1.5B per year in
2002 ($.9B in 2001 per annual report), down from over $3B in 2000.
As of December 31, 2001, JPMP's third-party fund exposure was $4.2B ($1.9B book
value; $2.3B unfunded commitments), reduced 14% from December 31, 2000.
JPMorgan Chase is continuing to take steps to manage risk within the private equity
portfolio.
We are reducing the amount of capital committed to JPMP. The firm's balance sheet
exposure to direct private equity has declined, falling 22% from $9.4B to $7.3B in
2001, driven by valuation actions and slower investment pace.
JPMP has decreased its exposure to the technology/media/telecommunications (TMT)

sector to 27% of book value of the portfolio at year-end 2001, compared with 35% at
year-end 2000.
JPMP will continue to diversify the portfolio and reduce exposure to TMT and increase
the industrial and consumer sectors.

CHAPTER 19
THE BECHTEL CORPORATION
Bechtel is one of the world's largest engineering-construction firms. Founded in 1898, we

provide premier technical, management, and directly related services to develop, manage,
engineer, build, and operate installations for our customers worldwide.
Our 50,000 employees are teamed with customers, partners, and suppliers on 950 projects
in 67 countries. In 2001, we booked $9.3 billion in new business and worked off $13.4
billion in revenue.
Continually seeking to innovate and improve, Bechtel is the only major engineering and
construction company to use Six Sigma, a problem-solving methodology to identify and
eliminate errors in critical processes.
Bechtel is privately owned and in its fourth generation of Bechtel family leadership.
In 1998, our organization observed 100 years of building. It's a legacy that began with
W.A. Bechtel's work grading railroad beds in 1898 and continues to this very moment on
hundreds of job sites around the world.
Since 1898, four generations of Bechtels have led our privately held business through
20,000 projects in 140 nations on all seven continents. These accomplishments range
from the San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) system to pioneering efforts in
nuclear power and program management for Hong Kong's new airport and associated
infrastructure.
Bechtel people have established an unrivaled reputation for excellence. Our work has
improved the quality of life for countless individuals, and demonstrated time and again
that the only limits on human achievement are those which we place on ourselves.
Chronology
The beginning
Warren A. Bechtel performed his first construction work in 1898, grading railroad beds
with a mule-drawn scraper in Oklahoma Territory. By 1906 W.A. Bechtel was contracting
on railroad jobs up and down the Pacific coast of the United States. Soon the W.A.
Bechtel Co. was also building roads, tunnels, bridges, and dams. Customers responded to
W.A.'s work ethic, and the business prospered. W.A. himself put it succinctly: "When you
can't trust a man's word you can't trust his signature."
To get the work done efficiently, W.A. learned to rely on the most modern methods
available, a Bechtel tradition that continues to this day. Early on W.A. mastered the steam
shovel, and he and his sons pioneered such applications as dump trucks and tractors right
on the job site. His final project introduced perhaps the most significant innovation of all.
1930-1960
In 1931 W.A. helped put together one of the industry's first large-scale joint ventures, the
Six Companies consortium that built Hoover Dam. Son Stephen took over as president
when W.A. passed away in 1933. Assuming his duties in the midst of the Hoover Dam
project, Steve's management efforts helped workers finish the job two years ahead of
schedule.
An associate once remarked that Steve Bechtel could "conjure up a vision of the future at
an instant's notice." Steve himself is reported to have said, without boasting, "We can
build anything, anytime, anywhere."
Indeed, he built Bechtel into a global concern, landing projects on all seven continents
and expanding the portfolio of work to include areas such as pipelines, petroleum and
chemicals, mining and metals, and power. Steve Bechtel pioneered the concept of the
turnkey project, and took on monumental tasks such as the Trans-Arabian pipeline, as
well as innovative efforts like the Dresden nuclear power plant in Illinois, the industry's
first privately financed facility.
1960-Present
Stephen Bechtel, Jr. became president in 1960, upon his father's retirement from active
service. Steve Jr. ushered in the era of the "megaproject." Always employing the latest
techniques and technology, Steve Jr. led a team that designed and built extraordinarily
complex projects worldwide, including numerous refineries, offshore platforms, transit
systems, mining developments, and nuclear and fossil-fired power plants. Landmark
projects included Jubail Industrial City in Saudi Arabia, the James Bay hydroelectric
plant in Quebec, and Northern California's BART rapid transit system.
Today Riley P. Bechtel continues the firm foundation of family leadership, as the fourth
generation to lead the company during the past century. As president since his father
retired from line duties in 1990, Riley has overseen an era abundant with potential.
Recent Bechtel efforts include the Channel Tunnel Rail Link (UK), managing the Idaho
National Engineering and Environmental Laboratory (INEEL) for the U.S. Department of
Energy, ExxonMobil's Singapore Chemical Complex (Singapore), building automated
warehouses for e-business retail grocer Webvan (U.S.), Viatel's Circe Pan-European
Network (Europe), the Mayakan Pipeline (Mexico), the Meizhou Wan power plant
(China), the Collahuasi copper project (Chile), Space Launch Complex 3 (California), the
Reliance oil refinery (India), the Raglan nickel and copper complex (Canada), and the
Boyne Island aluminum smelter (Australia).
Jubail
Saudi Arabia 1976-present
Since the mid-1970s, Bechtel has been at work for the Royal Commission for Jubail and
Yanbu, helping build a modern metroplex at the site of what was once a fishing village on
the Arabian Gulf. Now the 360-square-mile (930-square-kilometer) area includes a
complete industrial and residential infrastructure, 16 primary industries, and a planned
community expected to house as many as 370,000 people.
Jubail traces its origins as much to the imaginations of the Saudi royal family and Steve
Bechtel Sr. as to Saudi Arabia's rich deposits of oil and gas. Steve Sr. saw gas being
flared off each year and wondered what could be done with it. At the same time, King
Faisal was looking for an opportunity to move his country beyond a natural resource
economy to a more diversified one.
The initial concept was to use natural gas as a power source, then build industries that
were either heavy power users, natural gas-based, or both. A planned city would provide
housing and residential amenities for workers and their families. Another, smaller effort
was undertaken at Yanbu on the Red Sea coast. But as the original $8 billion program
started to take shape in 1977, the Saudis began thinking on an even bigger scale, making
Jubail the largest civil engineering project on Earth. Even the site preparation work was
impressive: The mean elevation of the entire area had to be raised about 2 meters.
The first step was to build infrastructure, starting with a power supply. A network of
highways, an airport, and housing were designed and constructed from scratch. A
telecommunications system was built, as well as a seawater cooling system that could
generate a water supply equal to two-thirds the annual flow of the Tigris and Euphrates
rivers. Bechtel would help with an industrial port and others would build a commercial
one.
The first primary industry, the steel mill, came on-line in 1982. It would be followed by
refineries, petrochemical plants, and more than a dozen industrial plants making
everything from fertilizer and plastics to a range of petrochemicals and petroleum
products. This vast and constantly expanding industrial base has made Jubail a major
force in world petrochemical markets. By the time a 15-year development review was
completed in 1992, Jubail's 70,000 residents had 22 schools, 14 shopping centers, and
more than 300 commercial businesses.
But the Saudis were interested in getting more than factories and offices. They wanted to
build the capabilities of their own people, too, through a technology transfer and training
program.
Jubail is still a work in progress, and Bechtel will continue to be part of it. Recognizing
20 years of successful management, the Royal Commission in 1996 extended its
agreement with Bechtel for another decade.
Background:
http://www.rcjy.gov.sa/
On 21 September 1975, the Royal Commission for Jubail and Yanbu (RCJY) was
established as an autonomous organization of the Saudi Government. The Commission is
governed by a Board of Directors and its Chairman reports to the Council of Ministers.
The Chairmans office in Riyadh formulates the policies and oversees them besides
implementing the same through the two Directorate Generals, one each for the cities of
Jubail and Yanbu.
Mission:
The mandate of the RCJY is to implement the physical and social infrastructure required
for the development of Jubail and Yanbu areas as industrial cities. Specifically, the RCJY
mission is the following:
-To promote, assist, service and otherwise encourage the development of basic,
downstream and light industries that would utilize the Kingdoms natural resources to
produce value added products for local use and export;
-To plan, develop, construct, operate and maintain the various infrastructure and services
needed for the above industries and for the people working in these industries;
-To encourage the use and enhancement of the skills and talents of the Saudi citizens in
the above activities;
-To maintain a balance between industrial development and environmental safety that is
compatible with sustainable development;
-To encourage the participation of local and foreign private investment;
-To work in liaison with other agencies such as Saudi Aramco, the Seaports Authority and
others to facilitate the availability of feedstock and other services needed by the
industries;
-To function as a City Manager responsible for the safety and security of the entire
industrial area under its jurisdiction.
Accomplishments:
Pursuant to its Charter, the RCJY has developed and constructed a number of utility and
other systems that provide the needed services to the industry and the community.
Theseinclude the Seawater supply systems, the Potable and Waste Water systems,
transport and telecommunication network, the community and other associated services.
In the city of Yanbu, the RCJY generates and supplies electrical power in addition to the
other services.
The overall development of Jubail and Yanbu accomplished with an investment of $20
billion has witnessed the creation of over 200 industries that have invested over $42
billion, providing employment for over 85.000 workers. The 157,000 residents of the two
cities enjoy world class amenities and security.
Kuwait (1991)
When Bechtel arrived in war-ravaged Kuwait in March 1991, experts predicted that
quelling the oil field inferno and restoring production of hydrocarbons would take up to
five years. It took less than half that time. Bechtel orchestrated the massive effort by
mobilizing an international force of more than 16,000 workers to put out the 650
wellhead fires, stop the gushing flow of oil, and help resurrect the Kuwait oil fields. In
addition, after Iraq escalated its war on the environment by releasing more than 11
million barrels of oil into the Arabian Gulf, Bechtel swiftly coordinated the effort to clean
up the waters and the shores of the Gulf. The result was the most successful oil recovery
in history. Thirteen percent of the original 11 million barrels spilled was recovered,
compared to 8 or 9 percent recovered in most operations of this type. Although experts
estimated it would take decades for a complete environmental recovery, by mid-1991 the
effects of the cleanup effort were clearly visible as fish and dolphin returned to swim in
the waters of the Gulf.
Details
Just as the world watched in horror as Kuwait was laid to waste, so did it watch in
wonder as Kuwait was made whole again. A Bechtel-led international workforce took a
mere nine months to cap 750 damaged or burning oil wells, which was only a prelude.
During the follow-up project, another Bechtel-led team rehabilitated the oil fields'
gathering and processing capacity and much of the infrastructure, swiftly restoring oil
production to preinvasion levels. The Bechtel-led team redrilled wells; rebuilt offshore
export piers; laid more than 2,000 kilometers of pipe; and reconstructed storage tanks,
administration buildings, warehouses, and tank farms. It also rebuilt 22 gathering centers,
one of which was designed in Kuwait, fabricated in Texas, shipped to Kuwait as modules,
and installed--all in just eight months. To support the operation, an entire
telecommunications system consisting of 6,500 telephones and portable radios was
installed. All in, the project required 16,000 workers and 6,000 pieces of construction
equipment.
Progress was rapid. The first postwar oil, pumped through two of the original 26
gathering centers, began flowing May 26, 1991. By December, Kuwait Oil Company was
producing 400,000 barrels of oil per day. One year later, production capacity had been
restored to prewar levels of more than 2.1 million barrels per day. By April 1993, Bechtel
crews reclaimed more than 11 million barrels of weathered crude from oil pits and lakes,
using vacuum trucks and pipelines to pump it directly to the Mina Al-Ahmadi refinery
and field treatment plants. By the end of June 1993, 18 of the original gathering centers
were back in operation, with all production goals achieved.
Hong Kong International Airport (Hong Kong 1990-98)

Hong Kong International Airport, which opened in 1998, was the cornerstone of a
remarkable 10-part, US$20 billion infrastructure development known as the Hong Kong
Airport Core Programme. The new airport was designed to alleviate some of the
congestion associated with Hong Kong's continuous growth as the center of business for
greater Asia, and the commercial gateway to China. The mammoth undertaking involved
4 major sponsors, 10 separate projects, 225 construction contracts, and over 1,000 critical
interfaces. A new transportation corridor stretches 34 kilometers from Hong Kong Island
to the site of Hong Kong International Airport: a high-speed rail system, two tunnels, two
bridges, and a six-lane expressway. Operations were moved from the existing Kai Tak
Airport to Hong Kong International during a single night in July 1998, a task that
required coordinated operation of some 1,200 vehicles and convoy of barges. Despite the
enormous complexity, flight and passenger processing met operational standards before
the end of the first week, and cargo operations were on track soon after. An integrated
Bechtel-government team delivered its projects on or ahead of schedule and achieved
program budget savings of more than US$1 billion.
Details
When the British handed over sovereignty of Hong Kong to the People's Republic of
China in June 1997, the transfer included the nearly completed Hong Kong International
Airport. Hong Kong's harried travelers would finally find relief from the busy Kai Tak
Airport, where jets landed between neighboring high-rises. Kai Tak, with an official
capacity of 24 million passengers, handled nearly 30 million in 1997; the new airport
accommodates 35 million before a second runway and future expansions are completed.
Since it was impossible to build an airport in an island city where every square inch of
land is already stacked with high-rise buildings, the only solution was to grind two small,
remote islands down to sea level, build an artificial island, and then lay a state-of-the-art
airport over that. The airport island would have to be connected to the mainland by
highways and mass transit. With so much on its plate, Hong Kong's New Airport Projects
Coordination Office (NAPCO) brought in Bechtel as a program management consultant.
With Bechtel's assistance, NAPCO took a rigorous approach and completed the vast
undertaking on time and with budget savings in excess of a billion dollars.

Economic Reciprocity Banking Industry Report Card

Economic Reciprocity Initiative
The NAACP Economic Reciprocity Initiative (ERI) was launched in 1996 as a sustained consumer movement measuring
corporate America's commitment to African-American citizens and other people of color. ERI targeted companies are surveyed
for their activity in employment, vendor development and contracting, advertising and marketing, equity
investment/community involvement, and philanthropy.
Banking Industry Report Card (Year 2)

This is the second year of measuring the financial services industry. This report card focuses on full-service, large commercial
banks with revenue of at least $5 billion. Eleven banks were included in this review and the industry has scored an overall
grade of 2.26 (C).
The NAACP's second survey on this industry reveals that the Community Reinvestment Act, which resulted from the lobbying
of grass-roots organizations against the discriminatory practices of financial institutions, and other fair lending laws continue
to create greater access to financial services and to encourage national bank involvement in community development. Also,
although branch banking later proved to the industry to be the most stable source of revenue income, the plethora of mergers
and acquisitions in the industry from the late 1990's left consumers with less neighborhood branches and less choices.
Moreover, studies at the end of 2001 revealed that contrary to the initial claims of better fees and services by these large
conglomerate financial institutions, the bigger the bank, the higher the fees charged to consumers. This report thus provides
consumers with the tools for empowerment, enabling them to make the most of the choices they have left in the continuing
volatile market of the finance world.
Consumer Alert
In this era of financial modernization and tremendous change in the financial services industry, protecting consumer rights is
of paramount importance. With regard to financial services, we must be diligent about the provision of basic banking products
and financial data privacy for all communities. However, we must also look further to other opportunities within selected
industries that will lead to sustained economic growth for minority populations. While the NAACP intends to keep monitoring
the financial services sector for progress and advancement, consumers are encouraged to utilize this guide in making informed
choices about where to spend and invest their dollars.

Economic Reciprocity Telecommunication
Industry Report Card
corporate America's commitment to the African-American citizenry and other people of color. ERI targeted companies are
surveyed for their activity in employment, vendor development and contracting, advertising and marketing, equity investment
and ownership, and philanthropy.
Telecommunications Report Card

This Report Card pertains to the Telecommunications Industry. Telecommunications is one of the largest industries in the
United States and represents more than $300 trillion dollars. Measurement of this industry began in 1998 and involved 18
companies that were the top providers of long distance, local and cellular telephone service. Today, after numerous mergers
and acquisitions, that number has decreased and only 10 companies were surveyed in this report.
One of the primary purposes of this initiative is to educate consumers on how this industry impacts day-to-day
communications and how the individual consumer decision on spending priorities impacts the decisions of these corporations
regarding products, services and costs back to the consumer. There is also a need to ensure that services are available in
African-American and underserved communities and that there is access to advanced telecommunications and information
services. We also need to ensure that local schools and libraries have access to the global communications environment. If
technology is not deployed to our local schools and libraries, the economic empowerment of our community is affected.
Without ample competition in the industry and options for consumer choice, creating a climate where these concerns are met
can become increasingly difficult. The African American community must leverage its consumer power for our own economic
empowerment.
Collectively, the industry's performance averages a 2.43 (C) grade, with advertising/marketing and vendor relations still
presenting the greatest challenges for the industry overall. The industry is most responsive in the categories of employment
opportunities and service deployment and is generally fairing well in the category of charitable giving. However, 2001
witnessed a decline in growth of the telecom industry and many corporations were forced to curtail their spending as a result
of the slowing economy.

The primary focus of the NAACP continues to be the protection and enhancement of the civil
rights of African Americans and other minorities. Membership, the lifeblood of the Association, is
open to anyone believing in the basic tenets of the NAACP. Branch and Field Services supervises
the regional offices and is in charge of providing the branches with all relevant information,
investigating problem situations, making recommendations to the Board of Directors and
providing a variety of support services. The NAACP believes strongly that future leaders must be
developed today, and such development is ongoing in the Youth and College Division. The Legal
Department operates with a mission focusing on class actions and other cases of broad
significance and impact. The Washington Bureau, established in 1941 as the legislative arm of
the Association, is one of the primary forces in the nation's capital lobbying for civil rights. More
than 20 years ago, the NAACP embarked upon a program strategy focusing on the private sector
as a foundation for economic advancement for African Americans. There are more than
12,000,000 registered African American voters. Believing that "a voteless people is a hopeless
people", the NAACP's voter empowerment efforts work tirelessly to achieve full political
empowerment for African Americans.
Formed in 1909, by a multiracial group of progressive thinkers, the National Association

for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) is a non-profit organization
established with the objective of insuring the political, educational, social and economic
equality of minority groups. The NAACP has as its mission the goal of eliminating race
prejudice and removing all barriers of racial discrimination through democratic
processes.
As the nation's oldest and largest civil rights organization, the NAACP has worked
successfully with allies of all races who believe in and stand for the principles on which
the organization was founded. Throughout its history, some of America's greatest minds
have worked to effect change.
From corprate partnerships to tireless volunteer labor, the NAACP has evolved to meet
the challenges of the day, while remaining true to its original mission. With renewed
commitment, the new NAACP is poised to meet the challenges of the 21st century.
Affirmative Action Tops NAACP List

By Michael A. Fletcher
Washington Post Staff Writer
Tuesday, July 14, 1998; Page A03
ATLANTA, July, 13Declaring that "race and skin color" still dominate every aspect of
American life, NAACP President Kweisi Mfume said today that protecting the nation's
embattled affirmative action programs must remain at the top of the civil rights group's
agenda.
Speaking before several thousand NAACP members gathered here for the organization's
89th annual convention, Mfume credited affirmative action with sparking the explosive
growth of the black middle class in the past 30 years. Consequently, he said, efforts to
eliminate the programs amount to an attack on black progress. "We are not going to let
these years of progress be taken away from us without a fight," Mfume said.
Mfume also dismissed as "house Negroes" African Americans who stand in the forefront
of efforts to dismantle affirmative action programs. Both Ward Connerly, who founded an
organization to dismantle affirmative action programs nationwide, and Supreme Court
Justice Clarence Thomas, who has been steadfast in his opposition to affirmative action,
are black and have been regularly criticized by civil rights leaders for their positions. But
in comments to reporters following his speech, Mfume would not say to whom his
comments were directed, saying only that they applied to whomever goes "out there" to
oppose affirmative action as if representing all African Americans.
Mfume also had harsh words for the entire Supreme Court, calling the justices
"hypocrites" for issuing rulings that minimize the need for affirmative action while
showing little regard for racial diversity in their own hiring. Mfume said that only a small
percentage of Supreme Court law clerks are minorities. Meanwhile, he said, the Supreme
Court has issued a series of rulings that have limited many affirmative action programs.
"The Supreme Court ought to be ashamed of itself," Mfume said.
Mfume's comments underscored the importance the NAACP attaches to affirmative
action, one of the nation's most contentious racial issues. They came one day after
NAACP Chairman Julian Bond offered a spirited defense of affirmative action.
Many conservatives have attacked affirmative action programs, saying they only
perpetuate the nation's long history of racial division.
The NAACP and its allies have been successful in defeating legislative attempts to end
affirmative action in 14 states, according to the Southern Regional Council, a civil rights
think tank. But affirmative action opponents have had one huge victory: the 1996 passage
of Proposition 209, which outlawed most government affirmative action programs in
California.
Affirmative action opponents also have succeeded in the nation's courts. Through rulings
in recent years, the courts have ended some set-aside programs in government
contracting, prompted new rules on minority procurement in the federal government and
eliminated some affirmative action programs in higher education.
Mfume acknowledged that there is little the NAACP can do on that front except to
attempt to embarrass jurists in "the court of public opinion." But he said the NAACP
could redouble its advocacy efforts by registering voters, meeting with political
candidates and joining in coalitions to protect affirmative action programs. For instance,
he said, the group has given $50,000 to an effort to defeat an anti-affirmative action ballot
initiative that goes before voters in Washington state in November.
Mfume called those efforts vital to the advancement of African Americans. Pointing to a
long list of examples, from studies demonstrating that some black job applicants are
given less consideration than whites, to the settlement of racial bias lawsuits against
business giants Denny's Inc. and Texaco, Mfume said bigotry continues to thrive in
America.

COMMENTARY:
The NAACP seems like a good thing at first, an organization dedicated to fighting
against racial discrimination of whites against blacks and minorities, however, over the
course of time, this organization would in itself become a racist organization plotting the
overthrow of Corporations by replacing white people with their own race. This is no
longer about EQUALITY, but infiltration and domination. As a white man having to
work with black women in HR of two major companies, black women who were in
charge of my hiring, they let me go in a discriminatory fashion because I was white.
Dont kid yourselves: Eventually the NAACP became a corrupt institution bribed by
GRANTS submitted to them by THE FORD FOUNDATION and THE
ROCKEFELLERS and this was a contribution, not to equality, but to even more racial
division.
I believe in EQUALITY FOR EVERYONE, however, if you observe the types of
LAWSUITS that the NAACP has been fighting, it is clear that they are just another
organization devoted to the destruction of white male European Americans and their
corporations which they worked so hard to build for the security of their own families
and so instead of blending into society with an equal frame of mind, the NAACP are
grooming blacks against whites and that is what THE NAACP represents a blank
panther mentality.
They dont represent DOCTOR MARTIN LUTHER KINGS DREAM of racial equality,
but they represent racial discrimination, what is called REVERSE DISCRIMINATION
and AFFIRMATIVE ACTION was designed to take jobs away from working white men
to hand over to racists, such as the TWO AFRICAN AMERICAN WOMEN WHO
FIRED ME for discriminatory reasons.
My father and myself could not get a job anywhere because of AFFIRMATIVE
ACTION and the NAACP policies of racial preference dominating over skills and
experience.
DONT BE FOOLED! Yes, Jesus demands racial equality and love and if the
NAACP was concerned about EQUALITY they would eliminate AFFIRMATIVE
ACTION and demand that ALL RACES be employed on the basis of their skills,
education, and experience, versus a STATUS QUO based on race or ethnicity.

A Brief History of the Aspen Institute

The history of Aspen isthe history of American culture at the mid-century and
after.James Sloan Allen, The Romance of Commerce and Culture, 1983
Chicago businessman Walter Paepcke (1896-1960), chairman of the Container
Corporation of America, first visited Aspen, Colorado in 1945. Inspired by its great
natural beauty, he envisioned it as an ideal gathering place for thinkers, leaders, artists,
and musicians from all over the world to step away from their daily routines and reflect
on the underlying values of society and culture. He dreamed of transforming the town
into a center for dialogue, a place for lifting us out of our usual selves, as one visitor to
Paepckes Aspen would put it.
To make this dream real, in 1949 Paepcke made Aspen the site for a celebration of the
200th birthday of German poet and philosopher Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. The 20day gathering attracted such prominent intellectuals and artists as Albert Schweitzer, Jose
Ortega y Gasset, Thornton Wilder, and Artur Rubinstein, along with members of the
international press and more than 2,000 other attendees.
The next year, Paepcke created what is now the Aspen Institute. He was a trustee of the
University of Chicago, and his participation in its Great Books seminar, led by
philosopher Mortimer Adler, inspired the Institutes Executive Seminar. The seminar is a
forum based on the writings of great thinkers of the past and present. Through reading
and discussing selections from the works of classic and modern writers, leaders better
understand the human challenges facing the organizations and communities they serve.
The Executive Seminar was not intended to make a corporate treasurer a more skilled
corporate treasurer, said Paepcke, but to help a leader gain access to his or her own
humanity by becoming more self-aware, more self-correcting, and more self-fulfilling.
The Aspen Institute also gave rise to the Aspen Music Festival and the annual
International Design Conference. In 1951, it was the sponsor of a national photography
conference attended by the countrys most accomplished photographers, from Ansel
Adams and Dorothea Lange to Ben Shahn and Berenice Abbott. During the sixties and
seventies, the Institute added other new organizations, programs, and conferences in an
effort to extend the meaning of humanistic studies. They included the Aspen Center for
Physics and a range of programs that concentrated on education, communications, justice,
Asian thought, science, technology, the environment, and international affairs.
In 1979, Corning Glass industrialist and philanthropist Arthur A. Houghton, Jr. donated to
the Aspen Institute a thousand-acre parcel on the Wye River on Marylands Eastern
Shore. The location now hosts the Aspen Wye River Conference Center. Its three distinct
facilities near the Chesapeake Bay provide another setting for Aspen-style reflection and
dialogue.
Aspen Institute events have attracted presidents, statesmen, diplomats, judges,
ambassadors, and Nobel laureates over the years, enriching and enlivening the Institute as
a global forum for leaders.
Today the Aspen Institute seminar programs have expanded to include sessions such as
Leading Change and Executive Seminar Asia. The Institute supports 15 policy programs
directed by leading policymakers and practitioners. The programs explore topics such as
international peace and security, democracy and citizenship; economic opportunity; social
innovation through business; the nonprofit sector; and community initiatives for children
and families.

ANNUAL REPORT
August 2002
Dear Friends:
The mission of the Aspen Institute is to leverage the power of leaders to improve the
human condition. We work with leaders not because they are more important than other
human beings they are not but because the human condition depends so profoundly
on how well they perform their roles and responsibilities.We believe that with power
comes responsibility, to make wise decisions and envision a better world.This is why
leaders come to the Aspen Institute.And, given the political, economic, and
social challenges facing the world today, our work has never been more important.
In 2001, the Institutes seminar and policy programs focused on such topics as
Leadership and Character, The Challenges of Global Capitalism, In Search of the
Public Interest in the New Media Environment, "Transforming the American High
School, and From Values to Advocacy: U.S. Engagement in an Interdependent World.
The events of September 11 moved us to create new initiatives, most visually
demonstrated by the Great Collisions program,Islam and the West, excerpts from
which have been nationally broadcast on PBS. Despite the volatility of 2001, I am
pleased to report that the Institutes financial position remains strong.
And we remain committed to securing the long-term financial health of the organization,
to enable us to continue creating innovative programs in response to rapidly changing
times. We are grateful to our supporters people who believe in enlightened, morally
responsible leadership and are committed to strengthening the work and expanding the
impact of the Aspen Institute.
Sincerely,
Elmer W. Johnson
The Aspen Institute Policy Programs have achieved an international reputation

as effective and impartial fora for constructive dialogue on significant policy issues. The
Policy Programs seek to improve public and private sector policy decision making by
providing a neutral venue for leaders to engage in informed dialogue and inquiry on the
complex, important issues of our time. Through a variety of activities, the Policy
Programs help leaders understand critical issues and choices, including the competing
values that inform these choices, in order to encourage more informed, values-based
policy making. By developing new thinking, options, recommendations, and initiatives,
the Policy Programs seek constructive solutions within the policy making process.
Financial support for the Policy Programs comes primarily from philanthropic foundation
grants and, in a few programs, from corporate grants.
The Policy Programs range in size, activity, methodology, and subject matter.
Currently, they are:
The Aspen Strategy Group

Communications and Society Program
Community Strategies Group (Formerly the Rural Economic Policy Program)
Congressional Program
Domestic Strategy Group
Economic Opportunities Program
Program on Education in a Changing Society
Program on Energy, the Environment, and the Economy
Global Interdependence Initiative
Initiative for Social Innovation through Business (Aspen ISIB)
Justice and Society Program
Nonprofit Sector and Philanthropy Program
Roundtable on Comprehensive Community Initiatives for Children and
Families
Program on the World Economy
GLOBAL INTERDEPENDENCE INITIATIVE

Knowledge, technologies, social innovations and economic opportunities move across an
increasingly borderless world. Climate change, epidemics, ethnic conflict and economic
crises do not respect national boundaries. Public opinion data suggest that the American
public grasps these truths and in principle supports the United Nations and other
cooperative multilateral responses to global challenges. On the other hand, U.S. actions
and Congressional pronouncements often express resistance or opposition.
The Global Interdependence Initiative (Initiative) was launched in early 1999 and is
conceived as a ten-year effort to better inform, and more effectively motivate, American
public support for forms of U.S. international engagement that are appropriate to an
interdependent world. Its founding partners and collaborating agencies believe that global
interdependence requires an approach to international engagement that better balances
military, economic, and environmental and humanitarian concerns and is more consistent
with key American values such as fairness, democratic participation and generosity. Such
an approach would serve both the majority of humanity and long-term American
interests.
The projects origins lie in evidence of a significant gap between the publics values
concerning Americas global engagement and the actions and decisions of policymakers.
Polls show consistently that the public supports an active role for the United States in
world affairs, a strong United Nations, and the sharing of responsibility with other
nations. But these views are held more passively than actively and seem to have little
influence on policymakers or on their perception of public opinion. This leaves the public
with the feeling that these issues are beyond its reach, and with only sporadic
opportunities to address international issues, usually in response to humanitarian appeals
and military crises.
The problem is proving to be more complicated than a simple misreading of the public by
policymakers, however. For example, research sponsored by the Initiative shows that the
media followed by most Americans offers a view of the world that lacks context and
treats foreign affairs in an episodic fashion, without causality or accountability.
Earthquakes and coups simply happen; American aid, humanitarian or military, arrives to
rescue helpless, hapless others overseas. Emphasis on American assistance to crisis
victims meant to inspire public interest portrays the United States in a role far
removed from the reality of diminishing aid levels and increasing capacity in developing
countries. Lacking comparable reinforcement from the media, other frames that might
offer a more realistic view of the world, and positive possibilities for addressing global
issues, wither away.
To this end, the Initiative has commissioned research into how organizations can
communicate about global issues in ways that the public will hear and act upon in
constructive ways. Through regranted funds and technical assistance to the organizations
represented in its Working Group, the Initiative supports outreach to diverse
constituencies. The Initiative also works directly with policymakers, the media, and
others who shape Americas response to global interdependence.
In this way, the Initiative hopes to shape a broad public consensus on the implications of
global interdependence and the positive role that America can play as a result. From this
consensus improved policies and programs should emerge from policymakers and
relevant organizations for promoting global poverty reduction, health, environmental

protection, communications across cultures and cooperation on behalf of peace. The
Initiative's role is not in developing these specific policies and programs but in helping
create a public environment in which they will flourish.
A three-person staff led by Princeton Lyman, former Assistant Secretary of State for
International Organization Affairs, is based at the Aspen Institute. The staff provides the
Initiatives project direction, oversees consultants, convenes its Working Group and
specialized committees, commissions communications research, and provides technical
and financial support to Working Group members as they reshape their messages and
public campaigns.
Working Group members come from inter alia the US Chamber of Commerce, Women's
EDGE, the AFL-CIO, Africare, Human Rights Watch, the Sierra Club, and the
Conference Board. (See the complete GII Working Group). Memberships of these
organizations overlap, but among them they represent tens of millions of Americans.
Working Group members differ in their policy priorities. All of them, however, are
disadvantaged by a disengaged public, in the words of one member. The Initiative
promotes collaborative work among them towards the shared goal of engaging the public,
often bringing organizations together around shared goals and outcomes.. Meetings of the
Working Group include facilitated dialogue concerning divisive issues. These dialogues
will help identify shared policy goals for future activity.
In its first two years, the Initiative commissioned extensive strategic communications
research, under the direction of the FrameWorks Institute and the Benton Foundation,
with the goal of better understanding what Americans currently believe about global
issues and about the U.S. role in the world, why Americans believe what they do, and
how to communicate more effectively with the American public about international
problems and approaches to their solution. The Initiative's director, David Devlin-Foltz,
summarized key lessons of the research for hunger activists in a chapter of Foreign Aid to
End Hunger, a publication of Bread for the World.
FrameWorks translated the research into the first Initiative toolkit for communications
professionals, Talking Global Interdependence. Distributed in early April 2001, the
toolkit includes examples of how to reframe speeches, flyers, campaign announcements,
responses to radio call-in questions, and success stories about a project in the field.
Two workshops for communications professionals during the spring of 2001 offered
opportunities to understand, practice applying, and test the techniques and tools.
The most important test of this research, however, will come through a series of
experimental projects for which the Initiative is providing partial funding and technical
assistance over the course of 2001 and 2001. The re-granting projects are intended to help
member organizations refine or develop new outreach to their diverse audiences of
policymakers, media, opinion leaders, and grassroots members, and to apply the new
frames to the specific policy or program focus of the organizations. The Initiative has
awarded six grants totaling $350,000 in its first round of activity. A listserv hosted by the
Institute and staffed by FrameWorks will assist the re-grant projects and other efforts by
communications specialists from the Working Group members.
The Initiatives informal consultations suggest that sympathetic elected officials, thinktank pundits, journalists, businesspeople and NGO leaders are intrigued by the Initiatives
communications research. Many welcome its implications for their ability to develop and
defend policies with a more humanistic, global focus. The Initiative has begun to convene
meetings with media, policy makers and policy analysts, including Working Group
members, to explore how the Initiatives research and experience might shape the way
these opinion leaders connect global issues to core values and garner public support for
the type of policies that would result. The Initiative will, in turn, be able to refine its
communications efforts and policy goals to take account of insights from these opinion
leaders.
Congressional Program
Director: Dick Clark
The Congressional Program is a nonpartisan educational program designed to foster
leadership on public policy issues among members of the United States Congress. Since
its inception in 1985, the Program has focused primarily on foreign policy and has grown
to be a valued educational resource for leading U.S. lawmakers. Nearly 200 members of
Congress have participated in 51 conferences. For a decade, activities concentrated on
four areas: the Soviet Union and its successor states, Eastern Europe, Indochina, and
southern Africa. Subsequently, major initiatives were launched on multilateral diplomacy
and cooperative security (including the global environment, United Nations peacekeeping
and international economics); U.S.-China relations; U.S. policy toward Cuba; and a
domestic project on children and education in America.
Currently, the Program conducts five projects: U.S. relations with the successor states of
the Soviet Union, U.S.-China relations, the global environment, U.S. policy toward Latin
America, and education in America. Acting as a neutral convener, the Congressional
Program brings together members of the U.S. House of Representatives and Senate with
internationally recognized scholars and prominent world leaders to discuss critical public
policy issues. Over the course of several days, members of Congress have an opportunity
to gain in-depth knowledge of selected subjects and to explore various options for U.S.
policy. In addition to major conferences, the Program sponsors breakfast meetings for
congressional participants featuring experts on an array of topics.
Participation in Congressional Program conferences is by invitation only.
The Economic Opportunities Program advances strategies that connect the poor and
underemployed to the mainstream economy. We believe that alleviating poverty requires
changing systems and transforming an individuals relationship to money, work and
assets. We facilitate participatory learning using applied research to stimulate dialogue

and action among funders, policymakers and non-profit and community leaders.
The Economic Opportunities Program includes these projects:
Workforce Strategies Initiative (WSI) is committed to evaluating and documenting the
operating strategies and performance outcomes of employment programs that take an
industry-specific approach to workforce development. We design, conduct and
disseminate original research to foster understanding and discussion of this approach and
we facilitate dialogue among leaders interested and engaged in workforce development
issues. WSI builds on the earlier work of EOP's Sectoral Employment Development
Learning Project, which helped define the approach of industry-specific (or sectoral)
employment development, and demonstrated the potential of this strategy to provide lowincome individuals with viable pathways to economic self-sufficiency.
Funding is provided entirely by philanthropic foundations. In 2001, support comes
from: Carnegie Corporation of New York, the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur
Foundation, the Ford Foundation, the W. K. Kellogg Foundation, the Rockefeller
Foundation, the Henry Luce Foundation, the Christopher Reynolds Foundation, the
Wallace Global Fund, the Asia Foundation, and Ploughshares Fund.
Leaders, by definition, are restless. They are constantly envisioning a better organization,
a better society, and a better world. The Aspen Institute is dedicated to developing
visionary, principle-centered leaders who have that kind of hunger and imagination.
Leaders who seek the Aspen Institute experience already have the technical knowledge to
run successful operations. They have mastered their areas of expertise, won the trust of
their peers, and are well versed in business case studies and management trends.
Executives who come to the Institute are looking for something beyond managerial
competence and technical skill. They aspire to lead organizations that will continue to be
world class long after their terms in office. Beyond building a stronger organization, they
aspire to make a significant, positive contribution to the larger society.
CEOs of Fortune 500 companies, leaders of high-tech companies, diplomats, city leaders,
world-renowned artists and writers gather at the Aspen Institute to address the challenges
of leadership. For the past fifty years, the Aspen Institute Executive Seminar has brought
together diverse groups of leaders to learn from each other and from some of the greatest
thinkers of all time. Today, the seminar programs have expanded to address corporate
responsibility, the character dimension of leadership, Asian cultures and values, and
dilemmas of the digital age. Aspen Institute participants often return every few years for
continued growth, development, and reflection with other leaders.

The State of the Workplace for Gays and Lesbians

by Kim I. Mills, Human Rights Campaign
Monster Contributing Writer
American workplaces have come a long way in the last 25 years. In 1975, AT&T became
the first US corporation to add sexual orientation to its nondiscrimination policy. Seven
years later, the Village Voice became the first employer to add same-sex domestic
partners to its health insurance benefits program.
Some gains have resulted from changing laws, but many are due to market forces and the
increasing sophistication with which gay and lesbian workers advocate for themselves. In
addition, more gays and lesbians are out in the open about their sexuality, both at work
and elsewhere in society, which has helped move public opinion in a positive direction.
The Private Sector
At least 2,162 U.S. employers have nondiscrimination policies covering sexual

orientation, and 4,463 offer health insurance benefits to employees' domestic partners.
And the higher a company is on the Fortune 500 list, the more likely it is to have both
domestic partner benefits and a written nondiscrimination policy covering sexual
orientation.
The Public Sector
The first state to pass a law against workplace discrimination based on sexual orientation
was Wisconsin in 1982. Eleven states have since followed suit, and eight states have
executive orders barring sexual orientation discrimination in their public workforces.
In an effort to attract and keep the best workers, scores of public employers have also
added domestic partner benefits. Today, eight states and 130 local governments and
quasi-governmental agencies offer such coverage to their employees' partners.
The federal government isn't quite keeping pace -- either with private industry or state
and local governments. Congress has yet to pass the Employment Nondiscrimination Act
(ENDA), a bill that would outlaw job discrimination based on sexual orientation. ENDA
was first introduced in 1994 and was voted out of a Senate committee for the first time
this past April. Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle (Democrat - South Dakota) has
promised a vote before Congress adjourns in the fall. But chances of the bill passing the
House this year are not strong since the Republican leadership does not support it.
Federal employees are protected from discrimination by an executive order signed by
President Clinton in 1998 that is so far still in effect under the Bush administration.
Federal workers are not eligible for domestic partner benefits, although Rep. Barney
Frank (Democrat - Massachusetts) has introduced a bill to change that.
The Growth of Domestic Partner Benefits
Much of the recent growth of domestic partner benefits can be traced to two important
factors: The low unemployment rate during much of the 1990s, which led employers to
seek creative yet inexpensive means of attracting the best employees, and passage of the
first equal benefits ordinance in San Francisco. That 1996 law states that any employer
under contract with the city must offer the same benefits to its employees' domestic
partners as it offers to married spouses. Since then, the number of employers offering
such benefits and the number of jurisdictions passing similar ordinances have increased.
Another important but rarely noted fact is that two-thirds of the employers offering
domestic partner benefits cover both same-sex and opposite-sex domestic partners. This
trend appears to be in reaction to America's changing demographics. According to the
2000 census, many more Americans live in nontraditional households -- such as
unmarried partners and people living with other relatives. Human resources managers are
realizing benefits programs that essentially pay married workers more than unmarried
workers are inherently unfair and need reexamination.
Protecting Transgender Workers
The next wave of change has already begun: Protecting transgender workers from
discrimination. (Transgender is a broad term used to describe people who don't identify
with the sex they manifested at birth. Some take steps to change via hormones or
surgery.) Seven states have laws or other rulings that protect people from discrimination
based on gender identity, and 43 cities and counties have passed such laws -- most in the
last five years. In addition, at least 30 private workplaces have adopted policies against
gender-identity discrimination, including 15 of the Fortune 500.
Gay-Friendly Employers
by David L. Long
Monster Staff Writer
The Gay Financial Network (GFN) maintains a list of the 50 most powerful gay-friendly
public companies based on revenue, growth, economic power, and corporate gay, lesbian
and HIV-related policies. Only Fortune 500 companies that maintain a policy of
nondiscrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and extend benefits to same-sex
domestic partners were considered.
The list is a great resource for searching for jobs on Monster. Just use the company name
as your keyword to locate every opportunity it has posted.
Here's a peek at GFN's findings -- the 10 most powerful gay-friendly companies:
American Express Co.
Walt Disney Co.

Microsoft Corp.
Lucent Technologies Inc.
Xerox
IBM
Hewlett-Packard Co.
Apple Computer Inc.
AMR Corp.
Citigroup Inc.
The Most Powerful & Gay-Friendly Public Companies in Corporate

America http://www.gfn.com/gfn/gfn50.phtml
The gfn.com 50 is a comprehensive list of the most powerful and gay-friendly publicly traded
companies.
Using the Fortune 500 and the gfn.com 500 as a starting ground, gfn.coms team of experts spent
weeks combing through economic reports, analyst findings and corporate policies on gay, lesbian
and HIV policies. First and foremost, only public companies were considered, as public
companies are responsible to their shareholders at large and not to a few private gay-friendly
individuals. Second, only public companies within the Fortune 500 were considered because of
the considerable influence that these companies exercise in shaping not only American corporate
policy, but public perceptions, as well.
It was also necessary that two basic prerequisites be satisfied before a firm could be considered
for the list. Each company had to have a policy in place stating that it does not discriminate on the
basis of sexual orientation. Second, the firm had to extend benefits to same-sex domestic
partners.
From there, the companies were analyzed in terms of revenues, growth, economic power, as well
as how they ranked on issues of corporate policies relating to diversity training, employee
benefits, employee groups, nondiscrimination on the basis of sexual orientation in the sale or
purchase of goods and services, advertising to the gay market and having in place a ban on any
negative stereotypes based on sexual orientation, among others.

Domestic Partner and Family-Friendly Benefits

by The Honorable Alexis M. Herman
US Secretary of Labor (1997-2001)
http://featuredreports.monster.com/gayandlesbian/domestic/
The trend started almost 20 years ago when the Village Voice, an alternative weekly
newspaper in New York City, offered domestic partner benefits to its employees. Since
then, more than 2,500 employers have gotten on the bandwagon, including corporations,
local governments and 121 of the Fortune 500. Aetna Insurance, Avon, Nike, Time
Warner, Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream, Ford Motor Company and the Readers Digest
Association are just a sampling of the companies offering domestic partner benefits. Most
of the major airlines offer "spousal equivalent" benefits to their employees, as do the
cities of Chicago, Los Angeles and New York. Lotus Development Corporation was the
first publicly traded company to offer them back in 1992.
Is there a trend here? Are more and more employers becoming liberal or accepting? Has
corporate America turned cool?
Perhaps. But I have another theory. Employers offering domestic partner benefits to their
workers are smart, very smart.
At first blush, it might seem these employers are making a very visible and important
effort to eliminate workplace discrimination and provide equal compensation for equal
work. That's commendable, and I am by no means downplaying that effort or goal.
But the bottom line here is the bottom line. And the reality is that providing domestic
partner and other similar benefits makes a workplace more attractive to more workers.
That's critical, as employers struggle to find, and just as important, keep good workers.
And with good reason. Some CEOs estimate the cost of recruiting a new employee can
run as high as $75,000 if you calculate advertising, interviewing, training, testing,
relocation expenses, lost productivity and recruitment incentives.
That's why it's critical for both employers and employees to think of family-friendly
policies and fringe benefits like domestic partnership as well as childcare and eldercare in
a whole new way: As part of that all-important bottom line.
Case in point: There is an innovative initiative between the United Auto Workers Union
and the Big Three Automakers to invest more in childcare in metropolitan Detroit. The
agreement emerged from a collective bargaining pact that included childcare and
development initiatives. Everything from daycare for toddlers, to grants to the local
YMCA to expand summer camps and back-up programs to care for kids during
unplanned circumstances like school snow days are included.
Sounds nice, doesn't it? But get this: The report is that the companies save $2 for every
dollar they spend on the program. Turning one dollar into two isn't just nice; it's
profitable.
Make no mistake. This is all about smart economics and shrewd business. Companies of
every kind succeed in the global marketplace when families of every kind succeed around
the kitchen table.
And that, my friends, is cool.

Coming Out at Work

by Susan Bryant
http://featuredreports.monster.com/gayandlesbian/comingout/
You've come out to yourself, your family and your friends, but have you come out at
work? The freedom of being yourself from 9 to 5 can be rewarding -- and a little
frightening.
In or Out?
"My fears about coming out at work ranged from being very serious, like losing my job,
to the not-so-serious but bothersome, like hearing rude jokes or comments regarding
homosexuality." - Mary Risher, 31
According to Monster Equal Opportunity Advisor Kim Mills of the Human Rights
Campaign, the biggest concern people have about coming out at work is losing their job.
And this fear is legitimate, since in 38 states it is legal to discriminate against employees
based on their sexual orientation. Coming out at work could open the door to blatant
hostility, termination or being passed over for promotions.
Why Risk It?
"When you're out -- whether you're accepted by your peers or not -- you're being true to
yourself, which is the most important thing for living a valid life." - Angela Holton, 35
What possesses people to come out on the job when the potential risks are so great?
According to Mills, those who feel safe enough to come out on the job often experience a
more integrated and honest identity. The stress of living a dual life -- sometimes in,
sometimes out -- can be exhausting. Worrying about being found out or accidentally
slipping up when referring to a partner takes an emotional toll.
"I felt a sense of freedom and empowerment when I stopped hiding such a huge part of
myself," says Risher. "I immediately felt more confident and comfortable with myself
and around my coworkers; it made my life at work much better."
First, Consider This
"Don't come out at work, with family or anytime until you are personally ready. It's not
something you can take back. Sharing anything that revealing makes you susceptible to
negative reactions -- be prepared for it." - Risher
Reactions from coworkers or bosses can range from support and encouragement to shock
and disapproval. In his book Outing Yourself: How to Come Out As a Lesbian or Gay to
Your Family, Friends and Coworkers, Michelangelo Signorile describes the importance
of assessing the nature of your workplace before deciding to come out. Consider your
personal safety. If you are in an extremely homophobic, hostile environment, finding a
new job may make more sense than coming out in your current one.
Barring this threat, Signorile recommends making a list of everyone in your workplace
who has an effect on your job. Think about how each person might react upon learning of
your sexual orientation. How important to your career are those who might react
negatively? Is it realistic to think your job could be jeopardized, or is this fear more
imagined? Taking an analytical approach to this process can help you get a clearer picture
of what to anticipate.
Mills also suggests finding out if your company has a written policy regarding
discrimination based on sexual orientation. If other employees have come out, connect
with them to gain a valuable support network.
Out and About
"I've always spoken of 'we' and 'our' and 'us' when asked by coworkers about my evening
or weekend plans, and I just let people draw their own conclusions. When you
demonstrate your own comfort with your orientation, those around you will follow your
cue." - Holton
If you've decided to come out at work, how will you actually do it?
"Don't come in with a big 'I'm gay!' announcement," says Mills. An overwhelming
statement isn't necessary and only increases potential shock value.
Choose a few trusted coworkers, possibly those who you think may have been wondering
about your sexuality, to tell first. Or put a picture of you and your partner on your desk. If
asked about your weekend plans, mention doing something with your partner or attending
a gay pride event, for example. By letting information spread as it may, you reinforce that
this new information about you is not earth-shattering, but just another facet of your life.
"Initially, coming out at work was a huge issue -- at least to me," says Steve, who
preferred not to use his last name. "I was so well-received, though, that now it's not even
spoken about. It's been the easiest thing in the world."
Gay-Friendly?
Avoid Discrimination Based on Sexual Orientation
by Ellen Alcorn
http://featuredreports.monster.com/gayandlesbian/inclusive/
After a string of bad job experiences in which revelations that you are gay seemed to
impede your advancement, you are once again in search of employment. This time, you
want to find an employer that is inclusive of all its employees, regardless of sexual
orientation. Which of the following should you do?
A. Keep your fingers crossed that this time will be different.
B. Ask the interviewer how diverse the company's workforce is regarding
sexual orientation.
C. Do your homework before, during and after your interview.
If you answered C, you're on your way to finding the right job.
Preparing for the Interview
By the time you arrive for your interview, you should be a regular walking encyclopedia
about the prospective employer. Go online, read newspapers and talk to people who've
worked for the company. Look for these indicators of whether or not a company is a good
fit:
Company Nondiscrimination Statement

If it doesn't include anything about sexual orientation, it's a red
flag.
Benefits Plan
A company that offers a domestic partner benefits plan to life
partners regardless of sexual orientation is inclusive in its
practices, not just on paper. Good news: According to a recent
survey, a steadily rising number of employers are offering these
benefits.
Diversity Initiatives
Is there evidence of diversity initiatives in the company
literature? How extensive does it seem to be? "Many people
understand that a diversity initiative is often a precursor to
career opportunities that await them," says Todd Campbell,
manager of the diversity initiative at the Society for Human
Resource Management in Alexandria, Virginia.
Litigation History
Has the company been in the news lately because of
discrimination lawsuits? If so, you might not want to waste the
cab fare or gas needed for getting to the interview.
Media References
Many publications offer annual roundups of the most employeefriendly companies. Fortune, for example, publishes a list of the
50 best companies for minorities. Don't worry too much if your
prospective employer doesn't make the list. But if the company
does appear, shine those shoes and get a good night's rest so
you get the best possible shot at the job.
Company Awards
"If a company has won awards for things such as the promotion
of women in the workplace or community service, that's a good
indicator that the company is probably inclusive," says Campbell.
During the Interview
In addition to presenting yourself as the best thing to walk through those doors since
takeout was invented, the interview is a good time for you to fill in as many blanks as
possible. Here's how.
Ask Questions.
If your research hasn't turned up any information about the
company's diversity initiative or domestic-partner benefits plan,
now's the time to ask. But don't ask questions about whether
people of diverse sexual orientation hold positions of authority
within the company. "The interview needs to be job-related,"
says Campbell. "The sexual orientation of employees is not jobrelated."
Look Around When You Walk Through the Hallways.

Who's sitting in the fancy offices? Whose pictures are hanging on
the walls? If those depicted are all white males, this might not
be the most diversity-minded office.
After the Interview
If after all that research you're still not sure about a company, you need to take a hard
look at the reasons for your hesitation. Have previous bad experiences left you gun-shy,
or have you spotted some red flags along the way?
Know Your Rights.

No matter what the circumstances of your new employment are,
it's always best to start with a clear picture of your rights. While
no federal law currently exists prohibiting discrimination on the
basis of sexual orientation, several states have enacted such
laws, including California, Connecticut, Hawaii, Maryland,
Massachusetts, Minnesota, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey,
Rhode Island, Vermont, Wisconsin and the District of Columbia.
Get to Know People.

The minute you start the job, make lots of connections, including
with the company's human resource manager. The more allies
you have now, the easier it will be to combat on-the-job
discrimination down the road.

TMP Worldwide Acquires FlipDog.com
By Christopher Saunders
Recruitment and yellow pages advertising giant TMP Worldwide, which
owns Monster.com, is now the owner of competing jobs site
FlipDog.com, through an acquisition designed to boost Monster's paid
job advertisements.
Few terms of the acquisition were disclosed, but it's clear that New
York-based TMP is less interested in FlipDog.com's massive job listings
(it lists about 600,000, while Monster hosts about 434,000) but rather,
the Provo, Utah-based firm's technology.
FlipDog.com's former owner, WhizBang! Labs, Inc., specializes in online
data extraction. That technology is at the heart of FlipDog.com's job
listing site: an information extraction engine finds and links to joblisting data on other Web sites, including "Powered by FlipDog" clients.
This enables FlipDog.com to list many jobs described on the
employment pages of companies' own Web sites, increasing the
number of listings available for searching. Monster.com would
presumably then go after these companies with jobs to fill, seeking to
entice them to purchase more prominent listings.
"The upside is incredible," said TMP's chairman and chief executive,
Andrew McKelvey. "FlipDog.com will serve to drive new business leads
for Monster and across TMP's other businesses, while broadening and
deepening the services we can provide to our clients."
Indeed, McKelvey said he sees FlipDog.com continuing as its own Web

site, but serving chiefly as a back-end data resource for TMP's
businesses, which includes not only Monster.com, but relocation site
MonsterMoving.com and a classified, yellow pages and mainstream
media recruitment advertising practice.
While the companies declined to discuss the arrangement in detail, the
deal also specifies that WhizBang! Labs will help set up TMP's
implementation of FlipDog's information extraction system.
"FlipDog.com brings incredible technology and content to the TMP
family of companies," said Mark Simonsen, who is president and chief
executive of FlipDog.com. "Customers worldwide stand to benefit
tremendously from combining the strengths of FlipDog.com with
Monster.com, the most powerful online recruiting force in the market
today."
The FlipDog acquisition comes as Monster.com and TMP offered to buy
a leading European recruitment site, Stockholm's Jobline International
AB.
That offer, tendered Friday, entails TMP offering cash for all of Jobline's
outstanding stock. Should the deal go through, Monster would add
Sweden to its thirteen existing European sites.
As a result, McKelvey said Jobline would benefit from FlipDog's
services as well.
"FlipDog.com's powerful technology will also be brought to bear upon
our recently announced pending acquisition of Jobline to further drive
our expansion in Europe," he said. "As the completion of the Jobline
acquisition increases our brand dominance throughout Europe,
FlipDog.com's information extraction technology will enhance our
offerings and accelerate our business development growth."
TMP Worldwide's Monster Quarter

TMP Worldwide bucked the recent trend and reported estimate-beating profits last night.
The company also gave a rosy outlook for the coming year thanks largely to the success
of its Monster.com career site. www.fool.com/news/2001/tmpw010221.htm
By Paul Larson (TMF Parlay)

February 21, 2001
With a long list of companies missing profit projections and lowering

expectations for the future, TMP Worldwide's (Nasdaq: TMPW)
earnings last night provided a welcome change of pace. The
advertising and marketing company that owns the popular
Monster.com job-search site reported adjusted fourth-quarter earnings
per share of $0.35, a full four pennies better than Wall Street's
estimates.
Total sales at the company were $351.9 million in the fourth quarter, a
healthy 45% jump from 1999's $243.2 million. The lion's share of
TMP's growth was driven by the company's Interactive division, which
includes Monster.com. Revenue at the Interactive division was $142.1
million, up an impressive 150% year-over-year.
TMP's profit margins also showed significant improvement in the
quarter. Backing out merger-related costs, operating income grew to
$54.2 million in the quarter, a 180% increase year-over-year. Adjusted
net income was $38.0 million in three months ended Dec. 31, a 305%
annual increase. The fact that operating and net profits are growing
much faster than the company's revenue shows that the company's
profit margins are improving as the firm scales its business.
Monster.com is profitable
Thought that all "dot-coms" were "dot-bombs"? TMP's flagship
Monster.com job portal is actually profitable. Monster.com contributed
$117.2 million in revenue in the fourth quarter and also had adjusted
operating profits of $28.1 million.
Monster.com also continues to distance itself from the competition. As
of January, the site had a database of 8.3 million rsums, up from 2.7
million at the same time last year. Furthermore, it has almost 500,000
job listings, and it also has an estimated 53% market share in the hot
online career niche as measured by total time visitors spend on the
site.
These figures are important because Monster.com looks like it may
have a significant and sustainable competitive advantage thanks to the
network effect, which says the value of a network grows exponentially
with each additional participant. This is the same effect that has kept
eBay (Nasdaq: EBAY) easily atop the online auction market.
In a nutshell, employers are going to list their job openings where they
are likely to get the greatest number of applicants, and job-seekers
are going to migrate to the sites that have the most "help wanted"
signs and the widest selection of potential "dream" jobs. There will
always be competition to deal with, especially from sites that specialize
in a given sector, but Monster.com is the undisputed online career
services gorilla.
It is also ironic that Monster.com may actually benefit from all the
recent layoffs and downsizings. With every new wave of layoffs comes
a new wave of serious job-seekers entering the market and using sites
like Monster.com and HotJobs.com (Nasdaq: HOTJ). A recession
certainly won't hurt these sites.
TMP's outlook
TMP Worldwide expects to bring in roughly $1.6 billion in revenue this
year, which would be a 24% increase over 2000's full-year results. The
company's offline career services business as well as its advertising
businesses are not expected to grow significantly.
However, the company's Interactive division is now expected to bring
in roughly $725 million in sales next year, or about 50% year-overyear growth. TMP's Interactive services are expected to account for
almost half of the company's 2001 revenues, up from just 17.4% of
the company's sales in 1999.
Bottom-line profits are also expected to grow nicely in the coming
year. The company said to expect full-year adjusted earnings per share
between $1.38 and $1.42, a solid improvement from the adjusted
$1.02 per share the company earned in 2000. While the economic
climate is cloudy and battering other companies around, TMP
Worldwide appears to be the bucking the trend.

TMP stock tumbles as Chief Operating Officer resigns
http://www.hrmguide.net/usa/recruitment/tmp_tumbles.htm
August 8 2002 - The value of TMP Worldwide shares fell by 30 per

cent yesterday after James J. Treacy, TMP's President and Chief
Operating Officer (COO), announced his resignation. TMP owns
Monster - the world's largest job search website.
44-year-old Treacy was TMP's second-in-command, having joined

TMP Worldwide in 1994 as chief executive officer of the company's
Recruitment Advertising Division. He led the division from its
infancy to its current position as one of the world's largest
recruitment advertising businesses.
Significantly he played a key role in the acquisition of Monster in
1995 and the creation of TMP's cross-selling strategy known as
"feeding the Monster." Treacy will stay with TMP until his successor
is found and will retain his seat on the company's board after he
leaves.
"Jim is a superb leader with keen management skills and talent.
Since joining TMP Worldwide eight years ago, our company has
thrived under his strategic guidance and benefited greatly from his
operational sensibilities and commitment to delivering continuous
and meaningful results," said Andrew J. McKelvey, Chairman and
CEO of TMP Worldwide.
"As company president and COO, Jim led our efforts to align our
operations with the reality of today's human resource marketplace,
and championed many of the online recruitment innovations and
strategies that have enabled us to provide clients with the broadest
array of human capital solutions in the industry. While I will miss his
daily contributions, I am pleased that we can still count on his
insight and counsel as a member of the company's Board of
Directors."
Treacy explained that he wanted the top job at a major global
company:
"My tenure and experience at TMP Worldwide has been
extraordinary. With Andy's contract as CEO being renewed until
May 2005 and my personal aspirations to be chief executive officer
of a major global company, I realized it was time for me to move on,
and Andy supported my decision," said Mr. Treacy. "I'm looking
forward to working with Andy and the rest of TMP's senior
management team to make this transition a smooth and seamless
one."
His resignation came on the same day as the company also
announced a $504.1 million second-quarter loss. The loss,
equating to $4.53 per share, contrasts with a profit of $19.8 million,
or 17 cents per share in the same quarter a year ago. TMP also
announced that it is in the process of cutting 1,000 jobs and closing
102 offices. As of June 30, 2002, the company said that
approximately 750 positions had been eliminated and 60 offices

had already been exited.
Founded in 1967, TMP Worldwide Inc. had over 10,000 employees
in 33 countries at the end of 2001, and claims to be the world's
largest Recruitment Advertising agency network, and one of the
world's largest Executive Search & Executive Selection agencies.
Monster is headquartered in Maynard, Mass. It is the world's largest
global careers website, recording over 41.1 million unique visits
during the month of June 2002 according to independent research
conducted by I/PRO. TMP is also one of the world's largest Yellow
Pages advertising agencies.
"We continue to be challenged by the 'jobless recovery' and its
impact on our businesses," said McKelvey. "Specifically, in the
second quarter, commissions and fees for Monster, Executive
Search, and Monstermoving were below our expectations."
Commenting on the job search situation, Jim Nagel, VP Business
Development for 20interviews.com said: We know the usual free
resume posting sites generate their revenue from employment
agencies and employers paying to access their resume databases.
Now that the job market has swung in the opposite direction (more
candidates - not enough job openings) there is no need to pay
thousands of dollars to these sites in order to find candidates.
"Yet the problem remains for the candidate," added Nagel, "and that
is the ongoing search to find a job. We saw the need for a fresh
approach. 20interviews gives the jobseeker an opportunity to get
100% resume exposure to the hiring world because we do not
charge an access fee to our resume databank."

BACK TO THE MANPOWER DESIGN
WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT DIVERSITY
As a value-based organization, Manpower understands the role
diversity plays in the success of our company. Working with
minority suppliers, embracing the diverse backgrounds of our
employees and reaching out to our community are not just the
right things to do; they are also parts of an essential business
strategy. In order to realize our vision of being the best
worldwide provider of higher-value staffing services and the
center for quality employment opportunities, we must embrace
diversity - in our workforce, in our strategic partnerships and in
our communities.
Manpower has developed many programs to help strengthen the
diversity of our communities worldwide and create opportunities
for all people to participate in the workforce. A few examples of

our recent programs and partnerships include:
Manpower Unlimited, Belgium
In 2000, Manpower Belgium developed a recruitment and
selection service for the disabled, working in partnership with the
local disabled community. The service is provided by a mobile
team of Manpower employees equipped with a specially adapted
vehicle that is used to go out and meet with candidates and
companies to generate employment opportunities that match the
skills of the disabled individuals. Candidates are provided with
career guidance, legal and administrative advice, and other
personalized services. Employers are provided with feasibility
studies of their work environment, the recruitment and selection
of candidates, training and assistance with integration of the
candidate into the workplace.
Diversity Partnership Program, USA
Our Diversity Partnership Program in the USA is a collaborative
venture with firms owned by women, minorities, disadvantaged
and small businesses who share our mission of providing quality
services to their customers. Our goal is to help those businesses
that participate in our program to acquire the skills, knowledge,
and abilities necessary to grow and maintain a successful
business. Manpower is committed to developing relationships
with diversity vendors who can benefit from working with us, and
can enhance the already innovative workforce solutions we offer
our customers.
Caminemos Juntos, Mexico
In 2001, Manpower Mexico launched an innovative program
named Caminemos Juntos (Let's walk together) to bring job
opportunities to disabled people, in partnership with Mexico's
Secretary of Labor, non-government organizations (NGOs),
interested companies and educational institutions. The program
is expanding today to meet the needs of a larger pool of
candidates, and other disadvantaged groups in the community.

LAYOFFS FROM TRANSNATIONAL CORPORATIONS WEBSITE

http://www.transnationale.org/anglais/etn.htm
SCHERING-PLOUGH CORPORATION: The Schering-Plough Corporation
said that it is laying off 200 workers in the United States and freezing
hiring under its plan to slash payroll costs. The layoffs come after only
900 employees, including 600 in New Jersey, signed up for a voluntary
early retirement package late last year. The drug maker, based in
Kenilworth, N.J., had hoped 1,000 employees would opt for voluntary
retirement. 3/4
VOUGHT AIRCRAFT INDUSTRIES: It is believed that Vought Aircraft
Industries will shut its Nashville operations down and cut about 1,000
jobs. The company will not confirm or deny the report as yet, but a
source at the Tennessee Department of Labor said that the company
had filed paperwork indicating the layoff. Operations will likely be
consolidated in Dallas, Texas. Vought makes wing and tail sections for
several companies, including Gulfstream. 3/3
DELPHI CORP.: Delphi Corp., the world's largest automotive parts
maker and former GM spin-off, will cut 148 jobs from its 1,000 strong
U.S. IT staff. The job losses are mostly in Michigan, although people in
Indiana, Ohio and New York will be affected as well. The cuts are part
of the 8,500 person downsizing announced last October. 3/3
BIOPURE CORP.: Biopure Corp., a Cambridge, Massachusetts-based
maker of the blood substitute Hemopure, will cut 60 jobs as it
struggles to gain approval from the Food and Drug Administration. The
FDA recently required Biopure to conduct an additional animal test
trial, and the company said it had enough money to stay afloat
through June. The company lost $11 million during the last quarter.
3/3
RELIABLE AUTOMATIC SPRINKLER COMPANY INC.: A fire sprinkler
company with a long history in the city said that it would shut down its
manufacturing operations and move to South Carolina, eliminating
about 300 local jobs. The company, Reliable Automatic Sprinkler Co.
Inc., was lured to Pickens County in the northwestern part of the state
by a package of incentives that included several million dollars in tax
breaks, grants, and a custom-tailored work-force training program
organized by colleges in that area. Reliable is one of the dominant
players in the fire sprinkler industry. Victaulic Company of America and
a Tyco Fire Products subsidiary, Central Sprinkler Co., both based in
Pennsylvania, are also major fire sprinkler companies, but much larger
than Reliable. Reliable employs 500 people worldwide, including 400 in

Westchester. About 50 jobs would be moved to Pickens. 3/3
THE BOEING COMPANY: Boeing Co. says it is reducing efforts to
convert its 767 planes for use as Air Force refueling tankers as a result
of government reviews into the controversial program, a move that will
result in as many 150 job cuts at its plants in Wichita and Seattle. The
CEO said 600 Boeing employees at those locations will be shifted to
other work as the company slows development on a delayed Air Force
project that has been costing it about $1 million a day. The cutback
comes after the Pentagon ordered three additional reviews into
Boeing's plan to lease and sell 100 jets to the Air Force for use as
refueling tankers. The Defense Department said earlier this month that
the Air Force can't proceed with the contract, already suspended since
early December pending an investigation, until reviews by the
Pentagon general counsel, the Defense Science Board and the
Industrial College of the Armed Forces are completed. Those reviews
are expected to take at least until May, according to the Defense
Department. The Pentagon's inspector general already had been
looking into the case after questions arose last year about ethical
issues surrounding the way Boeing pursued the multibillion-dollar
contract. 3/1
CNA FINANCIAL CORPORATION: An additional 100 CNA employees
than was earlier reported got layoff notices related to the Chicago
insurer's pending sale of its Nashville individual life business to Swiss
Re. Earlier this month, CNA said 240 people got 60-day layoff notices,
including 110 in the Nashville office and another 130 sales staff in the
field. That same day, 90- to 120-day notices were given for another
100 positions, a CNA spokesman says. That could explain why a
company filing with the state's Labor Department showed more than
240 jobs to be cut. 3/1
AMERICAN HOSPITALITY CONCEPTS INC.: American Hospitality
Concepts, which abruptly closed 59 Ground Round and other
restaurants nationwide, including locations in Solon, Kent and
Macedonia, and laid off more than 3,000 employees, has filed for
bankruptcy protection. In a statement released recently, the Braintree,
Mass. company said senior lenders had unexpectedly terminated
financing. AHC said it had received a commitment for so-called debtor
in possession financing, and would address its obligations to
employees and vendors. Another 73 Ground Round restaurants owned
by franchisees remain open. 3/1
AURORA FOODS INC.: A federal bankruptcy court has approved a

reorganization plan for Aurora Foods Inc. that includes plans for the
company to merge with the Pinnacle Foods Holding Corporation,
Aurora officials said. The United States Bankruptcy Court in Delaware
approved the plan recently. Pinnacle, maker of Vlasic pickles and
Swanson frozen foods, plans to close Aurora's St. Louis headquarters
and a product development center in St. Louis soon. The company will
lay off 170 employees. Aurora, which makes Duncan Hines baking
mixes, Lender's bagels and other foods, will consolidate the combined
company's corporate functions at Pinnacle Foods' headquarters in
Mountain Lakes and Cherry Hill, N.J. 3/1
SHAPIRO PACKING COMPANY: Shapiro Packing Co. said it will lay off a
little less than half its 580 workers because of a sharp drop in business
caused by the current mad-cow disease scare. About 50 countries,
including the top export market of Japan, banned U.S. beef and cattle
imports after a dairy cow in Washington state was found with the
disease in December. Exports account for about 10 percent of U.S.
beef production, and the ban has pushed down prices. 3/1
MAYTAG CORPORATION: About 170 production workers at Maytag
Corp. are expected to be laid off. The company is apparently scaling
back production of some of its laundry equipment. The cuts are not
related to Maytag's announcement that South Korea-based Samsung
Electronics Co. would manufacture front-load laundry products for the
company. The agreement is designed to expand Maytag's existing
laundry product lines and strengthen its market position, both in the
United States and internationally. The production involving the
agreement with Samsung will be at an existing Samsung plant in
South Korea. Maytag, the nation's third-largest home appliance maker,
employs 20,000 salaried and hourly workers. About 96 percent of
Maytag's manufacturing employees work in the United States. 3/1
ALLTEL INFORMATION SERVICES: Alltel Information Services cut 600
positions companywide as part of a reorganization by the Arkansasbased corporation. The change went into effect immediately and the
affected workers received their pay, a severance package,
outplacement and counseling. 2/25
NORTHWEST AIRLINE CORPORATION: The Northwest Airlines
Corporation said that it would close 25 ticket offices in the United
States to reduce costs, as ticket sales over the Internet increase. The
ticket offices are in Detroit, Minneapolis, New York, Atlanta and 12
other cities, Northwest said. The 76 employees at the offices will be
eligible to transfer to one of the company's five reservations centers,

the airline said. Northwest, based in St. Paul, has been trying to
reduce costs to better compete with expanding lower-cost carriers and
it recently told employees it wants to reduce expenses by $1 billion
this year. The airline is in talks with its pilots' union to lower costs.
2/25
RUBATEX: RBX Corp. closed its Bedford, Virginia Rubatex plant,
resulting in 64 job losses. Two more plants will be closed in Tallapoosa,
Georgia and Colt, Arkansas. Rubatex makes closed-cell foam and
custom rubber compounds. 2/25
TERRA LYCOS: Terra Lycos, the Barcelona-based Internet service
provider and search engine specialist, has entered into a multi-year
deal with online advertising and audience research firm 24/7 Real
Media. As a result, the North American operations will be laying off 90
people. The layoffs are happening throughout the country, not just at
its Waltham, Massachusetts headquarters. 2/25
NATIONAL TEXTILES: National Textiles, a Winston-Salem, North
Carolina-based maker of fleece and jersey materials, is laying off 190
workers at plants in Forest City, North Carolina and Galax, Virginia.
National Textiles is the largest manufacturer in Rutherford County,
where the unemployment rate stands at 12 percent. 2/25
GENERAL MOTORS CORPORATION: General Motors Corp. said it laid off
350 of the 1,350 hourly workers at a Linden, N.J., plant as it shifts
production of midsize pickups to a newly renovated Louisiana factory.
The Linden plant, which has been shut recently, in January ended
production of the Chevrolet S10 and GMC Sonoma trucks. The models
are being replaced by two models built in Shreveport, La. Linden will
continue to make sport utility vehicles such as the Chevrolet Blazer at
least through mid-2005. 2/23
SOUTHWEST RECREATIONAL INDUSTRIES, INC.: Southwest
Recreational Industries Inc., the Leander-based maker of legendary
sports field surface AstroTurf, has filed for bankruptcy protection and
soon will be out of business. The bankruptcy leaves projects in limbo
at athletic facilities across the country, including new turf that was
slated for the Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome in Minneapolis. SRI cut
more than 300 jobs before the filing, holding on to 190 employees
companywide to help it shut down. The filing caps a dramatic decline
for the company, which once was the industry leader in sports surfaces
with millions in sales and fast growth. 2/23
WESTINGHOUSE SAVANNAH RIVER SITE COMPANY LLC: Layoffs and

work delays have led the Savannah River Site into a blurry and
uncertain period that has employees and site supporters unsure
exactly what the future holds. Earlier this month, SRS employees were
told that 300 workers will be let go. Days before the announcement,
the Department of Energy said construction on a fuel-conversion plant
that would create 500 jobs will be delayed almost a year, to May 2005,
or longer. Westinghouse Savannah River Co., which runs SRS for the
Department of Energy, spent months shaping its restructuring plan,
which will eliminate roughly $30 million in salary, though not until after
this year. More layoffs are expected beyond this year. 2/23
RELIANT RESOURCES, INC.: Reliant Resources, which improved its
fourth-quarter performance, put out a 2004 forecast recently that was
lower than some on Wall Street expected and said it would continue
job cuts as part of a cost-reduction plan. The Houston-based company
said it would eliminate $200 million more in annual costs by 2006 and
plans to get there partly by eliminating jobs. It started doing so in
early January and has since eliminated about 150 jobs, with most cut
from the Houston area. The new cost-cutting plan follows one that
Staff announced in August that involved reducing annual operating
expenses by $140 million. Nearly half that amount was projected to
come from eliminating jobs. The company said then that 250
employees would lose their jobs, 100 vacant positions would be
eliminated and 300 contract and temporary positions would be
eliminated. Reliant has two main business lines: wholesale and retail
electricity. It sells power on the retail level to individual consumers,
including those in Houston. 2/23
RIGGS NATIONAL CORPORATION: Riggs National Corp. in Washington
announced recently that it is eliminating 87 positions and will close its
Berlin office. The office closure will cost 10 employees their jobs.
Forty-five of the positions being eliminated are U.S. ones that are
currently filled. The $6.4 billion-asset company said the cuts are
needed to reduce expenses and improve efficiency. Expenses rose
8.8% last year, to $240 million, and Riggs reported a fourth-quarter
loss of $6.9 million, in part because of increased expenses. Its
efficiency ratio in the fourth quarter was 112%, far above the industry
average. 2/23
WELLS FARGO HOME MORTGAGE INC.: Wells Fargo Home Mortgage
completed a planned layoff of more than 170 people from its
operations center in Riverside. The employees, who processed,
underwrote and closed home loans and refinancings, had been given
60 days' notice. The Des Moines, Iowa-based firm said rising mortgage
interest rates will mean fewer people refinancing their homes in the
coming year. Wells Fargo Home Mortgage has laid off employees all
over the country as the refinancing boom slowed, including San Diego
and Kansas City, Mo. 2/23
SIERRA MILITARY HEALTH SERVICES INC.: Seeing virtually no chance
it could overturn a Pentagon bid award to a rival, Sierra Military Health
Services recently sent layoff notices to all 744 of its employees,
including 534 at its Baltimore headquarters. The majority of the
Baltimore employees would work until Sierra's current military health
contract runs out. Some would stay for up to eight months longer to
complete the necessary bookkeeping. Sierra Military was formed and
based in Baltimore in 1998. That year, it won a contract with the
Pentagon under a program called Tricare to provide health care to
more than 1 million active military, retirees and their dependents in a
13-state area from Virginia to Maine. In re-bidding the contract, the
Defense Department combined its 12 health regions into three. Health
Net, a current Tricare contractor in the West, beat out Sierra for a new
21-state, five-year contract valued at more than $2 billion a year. 2/23
SIMMONS COMPANY: Simmons Co. plans to close a suburban
Columbus mattress factory, eliminating 107 jobs. The Atlanta-based
company said other plants will increase production to compensate for
the closing. Simmons also has announced plans to open plants in
Washington and Pennsylvania. Simmons has 19 plants in 16 states and
Puerto Rico. Regulatory filings show nine of them have unionized
workers. The company said it has opened 10 plants since 1980. None
of those has union workers. 2/18
CIRCUIT CITY STORES INC.: Circuit City Stores Inc., the secondlargest U.S. electronics chain, said recently that it would close 19
money-losing superstores and eliminate 901 jobs but would continue
to open and remodel outlets in other locations. Circuit City expects to
have about $35 million in after-tax expenses related to the Feb. 23
closings, the Richmond, Va.-based company said, adding that it
concluded that the stores, about 3% of Circuit City locations, were
unlikely to generate positive cash flow. Circuit City will have 600
superstores and five outlets in malls after the closings. It expects to
open as many as 70 superstores in the fiscal year beginning in March,
with slightly more than half of those being relocations of existing
stores. The new stores will be larger, with an average space of 35,000
square feet. 2/18
CITIGROUP: Citigroup announced that it will close call centers in New

Orleans, Philadelphia, Atlanta, Cleveland, Salem, and Tempe. About
800 jobs will be lost in New Orleans, and another 930 in Philadelphia.
The moves come on the coattails of Citigroup's acquisition of Sear's
credit card portfolio in November. 2/18
GOLDMAN SACHS: Goldman Sachs cut 50 jobs in its cash equities
division. Traders and sales staff were included in the downsizing.
Shrinking commissions due to electronic trading are the main cause for
the layoffs. 2/18
WASHINGTON MUTUAL: Washington Mutual said that it will cut 2,900
jobs in its loan refinancing departments. Northern California will see
353 of the cuts. 2/18
KMART: Kmart is conducting a store-by-store review which could result
in as much as a 10 percent workforce reduction. Sales in November
and December were down by 13.5 percent from the previous year.
Kmart employs over 155,000 people at 1,500 stores, not including
headquarters. 2/18
OHIO CASUALTY CORPORATION: Ohio Casualty Corp. announced it's
cutting 260 staff and managerial positions nationwide, including 23
employees at its headquarters in this southwest Ohio city. The
reductions, which also include 18 jobs at the company's Hamilton
office, are part of a restructuring effort that could include another 150
to 250 cuts this spring. The reductions will save the company about
$5.5 million this year, and about $14.9 million a year beginning in
2005. 2/16
STATE FARM INSURANCE COMPANY: State Farm, one of the largest
employers in northeastern Louisiana, announced recently that it would
close its major administrative operations office while boosting the
payrolls of two similar centers in Tulsa, Okla. and Columbia, Mo. The
Monroe operations center and a related claims office, also slated for
closure, have 1,086 employees and a $50 million annual payroll. The
operations center performs such functions as billing and
communications. 2/16
ITRON INC.: Itron Inc. will cut 72 jobs as the company recovers from
operating losses in the fourth quarter and weak demand for its
products. Half of the cuts will be in Spokane, the Chief Executive
Officer said. Itron has about 500 workers in Spokane and almost 700
elsewhere. The company produces devices that allow utility meters to

be read from remote locations, and sells software and services to the
utility industry. The 72 jobs are roughly 5 percent of the company's
total work force. Cutting the positions should reduce expenses by an
estimated $6 million. 2/16
LYCOS INC.: Lycos Inc. plans to cut about 90 jobs from its nearly 420person work force as the Internet firm revamps its home page and
reorganizes its business. But officials at the Waltham-based firm, a
division of Barcelona-based Terra Lycos, said new jobs on the way in
the coming months will potentially exceed the jobs lost in the recent
layoffs. Less than 40 jobs in Waltham will be cut, said Lycoss
spokesman. Lycos is closing the California office that supports its
Quote.com financial data service and moving that operation to
Waltham, and will likely put most of its new hires this year at the
Waltham headquarters. The layoffs will cut into Lycos' sales force, as
the company said that it hired 24-7 Real Media to handle much of its
U.S. ad sales. Lycos plans on rearranging its Web site to place more
emphasis on subscription-based services, such as the Matchmaker.com
dating service, and will launch several premium services in the next
few months. But it will continue to offer its well-known search engine
and other free Internet services. 2/16
CONN-SELMER INC.: Band instrument manufacturer Conn-Selmer will
eliminate eight jobs when it moves an accessory department from one
Elkhart plant to another just down the road. The job cuts will be on top
of another 100 or so that will occur when the company closes a plant
on Elkhart's North Main Street that same month. The move was
prompted by a need for more warehouse space for inventory from
Nogales, Ariz., where Conn-Selmer recently shuttered a plant, and
from Asia, where the company has outsourced some products. It is
also related to the January 2003 merger of Steinway subsidiaries
Selmer and United Musical Instruments into Conn-Selmer. Since then,
Conn-Selmer has been working to combine the two into one company,
and doing so has required some rearrangement. Conn-Selmer has
struggled to compete against cheaper foreign band instruments and,
subsequently, has shed workers and factories. 2/16
NATIONAL TEXTILES LLC: National Textiles will lay off 190 workers at
two plants, one in North Carolina and the other in Virginia, as company
officials say they must cut back production. The Winston-Salem-based
company said it will lay off 106 of the 720 workers at its Forest City
operation, with another 84 being cut at a plant in Galax, Va. The
company knits, dyes and finishes jersey and fleece materials. National
Textiles employs about 4,000 workers in North Carolina, South

Carolina, Georgia, Virginia and Tennessee. 2/16/2004
TYSON FOODS INC.: In an attempt to rein in costs, Tyson Foods will
cut its work force by 5 percent, or about 6,000 people, "primarily
through attrition," the company told a gathering of analysts in Arizona.
The meat behemoth will also spend almost $70 million to further
automate some of its facilities this year, company executives told the
Consumer Analyst Group of New York conference in Scottsdale. Shares
of Tyson, hit earlier by a federal jury's recommendation of $1.3 billion
in damages in a cattle-price-manipulation case, closed down 1 percent
at $16.21. 2/23
SYKES ENTERPRISES INC.: Sykes Enterprises will close another call
center in eastern Kentucky, increasing the number of laid off workers
to nearly 700 in two towns. The Florida-based company announced
that the call center in Pikeville will close, resulting in 300 layoffs.
That's in addition to 393 layoffs in Hazard when a similar plant closed
there in August. The Pikeville call center is just the latest in a string of
centers Sykes has closed in the United States. Meanwhile, the
company has announced plans to open a 400-employee center in El
Salvador and plans an expansion in Costa Rica. 2/16
SYNGENTA CROP PROTECTION INC.: Syngenta Crop Protection Inc.
said it will eliminate about 60 jobs, or 15 percent of the work force, at
its St. Gabriel plant as part of a restructuring of global operations. The
major product at the St. Gabriel plant of the Basel, Switzerland-based
company is atrazine, an herbicide used to control weeds in corn, sugar
cane and other crops. The plant has about 410 Syngenta employees
and 350 contract workers. Syngenta said its announcement will result
in staff changes at some of its other locations, including Mobile, Ala.;
Switzerland; and Guatemala. Syngenta employs some 20,000 people
in over 90 countries. 2/16
SANMINA SCI CORPORATION: Sanmina-SCI, a contract electronics
manufacturer, will lay off 115 people at its plant by next month as it
shifts assembly work overseas, the company told state officials.
Sanmina, based in San Jose, Calif., cited a "reduction in volumes and
imports from China" when it notified state officials of the layoff to be
completed. Sanmina and its rivals are aggressively reducing
manufacturing capacity in the United States to readjust to smaller
markets for electronics products and to keep prices competitive. Many
parts were made overseas and then shipped to the United States for
assembly. Today, more assembly work is being shifted to Asia, where
labor costs are lower. 2/16

GEORGIA PACIFIC CORPORATION: Georgia Pacific Corp. will shutter
thermoforming facilities in Sandusky, Ohio, and Toronto, cutting more
than 200 jobs. The move will affect about 206 employees, entirely at
the Ohio site. That plant produces the ''Exclusively from Dixie'' line of
products, including co-branded Coca-Cola cups by Dixie and Dixie
Stoneware, as well as other Dixie branded plastic cups and lids. The
company said the move does not diminish its focus on plastics.
Officials said Dixie launched several new Exclusively from Dixie plastics
products during 2003 for the food-service and retail markets,
reflecting a growing focus on plastics. Those products included
Adaptables to-go containers designed with interchangeable tops and
bottoms; Liddles Portion Cups, a line of small containers to make
filling, storing and serving sauces and dips easier; and DixieWare, a
line of containers with a microwave vent that lets steam out and keeps
splatters in. Georgia Pacific operates thermoforming plants in
Commerce, Calif.; Lexington, Ky.; and Easton, Pa. The firm also has
injection molding plants in Los Angeles, Toronto and Leominster, Mass.
Umphress said the injection molding operations will not be affected.
2/16
DELPHI CORPORATION: The automotive parts supplier Delphi
Corporation said that it would shut its plant in the northern Mexican
state of Chihuahua this year, cutting 1,450 jobs because high labor
costs have made the plant uncompetitive. A Delphi spokeswoman said
that it would transfer production from the plant, which is in Ciudad
Delicias and produces wiring for the auto industry, to another of its 55
plants in Mexico. 2/4
SMURFIT-STONE CONTAINER CORPORATION: Smurfit-Stone Container
Corporation (Nasdaq:SSCC) recently reported a net loss available to
common stockholders ("net loss") of $92 million, or $.37 per diluted
share, for the fourth quarter of 2003, compared to a net loss of $15
million, or $.06 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2002.
Fourth quarter results include a pretax restructuring charge of $107
million, or $.27 per diluted share, related to previously announced
rationalization and cost reduction initiatives. The rationalization
process will result in a total workforce reduction of approximately
1,400 employees and projected savings of $140 million on an
annualized basis. Smurfit-Stone Container Corporation is the industry's
leading integrated manufacturer of paperboard and paper- based
packaging. The company operates approximately 260 facilities, located
primarily in the U.S., Canada and Mexico, and employs approximately
37,500 people. 2/4

ACCENTURE LTD.: Accenture, which opened a Wilmington branch in
1997 to perform computer work for the DuPont Co., plans to lay off 90
of its 450 local workers. Accenture said it may move the jobs to its
offices in India. 2/2
CANADIAN WHEAT BOARD: The Canadian Wheat Board is chopping
135 jobs to save money. About 100 layoff notices will go out next
month. The remaining 35 cuts will come through attrition. The Board
president says the goal is to save money for farmers and deal with
challenges like drought. He says the organization is still determining
what services it will contract out. The job cuts follow an extensive
internal review that he ordered last year. The Wheat Board currently

WEYERHAEUSER COMPANY: Forestry giant Weyerhaeuser is cutting
142 positions at its pulp and paper mill in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan.
The company says the move will save money and allow it to stay
competitive. Some hourly jobs will be cut by the end of the year as
technology at the mill is upgraded. The remaining jobs will be
eliminated mainly through attrition. More than 700 people work at the
paper mill. The announcement comes just days after Weyerhauser
agreed to keep its Big River operation going, saying staff there had
made improvements to efficiency, safety and costs. The Big River mill,
located north of Prince Albert, employs about 200 people. 2/2
BOSCH BRAKING SYSTEM: A brake manufacturer plans to cut nearly
half its workforce here by 2005 and move part of its operations to
Mexico, company officials said. About 400 of 820 employees at Bosch
Braking System will be laid off. The Sumter facility has struggled to
turn profits for years, and the automotive industry is facing tough cost
pressures. Bosch Braking Systems makes drum brakes and vacuum
boosters. The drum brake part of the plant will be relocated to a
facility in Mexico while the vacuum boosters will continue to be made
in Sumter. 2/2
ECB LIKELY TO LEAVE RATES STEADY
The ECB appears likely to hold interest rates steady at the central
bank's meeting, given the euro's strength and a still-fragile euro-zone
economic recovery. 2/4
WORLD ORGANIZATION FOR ECONOMIC COOPERATION AND
DEVELOPMENT PREDICTS GROWTH TO WAIN
Seasonally adjusted growth in the United States, France, Germany,

Italy, Britain and Japan is estimated at 1.1 percent in the final quarter
of last year, falling to 1 percent this quarter, the OECD said.
Growth in the United States is expected to slow to around 1.3 percent
in the first part of 2004, said OECD chief economist, releasing
estimates for the final quarter of 2003 and the first quarter of 2004.
Despite slower expansion, the United States still is growing faster than
other major countries. What small growth Germany and France are
registering is primarily because of the boost given by the United
States, she said.
The OECD said growth in Germany could stagnate in the first three
months of 2004.
The recovery varies dramatically in different parts of the world, with
Europe struggling particularly because of low consumer demand.
The biggest problem for the OECD is the appreciation of the euro,
which has gone up 10 percent against the U.S. dollar since November
when the organization estimated that growth in its member countries
would be 3 percent in 2004.
The stronger euro hurts export-dependent European economies that
are just starting to emerge from a long period of weak growth.
The OECD said U.S. growth has peaked but will remain strong.
Unemployment levels, however, will remain high for some time.
Investments and exports have picked up in Japan, primarily because of
the huge growth in China. 1/21

MASS LAYOFFS IN AUGUST 2002

Employers initiated 1,247 mass layoff actions in August 2002, as
measured by new filings for unemployment insurance benefits during the
month, according to the U.S. Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics. Each action involved at least 50 persons from a single establishment, and the number of workers involved totaled 128,080. (See
table 1.) A year earlier, in August 2001, there were 1,490 mass layoff
events involving 166,148 workers. Mass layoff initial claims in August
are usually among the lowest for the year. Almost 9 percent of the
initial
claims in August were from the temporary help services industry
(11,059).
From January through August 2002, both the total number of events, at
13,090, and initial claims, at 1,445,228, were lower than January-August
2001 (13,148 and 1,574,128, respectively).
The monthly data series in this release cover mass layoffs of 50 or
more workers beginning in a given month, regardless of the duration of
the layoffs. Information on the length of the layoff is obtained later
and issued in a quarterly release that reports on mass layoffs lasting
more than 30 days (referred to as "extended mass layoffs") and provides
more information on the industry classification and location of the
establishment and on the demographics of the laid-off workers. Because
monthly figures include short-term layoffs of 30 days or less, the sum of the
figures for the 3 months in a quarter will be higher than the quarterly
figure for mass layoffs of more than 30 days. (See table 1.) See the
Technical Note for more detailed definitions.
Industry Distribution
Manufacturing industries accounted for 34 percent of all mass layoff
events and 38 percent of all initial claims filed in August. A year
earlier,
layoffs in this sector accounted for 40 percent of events and 48 percent
of
initial claims. The number of initial claimants was highest in
machinery manufacturing (9,197, mostly in air conditioning, refrigeration, and forced
air
heating equipment), followed by transportation equipment (6,665, largely

in
aircraft manufacturing) and computer and electronic products (6,202,
primarily in semiconductors and related devices). (See table 2.)
Fourteen percent of all layoff events and initial claims filed during
the month were in administrative and waste services, mostly in temporary
help services. (From January through August, 102,476 mass layoff
initial
claims were filed from temporary help services.) Nine percent of the
events and initial claims in August were from retail trade industries,
mainly in general merchandise stores. Construction accounted for 8
percent
of events and 6 percent of initial claims, primarily among specialty
trade
contractors. The transportation and warehousing sector accounted for an
additional 5 percent of events and 6 percent of initial claims, largely
in
school and employee bus transportation.
- 2 Government establishments accounted for 5 percent of events and
initial
claims filed during the month, mostly in executive, legislative, and
general
government agencies.
Compared with August 2001, the largest decreases in initial claims
were
reported in transportation equipment manufacturing (-9,491) and computer
and electronic product manufacturing (-9,386). The largest over-theyear
increases in initial claims were reported in transit and ground
passenger
transportation (+1,893) and general merchandise stores (+1,399).
Geographic Distribution
Among the four regions, the highest number of initial claims in
August
due to mass layoffs was in the West, 43,122. (See table 3.)
Administrative
and support services and professional and technical services accounted
for
34 percent of all initial claims in the West during the month. The
South followed with 31,764 initial claims (mainly in administrative and support
services), then the Midwest, with 28,016 (largely in machinery
manufacturing).
The Northeast continued to report the lowest number of initial claims,
with
25,178 (mostly in transit and ground passenger transportation).
The number of initial claimants in mass layoffs declined over the

year
in three of the four geographic regions, with the largest decreases
occurring in the West (-19,704) and Midwest (-16,601). Seven of the nine
geographic divisions reported over-the-year declines in the number of initial
claims
associated with mass layoffs, with the largest declines in the Pacific
(-18,754) and East North Central (-14,303). The largest increase (+717)
was reported in the New England division.
California had the largest number of initial claims filed in mass
layoff events this August, 34,590, mostly in administrative and support
services and in professional and technical services, followed by Texas
(11,660) and New York (11,213). These three states accounted for 48
percent of all layoff events and 45 percent of all initial claims for
unemployment insurance. (See table 4.) Thus far this year, 366,386
mass layoff initial claims were filed in California, 25 percent of the
national total. The states with the next largest number of claims were
Texas (87,953) and Pennsylvania (84,225).
California reported the largest over-the-year decrease in initial
claims (-15,753), followed by Michigan (-10,379). The largest overthe-year increase occurred in New York (+5,035).
MASS LAYOFFS IN JULY 2002

Employers initiated 2,041 mass layoff actions in July 2002, as measured by new filings for unemployment insurance benefits during the
month,
according to the U.S. Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Each action involved at least 50 persons from a single establishment,
and
the number of workers involved totaled 245,457. (See table 1.) A year
earlier, in July 2001, there were 2,117 mass layoff events involving
273,807 workers. From January through July 2002, the total number of
initial claims, at 1,317,394, was lower than January-July 2001
(1,407,980),
while the number of events, at 11,843, was somewhat higher (11,658).
more workers beginning in a given month, regardless of the duration of
the
layoffs. Information on the length of the layoff is obtained later and
issued in a quarterly release that reports on mass layoffs lasting more
than 30 days (referred to as "extended mass layoffs") and provides more
information on the industry classification and location of the
establishment and on the demographics of the laid-off workers. Because monthly
figures include short-term layoffs of 30 days or less, the sum of the
figures for the 3 months in a quarter will be higher than the quarterly
figure for mass layoffs of more than 30 days.

the number of workers involved totaled 159,352. (See table 1.) A year
earlier, in June 2001, there were 2,107 mass layoff events involving
253,826 workers. (June 2002 contained 4 weeks for possible mass
layoffs,
compared with 5 weeks in each June of the prior 2 years.) From January
through June 2002, the total number of initial claims, at 1,069,361, was
lower than January-June 2001 (1,134,173), while the number of events, at
9,779, was somewhat higher (9,541).
MASS LAYOFFS IN MAY 2002

Employers initiated 1,726 mass layoff actions in May 2002, as
measured
by new filings for unemployment insurance benefits during the month,
according to the U.S. Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics. Each
action involved at least 50 persons from a single establishment, and the
number
of workers involved totaled 180,007. (See table 1.) A year earlier, in
May 2001, there were 1,434 mass layoff events involving 159,365 workers.
The
number of events and initial claims this year were the highest for the
month
of May since the series began in 1995. (May 2002 contained 5 weeks for
possible mass layoffs, compared with 4 weeks in each May of the prior 3
years.)
From January through May 2002, the total number of events, at 8,222, and
of
initial claims, at 910,009, were higher than January-May 2001 (7,434 and
880,347, respectively).
MASS LAYOFFS IN APRIL 2002

Employers initiated 1,507 mass layoff actions in April 2002, as
measured

according
to the U.S. Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics. Each
action
involved at least 50 persons from a single establishment, and the number
of
workers involved totaled 165,861. (See table 1.) Compared with April
2001,
the number of initial claims declined by 6 percent, while the number of
layoff
events increased by 4 percent. This was the third consecutive month of
overthe-year declines in initial claims due to mass layoffs. However,
because of
high levels in January 2002, the total number of events and initial
claims was
higher in January-April 2002 than in January-April 2001.
more
workers beginning in a given month, regardless of the duration of the
layoffs.
Information on the length of the layoff is obtained later and issued in
a
quarterly release that reports on mass layoffs lasting more than 30 days
(referred to as "extended mass layoffs") and provides more information
on the
industry classification and location of the establishment and on the
demographics of the laid-off workers. Because monthly figures include
short-term
layoffs of 30 days or less, the sum of the figures for the 3 months in a
quarter will be higher than the quarterly figure for mass layoffs of
more
than 30 days. (See table 1.) See the Technical Note for more detailed
definitions.
Industry Distribution
Manufacturing industries accounted for 31 percent of all mass layoff
events and initial claims filed in April. A year earlier, layoffs in
this
sector accounted for 42 percent of events and 45 percent of initial
claims.
The number of initial claimants was highest in food production (9,291,
mostly
in fruit and vegetable canning and in fresh and frozen seafood
processing),
followed by transportation equipment (7,428, primarily in aircraft manufacturing and railroad rolling stock manufacturing) and computer and
electronic products (7,336, mainly in semiconductors and related
devices).
(See table 2.)
of
The administrative and waste services sector accounted for 12 percent
events and 11 percent of initial claims filed during the month, with
layoffs
almost entirely in administrative and support services, particularly
temporary
help services. Seven percent of all layoff events and 9 percent of
initial
claims filed during the month were in transportation and warehousing,
mostly
in transit and ground passenger transportation (school and employee bus
transportation). Eight percent of the events and initial claims were
from
retail trade, mainly in general merchandise stores. The information
sector
accounted for an additional 6 percent of events and 7 percent of initial
claims, largely in motion picture and sound recording and in telecommunications.
Compared with April 2001, the largest decreases in initial claims
were
reported in administrative and support services (-7,598) and
transportation
equipment manufacturing (-6,660). The largest over-the-year increase in
initial claims was reported in transit and ground passenger
transportation
(+5,605).
MASS LAYOFFS IN MARCH 2002

Employers initiated 1,460 mass layoff actions in March 2002, as
month, according to data from the U.S. Department of Labor's Bureau of
Labor Statistics. Each action involved at least 50 persons from a
single
establishment, and the number of workers involved totaled 161,336. (See
table 1.) Compared with March 2001, the number of layoff events
declined
by 4 percent and the number of claimants fell by 6 percent. This was
the
third time in the last four months that layoff events and related
initial
claims declined over the year. However, from January through March
2002,
the total number of events, at 4,989, and initial claims, at 564,141,
were
higher than in January-March 2001 (4,550 and 544,717, respectively).

MASS LAYOFFS IN NOVEMBER 2001
In November 2001, there were 2,699 mass layoff actions by employers
as
single
unemployment insurance were the highest for the month of November since the
series
began in April 1995. (November 2001 contained 5 weeks for possible mass
layoffs, compared with 4 weeks in each of the prior three Novembers.)
Over
the January-November 2001 period, the total number of events, at 18,920,
and
initial claims, at 2,228,945, were substantially higher than in JanuaryNovember 2000, at 13,061 and 1,508,849, respectively.

events,
at 16,221, and initial claims, at 1,935,871, were substantially higher
than
in January-October 2000, at 11,364 and 1,292,335, respectively.
MASS LAYOFFS IN SEPTEMBER 2001
In September 2001, there were 1,316 mass layoff actions by employers
as measured by new filings for unemployment insurance benefits during
the month, according to data from the U.S. Department of Labor's Bureau
of Labor Statistics. Each action involved at least 50 persons from a
single establishment, and the number of workers involved totaled 158,859.
(See table 1.) The number of layoff events and initial claimants for
unemployment insurance were the highest for the month of September since
the series began in April 1995. In January-September 2001, the total
number of events, at 14,405, and initial claims, at 1,723,176, were
substantially higher than in January-September 2000, at 10,490 and
1,188,580, respectively.
The mass layoff data for September includes 3 weeks of initial claims
filings that took place in the weeks that include and follow the
terrorist
attacks of September 11--the weeks ending September 15, 22, and 29. In
addition to the tragic loss of life, the attacks caused many businesses
to
curtail activities and lay off workers. During those 3 weeks, 1,013
mass
layoff events occurred that involved 117,711 workers. It is not
possible
at this time to determine which claims filings can be directly or
indirectly attributed to the September 11 attacks. (See box on page 2.)
It is clear, however, that claims filings in scheduled air
transportation
and in hotels and motels are likely to be related to the attacks. In
January-August 2001, 18 layoff events and 1,523 initial claimants were
reported in the scheduled air transportation industry. In September
alone,
there were 29 events and 6,152 initial claimants in this industry. In
hotels and motels, 189 events and 15,653 initial claimants were
registered
over the January-August period. In September, another 123 events and
20,648 claimants were attributed to this industry.
In August 2001, there were 1,474 mass layoff actions by employers as
single

5
weeks that ended in the month compared with 4 weeks in each of the prior
three Augusts.) In January-August 2001, the total number of events, at
