Appendix

Proposal for the Professional Affairs Committee (PAC),
the Independent Federation of Chinese Students and 
scholars (IFCSS)

>From : 	Dr. Yanpei Deng, nominee for the chairman of PAC, 
		the Oak Ridge National Laboratory

TO:		IFCSS HQ AND IFCSS Council

DATE:	August 11, 1993

I.	INTRODUCTION

	It has been four years since IFCSS was founded in 1989.  Since 
then, large number of Chinese students and scholars (CSS) have 
graduated from schools and started their professional career in the 
U.S.  Many of them are former IFCSS officials, the delegates of the 
previous IFCSS Congresses, and CSS who have supported and 
participated IFCSS and its activities.  These CSS are basically the 
people with advanced degrees and great deal of knowledge in their 
professional fields, some of them have already made great 
achievement.  

	For the past years, many CSS organizations have emerged as 
various fashions.  Some of the organization are established on the 
basis of common goals (e.g. Chinese Academy Link and China News 
Digest) or as fields of professions (e.g., the associations for political 
science and economics).  These two types are usually the nationwide 
organizations.  Their members are connected through the remote 
communication tools, such as, mail, computer networks and 
telecommunication facilities.  Generally, it is a loose connection.  The 
most majority of the organizations are formed on the basis of regions 
(e.g. East Tennessee Chinese Association and Midwest Chinese Science 
and Culture Association).  These regional organizations attract local 
CSS professionals and provide social, cultural, and entertaining 
opportunities for their members.  At same time, they also participate 
in the political activities involving their own interests both locally 
and nationally (e.g. CSPA lobby).

	It has been a common understanding both inside IFCSS and in 
general public among CSS that IFCSS must pay greater attention 
toward its grass root organizations and their needs.  The new IFCSS 
leadership has committed to work on this issue and put it as one of 
the highest priorities.  By doing so, two group of the CSS have to be 
considered.  One is the group of CSS who are still in the school, and 
certainly, another group are the those who have graduated.  The 
major task of the IFCSS Professional Affairs Committee (SHE4 TUAN2 
SHI4 WU4 GONG1 ZUO4 WEI3 YUAN2 HUI4 in Chinese), as the old 
name of the Professional Club, is to build the communication 
channels and strengthen the connections between IFCSS and the local 
CSS organizations; to increase IFCSS's influence among the CSS 
communities and in the American society.

II.	PLANS

1. Local CSS professional organizations

	PAC will emphasize on the local CSS professional organizations 
and encourage these organization to join IFCSS as members.  For the 
places where is no CSS organization exited, PAC will help to organize 
CSS in the towns, cities and regions.  The revised IFCSS charter 
during the third IFCSS Congress certainly has provided wider 
opportunity for these organizations involving IFCSS's activities.  
According to the suggests from IFCSS HQ and PAC's consideration, the 
membership fee can be collected on the basis of $10 per person 
through the local organizations as form of donation to IFCSS and the 
organizations will be registered with IFCSS as well.  PAC will improve 
the public outreach to introduce IFCSS and let CSS recognize IFCSS's 
achievements and activities.

	PAC will name four vice-chairpersons who will be in charge of 
East Coast, West Coast, Midwest, and South regions.  As a resident of 
the State of Tennessee, this nominee will involved daily operation of 
the Southeast region.

	Moreover, the IFCSS HQ is in the process of negotiation with the 
Asian American Association for the long distance telephone service.  
The IFCSS HQ and PAC have planned to provide telephone cards to 
the individuals whose organizations have joined IFCSS with charge in 
discount value.  The phone card can also be treated as identification 
of IFCSS membership.  In addition, IFCSS can financially benefit from 
the service as well.

2. IFCSS Golden Conference (IGC)

	Without exceptions, the CSS who come to the U.S. all face the 
enormous gaps between the east and west cultures as well as the 
different social values, social behavior and different societies.   
Although vary few incidents have happened, such as, the several 
suicides and homicides cases under the tremendous psychological 
stress which, more or less, may result from these cultural gaps, it has 
shocked the whole CSS communities.  It is our obligation, as part of 
CSS, to pay attention to these issues.  IGC will provide an opportunity 
for the CSS who have expertise in these fields to share their studies, 
to contribute and ease the CSS communities in this country.
q
	The China's economy has been booming for the past few years.  
Many CSS are interested in participating in this historical event.  IGC 
will also provide the platform for the discussion of the China's 
political reform and economic development.

	The name of Golden Conference is initially from a series 
conferences in the scientific world, which are usually held in small 
colleges during the season of summer vocation in order to save 
budget.  Generally, the conferences are in relatively causal fashions.  

	IGC will be held in a small college of a big city in the summer 
next year.  PAC will take the obligation for the found raising, and 
hopefully, IGC can also get financial support from IFCSS HQ.

	PAC form a IGC organization committee, including committee 
chairperson and several program chairpersons in charge of various 
sessions of sociology, psychology, political science, and economic, etc.

3. Professional Data Bank

	PAC will set a computerized CSS Professional Data Bank (PDB) 
to help the CSS professionals seeking employment in various fields.  
PDB will collect information from the CSS professional and provide 
the information to potential employers, the employment service 
agencies, and related information centers.  PDB will also provide the 
information to the different levels of governmental Human Resources 
Offices, companies, and information centers in China.  The service of 
PDB for CSS will be free of charge, however, fee will be charged for 
the information and service for these interested employers, agencies, 
and centers for their needs.

	PAC will name a director for the PDB and several associated 
directors in charge of the different field, such as, physical sciences, 
life sciences, social sciences, and engineering, etc.

4. Nationwide CSS professional organizations

	Most of the members of these national CSS organizations are 
also the members of the local CSS organizations.  As the nationwide 
organizations, they have made great progress in certain fields.  PAC 
will form an Advisory Board consist of the officials of these 
organizations in order to improve their communication and 
cooperation with IFCSS.  The advisors will be named by the joined 
invitation of the president of IFCSS and the chairman of PAC.

5. Legal advisor

	PAC will invite a U.S. law attorney as the legal advisor for 
handling the cases requiring legal service.

III.	CONCLUSION

	As a national organization for the CSS in the U.S., the future of 
IFCSS will be determined by the support and participation of large 
majority of the CSS in this country.  On the another hand, lot of CSS 
have realized that it is necessary having a such organization to 
protect their interest and to express their voice.  The driving force 
for CSS to involve the IFCSS activities has to be the combination of 
the basis of both spiritual and materialized values.  By recognizing 
the importance of the ordinary CSS and these basis, IFCSS shall have 
a bright future.
