will be primarily for educators in Northern Illinois. You are all welcome to come. I will be passing out applications for those of you who may know of people in your home areas who may be interested in that particular institute.
So, thank you again, Dr. Mace, you are doing a wonderful job.
Dr. MACE: Thank you.
Mr. MARCHISHIN: Are there any other comments or question?
(No response)
I will take that as a motion to accept the report Everyone in favor?
(Chorus of ayes)
The report is accepted.
Going on to the budget now. Has everyone had an opportunity to review the proposed budget? Are there any questions?
(No response)
If there are no questions, I would like to have a motion for the budget to be ac¬cepted.
Ambassador DOUGLAS: Mr. Chairman, I move the acceptance of the budget as presented to the Commission.
VOICE: Second.
Mr. MARCHISHIN: Everyone in favor.
I (Chorus of ayes)
Opposed?
(No response)
Dr. MACE: Would Dr. Conquest please come forward?
Congressman GILMAN: Mr. Chairman, before you start the witness testimony, I regret I was late, we had another committee meeting. Was some mention made of the proposed hearing up in New York State area?
Dr. MACE: Yes, it was stated that a hearing will be held in Glen Spey, New York, on the 25th of October, from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m., if I am not mistaken.
Congressman GILMAN: And, again, we would welcome the Commission members who would like to participate, and any witnesses who may live in that region, or in the surrounding region who would like to give testimony, we certainly would welcome having them attend our hearing. And we look forward to having a productive hearing at that time.
Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
Mr. MARCHISHIN: Okay, with that, the next item on our agenda is the testimony of Dr. Robert Conquest, the author of The Harvest of Sorrow, the scholarly monograph on the Ukrainian famine published by Oxford University Press.

Now, I would like to bring to the Commission’s attention, there has been a book review in the New York Times just yesterday of Harvest of Sorrow. And I think all of us on the Commission have copies of this, but I would like to ask-there are some people in the audience, I don’t know if all of them have a copy of this review.

If possible, I would like to have copies made available to them today.

All right, with that out of the way, I would like to ask Dr. Conquest to continue with his testimony.
