Some time ago, the United Nations General Assembly asked all member nations to observe the 20th Anniversary year of the UN., and to focus their attention on the possitive things that men and nations could do to help one another solve mutual problems in every field of human endeavor. In response to that Resolution, President Johnson designated 1965 as "Intemational Cooperation Year" in the United States. A White House Conference was called "to search and explore and canvas and thoroughly discuss every conceivable approach and avenue of cooperation that could lead to peace." A National Citizens' Commission on Intemational Cooperation was set up, composing of the nation's most distinguished civic, business, scientific, educational and cultural leaders^ brought together by the United Nations Association of the U.S.A.
