Transcript	THE FULBRIGHT PROGRAM: A HISTORY Mr. FULBRIGHT. Mr. President, I wish to call attention to a recent book by Walter Johnson and Francis J. Colligan entitled "The Fulbright Program: A History." Walter Johnson is Preston and Sterling Morton professor of history at the University of Chicago. He has been a member of the Board of Foreign Scholarships since 1947 and has provided continuity and leadership in promoting educational exchange programs. From 1950 to 1953, he served as chairman of the Board of Foreign Scholarships. Francis J. Colligan is Director of Policy Review and Coordination for the Bureau of Education and Cultural Affairs at the Department of State. Mr. Colligan has also been associated with the exchange program since 1947 and during the years from 1948 until 1957 he was executive secretary of the program. Both Walter Jolmson and Francis Colligan have done a truly remarkable job in describing the postwar development of U.S. exchange programs. They have been able to do this because they have been active participants. At the same time, their participation has not destroyed their critical faculties and the book which they have produced is, I believe, a fair treatment of the successes and the failures of what has become known as the Fulbright program. I am glad to note for the record that the successes have far outnumbered and outweighed the failures. Members of the Senate I know receive many communications from their constituents requesting information about the availability of Fulbright grants and other questions regarding the program. This study by Messrs. Johnson and Colligan will be helpful not only to Members in answering inquiries but to individuals and institutions in the United States that have been involved in the program. As author of the original legislation in this field, which was in the nature of an amendment to the Surplus Property Act of 1944, I wish to take this occasion to say that the program could never have succeeded had it not been for the hard work and perseverance and support of men like Walter Johnson and Francis Colligan. Throughout 20 years of this program, they have been aided by many other people in the academic and business community too numerous to mention. Any program can fail if it is not properly administered and supported by the American public. This program, I am glad to say, has had this support.
