DIRECTORY
OF
RESOURCES
For International Cultural and
Educational Exchanges
FOREWORD
This Directory provides an inventory of U.S. government and private organizations that administer exchange
programs and related educational activities aimed at strengthening mutual understanding between Americans and
the peoples of other nations. It is the hope of the Directory's editors that the Directory will facilitate public contact
with the organizations listed and foster increased contact between the organizations themselves. Descriptive
narratives are drawn from material provided by the organizations or obtained from other directories.
While it is the editors’ intention to provide a comprehensive listing of exchange organizations, there will inevitably
and regrettably be some relevant institutions overlooked. We also caution readers that inclusion in the Directory
in no way constitutes endorsement by the U.S. Information Agency or any other agency of the U.S. government.
Finally, we have intentionally omitted individual academic institutions whose international programs are collectively
sO numerous they would require a separate directory.
At the end of the Directory the reader will find an alphabetical listing, a subject index which categorizes agencies
and organizations according to principal fields of interest and a tist of acronyms.
We sincerely hope that this publication will be of lasting value to users both overseas and in the United States.

UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT
DEPARTMENTS AND AGENCIES
Entries for U.S. Government departments and agencies list only those offices which have international programs
or their own or are points of contact for international visitors.
In most instances, the purposes and programs of these offices are self-explanatory; for others, a descriptive line
or two is included. More detailed information is generally readily available since most government agencies issue
information or fact sheets about their programs.
Addresses are given for offices within a department or agency when they differ from that of the headquarters. It
can be assumed that individual offices listed without addresses either are located in or may be contacted through
the headquarters.
The user's attention is drawn to another publication published annually by the U.S. Information Agency which
directly complements this Directory’s government section--the annual Report on U.S. Government International
Excahnd Tarainning gProegram s. It provides detailed data on approximately 100 exchange and training programs
administered by 23 federal agencies. Copies may be obtained free of charge from:
