Mr. MARCHISHIN: It came out of Congressman Florio’s office in that way, and that’s the way it went through the whole process, and it didn’t get edited in the hear¬ings or any of the other processes to reword that, and that’s just the way it went
through, as “the Ukraine Famine”. .

I agree it sounds a little bit clumsy to me, but that’s not a major consideration, I
don’t think. We know what it’s all about

Dr. KUROPAS: Will there be recommendations in that report?
Dr. MACE: That’s up to the Commission.
Dr. KUROPAS: The attached statement doesn’t necessarily state that there will not be. It could be with recommendations.
Dr. MACE: Certainly, it could be. That is what you will be deciding over the course of the next couple of years.
Mr. MARCHISHIN: There are a couple of questions that I have, and I’d like to understand Section 4, Paragraph 2, where it says, The Chairman may appoint committees of scholars to study various questions coming within the Commission.” I just wanted to clarify this.
This is not another project that we were considering that we would be hiring some scholars from time to time to undertake certain projects; this is another kind of a task.
Dr.MACE: Yes.
Mr. MARCHISHIN: Strictly in an advisory capacity?
Dr. MACE: Right If you will turn to the memorandum on the work of the Ukraine Famine Commission, which is in your folder, from the Chairman, this relates to Point 4 of the memorandum, and this is a very good time to discuss it

This was a proposal that I discussed with the Chairman. In order to coordinate the efforts of such individuals, volunteers, scholars in the field, and to have their input, the Chairman proposed the creation of a scholarly council, the members of which would serve on a voluntary basis. We came up with a number of names of people who would be appropriate for such a scholarly council: Professor Martha Bohachevsky-Chomiak, Robert Conquest, Professor Rakowsky, who has volunteered to do some research in Europe, Ivan Hvat, who is at Radio Liberty in Munich, Professor George Kulchytsky of Youngstown State University, Professor Roman Szporluk of the University of Michigan, Professor Tamara Miller, who has carried out oral histories in the Memphis area, Mr. Ivan Bezugloff who is a representative of the Don Cossack community and it’s a way for them to have some input into what happened during the famine in the North Caucasus, Professor Dmytro Shtohryn, Slavic librarian at the University of Il¬linois, Professor Bohdan Krawchenko, head of the Canadian Institute of Ukrainian Studies, Mr. Lev Kopelev from Cologne, West Germany, Dr. Vasyl Hryshko, Professor Mykola Stepanenko, Professor John Samilenko, the latter three, famine survivors.

That was trying to provide the mechanism where this could be accomplished through the by-laws. Mr. MARCHISHIN: I assume that this list isn’t intended to be an exhaustive list .
Dr. MACE: No, in no way.
Mr. MARCHISHIN: Because I just heard last night during the reception that at the University of Notre Dame, someone has been doing some work there at Notre Dame
