The report discusses how the exchange programs contribute to the reduction of asymmetry that exists between East and West, the effects of the Helsinki Accords of 1975, tensions with and within the U.S. academic community, new areas of research and new problems, especially those related to human rights. The overwhelming problem remains financing. Though small upward corrections in the budget ameliorated the situation somewhat. The report says that “Most of our East European programs have already been slashed by half, and we still do not know whether we shall be able to continue them after

1976-1977__Even to stand still now absorbs more and more of our

energies.”
