Dr. WERES: I would like to clarify and dispel some possible misconceptions. When I was speaking about fund-raising, the question of restricted versus unrestricted, what I had in mind, I can foresee a situation in which Ukrainian organizations in California may decide we urgently need a professionally written curriculum unit, and this is something that we in California would have much more ability to fund and to ex¬ecute ourselves, and what I had in mind is, you now, the possibility of raising funds to give to the Commission for the specific task of preparing those curriculum materials either directly by Commission staff or by subcontract to contract the appropriate scholars.
Dr. KUROPAS: I’d just like to caution you on that. Every state and for that matter every school board has its own way of doing things. In the Chicago school system they have a unit called Man’s Inhumanity to Man, and they have only three or four pages on each of these items, on the Armenian Massacre, on the Holocaust. I think that we have to tailor what we do to the local needs. It has to be done locally.

I think this Commission can provide the guidelines, could provide a bulk of informa¬tion, but every group is going to have to locally do it, which makes it better anyway be¬cause then we have the local involvement and the local follow-up by the Ukrainians lo¬cally, and I think we can provide the inspiration for local groups to do that.
Mr. MARCHISHIN! Any other point of discussion?
(No response)
I’d like to add one more item for our consideration. Tomorrow is, of course, April 24th, and the Armenian-American community and the world-wide Armenian com¬munity observes April 24th as the commemorative date of the genocide, the Armenian Massacre that was perpetrated against one and a half million people of the Armenian nation, and unfortunately the 20th century has seen this new phenomenon of crimes against whole populations and nations, and I think it behooves us to take a few mo¬ments and remember this occurrence along with the Ukrainian famine.
Okay. Is there any other discussion or points?
Ms. MAZURKEVICH: Before we adjourn, I think that I speak on behalf of myself and my fellow Commissioners when we commend Congressman Dan Mica for taking upon himself the chairmanship of the Ukrainian Famine Commission, He has dedi¬cated a lot of time and effort in exposing the famine, and it’s going to be a long and ar¬duous task, but I feel that we can rest assured that we are going to do our utmost to publicize and to reach the goals of the Commission.
I move that we adjourn,
Mr. MARCHISHIN: Is there a second?
From the FLOOR: Second
Mr. MARCHISHIN: Second.
All in favor? ‘ (Chorus of ayes)
Opposed?
(No response)
The meeting is adjourned.
Congratulations to everyone on a very successful organizational meeting of the Uk¬raine Famine Commission.
(Whereupon, the meeting was adjourned at 11:52 a.m.)
