This "Thunderbird" is focusing primarily on Latin
America. As many of you will remember, the American
Graduate School of International Management was
originally established to stress the Spanish language and
to prepare graduates for Latin American living. Thirty-two
years later Spanish remains the most popular language
of the eight offered here, but the school's impact is
worldwide. We now have over 13,000 graduates in over
100 countries around the world. However, there is a
remarkable number of Thunderbirds who have been and
still are living and working in Latin America.
In contrast to the beginnings of the school when the
entire student body was from North America, we are now
getting a large number of Latin American students here
to learn American management technology and the
English language. This year for instance, we have
students from Venezuela, Uruguay, Colombia, Ecuador,
Brazil and Mexico.
You graduates will be interested in knowing that 24
percent of our student body are now from foreign
countries. Twenty-eight percent of the new class entering
June of 1978 are from other countries.
One of the most significant things you Thunderbirds
can do for your alma mater is to refer promising students
to us. This school, more than any other I know of, has
been built on referrals by graduates, friends and
admirers. We have a goal of 25 percent of our entire
student body coming from foreign countries. We would
appreciate your help, particularly those of you in Latin
America, Europe, the Middle East, the Far East and
around the world, in finding and referring to us
outstanding graduate students.

Editorial As I see it • •
Where to begin ... since my arrival at the
Thunderbird Campus, I have been warmly received by
alumni, faculty, staff, students and friends. The
experience of assuming responsibilities for so promising
a program in alumni relations has proven enjoyable, but
hectic.
I think it is only fair to advise you of the direction we
hope to take and the ends we plan to pursue.
American Graduate School of International
Management is not your usual kind of educational
institution. Thunderbirds are also a special breed of
alumni. Your interests are on the international scene;
whether your current responsibilities are domestically
oriented or you are involved in international aspects of
work, you are probably interested in:
1. International business and/or culture.
2. What is happening at Thunderbird?
3. Where are other T-Birds and what are they doing?
The Thunderbird is intended to be one of the ways we
hope to keep you up-to-date.
•
The most recent issue was called The Changing
Thunderbird. You may notice a few more changes in this
issue. We have added a recipe page and encourage
alumni and their spouses to share favorite dishes from
around the world. We would like to see more in the way of
ideas for articles relating to special interests of T-Birds.
And, last but not least, we desire greater feed-back from
our alumni that we may better serve your interests.
This issue of The Thunderbird will focus on Latin
America and the vast potential swelling up in that part of
the world. Recent news developments that have made
the headlines have included Peru's effort to restructure
that nation's estimated $4.4 billion debt, an order from
Venezuela for 10 hydroelectric power stations, the World
Bank's announcement that it will lend Brazil $173 million
for a major petrochemical project and public transport
facil ities, and the $60 million in World Bank funds for
Argentina's efforts to increase production of grains,
cotton, oilseed crops and livestock.
It is our goal in this and subsequent issues to attempt
to provide coverage with the international perspective on
specific areas of the world, but certainly not ignoring
other global developments. We are not a news magazine,
per se, but we feel that, in addition to our usual alumni­oriented
articles, we owe our Thunderbirds coverage of
items of interest both personally and professionally in
business and culture.
We would like to stress again that we must count on
you and your access to news of interest to T-Birds around
2
the world and to share those items with us. For example,
we would like to incorporate more photographs from
around the world that reflect not only the news, but the
lifestyle and customs of the country in which you are
living or have recently visited. (While we welcome color
shots, black and white are easier to reproduce.) We
would like to have a photography featu re page, but we
need your help.
I have recently visited alumni groups in San Francisco,
Washington, D.C. and New York. Their suggestions have
been most helpful. I am looking forward to meeting many
more T-Birds during my future travels to various alumni
functions and welcome your suggestions for the alumni
relations program. . . in person, by telephone or by mail.
The greatest reward for doing is the opportunity to do
more!

Director of Alumni Relations
Latin America:
one T-Bird's perspective
The Thunderbird Fund's
international chairman
discusses AGSIM and his
views on Latin America
(Editor's note: Raul P. Masvidal, '66, Chairman of the
Board of Biscayne Bank in Miami, exemplifies the quality
of graduates from the Thunderbird Campus. Mr.
Masvidal's hard work and determination have resulted in
his rapid rise through the ranks of banking from resident
vice president with Citibank in New York and Puerto Rico
from 1967 to 1973 to president of Royal Trust Bank in
Miami until 1977. He then assumed his present post.
American Graduate School of International
Management is fortunate to have the distinguished and
capable leadership of Mr. Masvidal as international
chairman of the Thunderbird Fund.
The questions regarding Latin America were submitted
to Mr. Masvidal for his consideration and comments
through the efforts of James A. Lavorato, '78, now
department manager, international accounting and
finance, with the Mellon Bank in Pittsburgh. Mr. Lavorato
is a May graduate of AGSIM and, in addition to his MIM.
holds an MBA. His assistance as a student is greatly
appreciated.)
Q. How did you learn about the Thunderbird
Campus?
A. Dr. John Dyer, professor of international marketing
at the University of Miami was the first person who
ever mentioned the school to me. This occurred
during my senior year at UM while my plans were to
enter law school at the University of Miami.
However, I changed my mind after I heard from a
friend who had graduated a semester earlier and
went to Thunderbird.
Raul P. Mas vidal, '66
Q. What was the deciding factor(s) in your
attending?
A. At the time the school offered excellent possibilities
in terms of getting a job with a major New York
bank. I knew I wanted to go to work for a bank with
an international orientation. I also wanted to
concentrate on Latin America and Thunderbird
seemed to provide fairly good chances of being
hired by either Citibank or Chase which in those
days were basically the only names in banking as
far as Latin America was concerned.
Q. How has your career been aided by your
educational experience here?
A. A degree in liberal arts has never been the best
education to go into business. Nor was a BFT the
equivalent of an MBA in 1966. I think that
Thunderbird's curriculum when I attended was a

good complement to my undergraduate degree;
particularly its pragmatic approach to business
education. I never got to use the Portuguese I
learned, as I never had a chance to work in Brazil.
Ironically, twelve years later, here in Miami I'm now
finding a real need to speak Portuguese the way I
did then.
What are your most vivid memories?
The day after I registered at Thunderbird, I was
called in by the Placement Director to be warned
that he felt very negative about the possibilities of
finding a job for me after graduation. I was not a U.S.
citizen and my fluency in English wasn't exactly
overwhelming. I think he tried to encourage me to
drop out before I ruined his "offer per student"
average. He also gave me some good advice: "at
least, please try to get good grades to see what we
can do for you. . ." Well, I don't think I had any
problems in getting the job I wanted with the help of
Paul Wilson, in particular. I think that day was the
low point of my Thunderbird experience and it
definitely ranks as one of my most vivid memories.
What do you think the attitude of the
international business community towards
AGSIM is and what more can we do to enhance
our role as a graduate school in international
management?
AGSIM is clearly established today within the
international business community. The school is
well respected and continues to improve its
reputation worldwide at a very dramatic pace.
Besides it's role increases in importance in
geometrical proportions with so many Thunderbird
graduates arriving at key positions with the multi­nationals
as the school matures. We have to
remember that the school is barely 30 years young
and up until about 1970, graduating classes were
relatively small.
I think the most significant impact on the
international business community will be felt in the
" ... the most significant
impact ... will be felt in
the 1980's ... "
1980's when the graduates of the decade of the
70's will start moving into the higher echelons of
management.
The academic reputation of the school has
gained tremendously under President William Voris
and the new programs started in recent years. Also,
the quality of the faculty has improved so much that
it's hard to believe. All of this will have a positive
effect in the education of the international business
executive of tomorrow.
Knowing that private support of higher
education is increasing, what potential and
goals do you, as International Thunderbird Fund
Chairman, have for the Fund?

would make a better attraction at Madison Square
Garden than the best rock concert if they were
given a chance to explain how the school has
managed to survive, from a financial standpoint,
from year to year.
It's ironic that a school solely devoted to the
training of international businessmen receives far
less financial support from the major corporations
of the U.S. than most liberal arts colleges. I think it's
time to provide some emphasis to the financial
aspect of the school. Otherwise, the gains achieved
in recent years are not going to stay with us.
Having been away from the school for 11 years, I
found the financial goals unrealistically modest
considering the contribution Thunderbird now
makes to the business community of the world.
We've got to make graduates aware that financial
support of the school is not merely a question of
loyalty and gratitude, it's a sound investment with
an almost tangible return. I think we should disclose
budget details to the alumni, as I'm sure that they
will understand better how AGSIM's future progress
is tied directly to our own efforts to drum up
support.
Do you see international business as a major
influence in global relations? If so, how and
what direction will it take?
I believe the world has changed so much during the
last five years that the attitude of U.S. business has
been forced to change. We are no longer the only
game in town when it comes to international
commerce and capital investments. I find it a very
healthy trend for the stabilization of international
relations. I do think a more balanced and
competitive atmosphere has required certain major
adjustments in the international strategy of the
American multinationals.
The enormous achievements of Japan, West
Germany and emerging powers such as Brazil have
to result in a better environment for the developing
countries as their bargaining position improves vis
a vis the strong countries. I believe that major
economic disruptions such as the energy crisis
would have resulted in a world war 20 years ago as
no super power would have tolerated a group of
smaller countries bringing it down to its knees as
the oil producing countries did to us.
The fact that we have been able to face the hard
facts and negotiate on the basis of trade terms
rather than go to war is a positive sign of the
maturity of our nation and the training of its leaders.
The Peruvian Government is in the midst of a
major financial crisis. What would be the
consequences if Peru were to default on her
loans outstanding to some of the major financial
institutions?
I think the Peruvian government and some other
nations have been on the brink of financial chaos so
frequently during the past five years that the major
financial institutions of the world have sort of
discounted the news. I find it very unlikely that any
major country of the world will be allowed to go into
financial default. Even New York City has been in
the same kind of situation and the practical side of A The Miami experience is very unique. Miami is

he is just playing his old game: setting the stage in
order to come to the bargaining table with a
stronger hand. I would predict that he will give up
his intervention in Africa in exchange for the
normalization of relations. Then the Carter
administration will call that a victory. I wouldn't be
surprised at all if he wanted Guantanamo back too.
It wouldn't surprise me either if the U.S. gave it
away. I don't think it means that much to this
country any more.
Do you consider yourself a "fast-track"
professional?
I hadn't heard the term since I left Citibank. As we
all know, everything is relative. I have done a lot of
"running" in the past to achieve my objectives; I
consider myself now an "off-track" businessman.
I'm no longer trying to beat anyone for a promotion
as I have achieved most of my own professional
objectives. Frankly, most of my concern now is
centered on leaving my children a name they can
feel proud of.
Did you develop your career with designs on
gOing into business for yourself?
Very definitely. I think that the only reason why I
didn't become independent sooner was because I
enjoyed working for Citibank so much. Being a

Diego Veitia
T-Bird success story in Costa Rica
Costa Rica is a country well known for its potential
growth due, in part, for the influx of expertise from the
United States and other countries. A Cuban-born
graduate of AGSIM, Diega Veitia, is a partner in a growing
investment management and international brokerage
formed with Dr. Robert Adler, a former investment
management teacher in Los Angeles.
Together, they control Bona, SA, an investment
management corporation, which began operations
August 19, 1976 with a $75,000 (Costa Rican dollars)
volume - buying and selling stocks and securities for
client orders. Monthly volume has grown steadily since.
By the end of 1976, volume was up to $2,824,000 and is
presently in the $25 million range monthly.
Veitia, 34, had been in Central America for 12 years
and was mancfging a business in Alajuela, growing
ornamental plants for export.
The partnership formed with Adler resulted in Veitia
being elected a director of the Brokers' Association, a
newly formed organization in Costa Rica, and his
becoming a member of the Bolsa de Val ores, Costa
Rica's national stock exchange. Veitia now handles the
relations with the exchange for Bona SA and in 1977,
Bona negotiated with Dow-Jones Corporation to
supervise a two-page spread on Costa Rica for the Wall
Street Journal.
6
In September of 1977, Veitia went to New York and
passed the brokers examination of the National
Association of Security Dealers. In October, the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission notified Bona that
it was formally recognized as a fully registered foreign
broker dealer.
In January of this year, Bona went public, but they are
still looking to the future. To become a fully developed
financial service in the area, Veitia and his partner, Adler,
hope to have a bank going by the end of the year.
During a telephone conversation with Veitia in Costa
Rica, he indicated that Bona, SA has recently hired
another T-Bird, Charles Russell Sexauer, '57, formerly
with Merrill Lynch in Caracas, Venezuela, to join their
team.
Veitia holds very positive feelings for the Thunderbird
Campus and his experience there, as well as for other
T-Birds.
" It is obvious that the exposure to international
business, along with the practical and theoretical
instruction, served me well as stepping stones to my
present position," said Veitia. It is just that sort of
background that Veitia feels will best serve the business
interests of Costa Rica and the world.

Guest speakers on campus
Labor a positive force
I.W. Abel, the founder and former international
president of the United Steelworkers of America, spoke
at American Graduate School of International
Management April 11.
Abel addressed a large group of alumni, faculty, staff
and students and advised them that labor organizations
in the United States today serve as positive forces. He
stressed that unions are not anti-industry, nor are they out
to destroy free enterprise. To do so, according to Abel,
would eliminate the need for unions. In fact, Abel
described how the United Steelworkers of America and
other unions operate much like major corporations
themselves.
Abel added that he has never had an interest in sitting
across the bargaining table from a bankrupt corporation.
"I learned a long time ago that you can't pull a bucket of
water from a dry well ," said Abel. A profit making
company is in the best interest of the union, he added.
Abel's career began in 1936 and has spanned more
than forty years during which he has made the transition
from one of labor's most feared leaders to one of the
most respected. Abel enjoyed a relationship during his
later years in labor of being able to call up corporate
heads and saying, on a first name basis, that there was a
need to work out some problems.
Abel was elected international president of the
U.S.WA in 1965 and was re-elected in 1969 and 1973.
He retired under the union's mandatory retirement age
rule in October of 1977.
Britain means business
The Honorable Peter Jay, ambassador of Great Britain
to the United States, came to Thunderbird March 6th, to
speak to a full audience on the topic, "Britain Means
Business."
In an informative, frank and often humorous way,
Ambassador Jay appraised the economic policies of the
United Kingdom in the early '70's that caused inflation to
climb to 30% by 1975. (One policy he mentioned was the
doubling of the money supply in 1973 in hopes of
lowering unemployment.) Such measures brought Britain
to the brink of economic chaos.
Jay was quick to point out that by 1977, Britain, due to
incoming North Sea oil and wage freezes offered by the
labor unions, was regaining confidence in its economy
and political leaders. The inflat.ion rate had been reduced
to 7%, foreign investments were flowing into the country,
the stock market was on the rise and a reserve surplus
had accrued to the $17 billion mark.
Ambassador Jay joined the British Civil Service in
1961 , but in 1964 resigned to become the economics
editor of The Times. In 1969 he was appointed an
associate editor of The Times Business News. From
1972 until his appointment as Ambassador to the U.S.
(July, 1977), he was also presenter of "Weekend World,"
8
an independent television Sunday morning current
affairs series. In 1973 he was named Political
Broadcaster of the Year, and also the Harold Wincott
Financial and Economic Journalist of the Year. In 1974,
Time magazine listed 150 future leaders of the world,
and Mr. Jay was among six allotted to Britain.

development for the government of Quebec, Canada,
spoke to a group of students, faculty and staff on May 2
at the Thunderbird Campus.
Landry's speech, "Quebec, the New Reality," touched
on the province's economy, the separatism issue and
U.S. business involvement in Quebec. He pointed out that
businesses have recently been forced by new
regulations to make French the language of work,
advertising, and to use French alone in business
communication. When both English and French are used,
French must be emphasized.
The effect of this requirement has recently received
much coverage due to its impact on business, education
and the general way of life in the Province of Quebec.
Landry is an attorney who has served with the Labor
Council for Human Rights of the Canadian Labor
Congress. During the decade of the '60's, he was the
executive assistant for Rene Levesque, then minister of
natural resources in the Lesage cabinet. Landry assumed
his present position soon after Levesque became
premier of Quebec in 1976.
Carter and the economy
Mr. Louis Rukeyser, author, lecturer, syndicated
columnist, broadcaster and currently host to the PBS
"Wall Street Week," spoke at AGSIM on Wednesday,
March 29th to a capacity crowd.
Mr. Rukeyser addressed himself to two major
predictions for the U.S. economy and expectations for
Jimmy Carter. He views President Carter as an economic
moderate whose record after the first year in office was
filled with contradicting economic programs and
ambiguous policies. This behavior, he feels, left the
investment community "jittery about Jimmy." Mr.
Rukeyser praised Carter, however, for his desire and
ability to learn from his mistakes.
As far as the economy itself is concerned, Rukeyser
outlined ten areas in which our attention should focus in
order to curb inflation and stimulate the economy. These
areas range from public economic education to
Government restrictions and foreign policy.
Summarizing, Rukeyser viewed the American economy
optimistically, citing it as being still the most powerful
production machine on the globe.
"What's right with the American economy is the
enormous production capacity of the American people.
What's wrong . . . is . . . that the Government has
become overextended, overpaid and underfoot."

scene of an outdoor picnic in April, attended by almost
50 alumni and friends. August brought news of a buffet
dinner at a restaurant in Mexico City with 65 alumni
gathered for this event. A monthly luncheon on the first

In addition, this amazing group developed a surplus in
their treasury of $250 dollars which they contributed to

generosity of the Mexico City alumni is appreciated, as is
their obvious enthusiasm.

Balloon race scheduled
Each year around the first week of November, the
Friends of Thunderbird (FOT) send two dozen eggs to the
Sisters of Santa Clara . .. to ward off the evil rains that
might dampen spirits during the weekend of the
Thunderbird Invitational Balloon Race. The donation of
eggs is a tradition started by matrons in the Phillipines to
safeguard their tea parties from the monsoons. So far, it
seems to work. Last year, the two weekends before the
annual event were wet and windy, but the weekend of the
race was one of beautiful hot-air ballooning weather.
This year, FOT hopes for more of the same. The race,
believed to be the only benefit sponsored race in the
country, will take place on the weekend of November 18
and 19. FOT, in conjunction with the City of Glendale,
hopes to have fifty balloons fly in this year's race, and to
have as a special feature, the planned participation of

John Tomlinson ('58), Sandy Stone ('69), and Timothy
and Mary Reed ('57).

race coordinator, at 938-7011 .
On Friday, November 17, the Friends of Thunderbird

scholarship funds. They are seeking alumni, parents and
friends from around the world to donate objects from
their countries; American as well as foreign-made
products may be included. Items may be directed to the
alumni office at the Thunderbird campus. Articles
donated in the past have ranged from Papermate pens
with the Thunderbird logo to a huge ceremonial mask

AGSIM markets international
workshops through INTERCOM
American Graduate School of International
Management has prepared a series of two-day
workshops on the international aspects of marketing,
finance and management. These workshops are a part of
the newly established executive training service which
has been designated International Counsel for
Management (iNTERCOM).
Duane Hall, associate professor of world business and
executive director of INTERCOM, is coordinating the
development of the workshops in an effort to make the
considerable resources of AGSIM available worldwide.
At the same time, according to Prof. Hall, the workshops
will further develop the graduate school's contact with
the corporate world.
"It is just such progressive academic developments,
combined with practical applications in international
management, that have maintained the high regard for
AGSIM and Thunderbirds around the world," said Hall.
The investment on the part of the corporate sponsors
of the workshops would consist of an instructional fee of
$2,250, plus travel and related expenses for the
workshop faculty. The instructional fee covers all
materials, preparation and instructional time.
Hall indicated that he would welcome referrals by
Thunderbi rds across the nation and around the world
who may be interested in seeing such workshops
sponsored by their employers. He also suggested that
AGSIM is prepared to custom ta ilor a workshop to the
special interests of any firm. The number of participants
may vary accord ing to the needs of the sponsor.
Thunderbirds in the area of a sponsored workshop may
also benefit as the office of alumni relations is planning
Thunderbird Forums in conjunction with scheduled
workshops. These forums would allow T-Bird alumni to
take advantage of the presence of faculty from campus
to meet with other T-Birds and engage in meaningful
dialogue.
Further details on the workshops are provided in this
issue.
Feagles presented
Jonas Mayer Award
Robert W. Feagles, senior vice president, Travelers
Insurance Company, was presented the Jonas Mayer
Award at commencement exercises, May 19.
The Jonas Mayer Award is presented to an alumnus
who, in addition to his personal achievement, has
reflected distinction on his employer and his country's
position in world business by his outstanding
performance in international service.
Feagles is a 1951 graduate of American Graduate
School, then known as the American Institute for Foreign
Trade, the only school in the U.S. devoted exclusively to
training men and women for careers in international
management. Since the found ing in 1946, more than
12,000 graduates have been trained in the unique
tripartite curriculum of international studies, modern
languages and world business. Over two-thirds of these
graduates have served overseas or are domestically
based with organizations having international operations.
Portia Murry presented
coveted Kyle Award
Portia M. Murry, daughter of Judge and Mrs. R. Porter
Murry, Phoenix and Clifton, Arizona, was presented the
Barton Kyle Yount Award, American Graduate School of
International Management's highest honor at the school'S
69th commencement exercises, May 19. She was one of
305 graduates receiving their Master of International
Management degrees.
The Barton Kyle Yount Award is presented each
commencement to the graduate who typifies the ideal
student the late General Yount had in mind when he
founded the school in 1946. It is awarded by faculty vote
on the basis of scholarship, character and the potential
ability to serve the American free enterprise system.
Ms. Murry attended The Valley School in Tucson and is
a 1972 graduate of the University of Arizona where she
majored in education. She was employed by the Superior
Court of Arizona as an administrative assistant to the
court administrator for four years before enrolling at the
Graduate School.
While attending American Graduate School, she was a
member of the student government placement
committee and was a member of the Spanish club,
marketing club and Delta Phi Epsilon.
Ms. Murry will begin a two year Presidential
Management Intern Program in June in which she will be
assigned to a developmental position in the Executive
Branch of the Federal Government. She was one of 250
finalists selected from 950 nominees from throughout
the country. She will be based in Washington, D.C.
Michael Blimes named
T -Bird alumni director
Michael E. Blimes, 29, was named director of alumni
re lations at American Graduate School of International
Management effective April 1, 1978.
Prior to joining AGSIM, Blimes served as senior
development officer at Albion College, Albion, Michigan.
He was also responsible for annual giving programs as a
development officer at The Ohio State University from
1972 to 1976. He was selected an Outstanding Young
Man of America for 1977 and was first place winner in
1975 and 1976 in a national public relations competition
for fund raising categories.
Blimes is a 1971 graduate of Ohio State where he
majored in journalism. He also pursued graduate studies
there and intends to complete his candidacy for a
Masters at AGSIM.
A student of French, Italian and Spanish languages,
Blimes replaces Diane Connelly as director. Ms. Connelly
resigned to join a real estate sales and management
company in Phoenix.

Profile
Harry Owens,
Amazin' Amazon Doctor
By Pat McArdle
From the Arctic Circle to the Amazon, Dr. Harry Owens
has been there. Who is Harry? He's a quiet man with a
salt and pepper beard who graduated from the St. Louis
University Medical School, spent two years with the U.S.
Public Health Service in Alaska, another year in Alaska's
Matanuska Valley in private practice and a year with
Project Hope in Brazil.
After another year in Alaska setting up a community
health center, he returned to the Amazon to join Project
Esperanca, where he has been working until he came to
AGSIM in January 1978.
After graduating from medical school and joining the
Public Health Service, Owens requested an assignment
in Alaska. He ended up north of the Arctic Circle, working
16
with three phYSicians to cover an 84,000 sq. mile area
with 9,000 inhabitants.
Each doctor spent one week out of three traveling by
boat, bush plane or dog sled to outlying villages where he
treated the sick and trained paramedics who were in
radio contact with the health center. During his second
year in Alaska, Owens served as director of the Center.
He then returned to the United States for a year of
training in general surgery and a second year in internal
medicine.
When the training was over, Alaska beckoned again
and Owens went back, this time to Palmer in the
Matanuska Valley where he worked as a private family
doctor. Finding that private practice lacked the challenge
of working in public health, he joined Project Hope in
1973. During that year he was Deputy Chief of Staff for
the ship Hope, which traveled to northern Brazil to train
local medical personnel. At the year's end, the ship
departed, leaving a staff to carry out a five year training
program which was affiliated with Brazilian universities
and the national Public Health Service.
Once again, Alaska called, and Owens headed back to
Palmer where he set up a community health center.
While establishing the center, he was also saving money
and looking for another medical challenge. He found it in
Project Esperanca.
Owens first heard about Project Esperanca, which is
located on the Amazon in Santarem, Brazil, when a
medical technician from Santa rem visited with him on
board the hospital ship Hope. The Project, which consists
of a community supported hospital, clinic, nutrition
center and hospital boat, was founded by a Franciscan
priest who was a former Navy doctor. His brother, a
Phoenix lawyer, subsequently started the Phoenix based
Project Esperanca which collects money and medical
supplies for Esperanca in Santarem.
Owens' work in Santarem now involves dealing with
numerous government officials since Esperanca is
participating in the formation of a broad national health
plan for the Amazon area. "I have learned a great deal,"
he added, "but I needed a crash course in international
management, so I came to AGSIM." Another graduate of
AGSIM, Jorge Verdusco, is the chief administrator of
Esperanca in Brazil.
During his year at AGSIM, Owens is doing recruiting
and fund raising for the Project as well as attempting to
set up possible joint programs with AGSIM and the
Public Health Schools of John Hopkins, U.C. Berkeley
and Columbia University to provide a masters degree in
international public health. He feels that the possibilities
are endless for the development of educational health
programs on an international scale and he is doing his
best to see that something gets started.

California
American Graduate School of International
Management, in conjunction with the Oxford Centre for
Management, will be presenting a seminar entitled,
"Industrial Relations for Line and Personnel Managers,"
from the 9th to the 21 st of July at Oxford.
This seminar, limited to 24 participants, will explore in
a series of 16 lectures the revolution in industrial
relations that is taking place in Europe today. It is hoped
that these new methods might be employed by U.S.
managers as well.
The conference will be under the direction of Lord
McCarthy of Headington, the former research director of
the Royal Commission on Trade Unions and Employers
Associations, Mr. Roger Undy of Oxford and Dr. John
Drake of AGSIM.
Tax break for overseas Americans
A House Ways and Means subcommittee approved a
bill June 6 that would cut taxes for about 150,000
Americans employed abroad by as much as $575 million
a year, according to Washington, D. C. news sources.
More than half the benefits of the subcommittee bill,
which would be retroactive to January 1, 1978 would go
to Americans earning above $40,000 a year. This action
is considered far more generous tax treatment than the
Carter administration or the Senate have proposed.
Americans working in Western Europe or Canada would
realize smaller tax breaks than those working in other
foreign countries.
The potential tax break of $575 million a year
compares favorably with the $254 million proposed by
the Carter administration and the $310 million reduction

passed by the Senate. Exempting all income earned
abroad from U.S. income taxes would cost around $660
million a year.
The legislation seeks to end the uncertainty that has
surrounded taxation of foreign earnings since passage
by Congress of the 1976 Tax Reform Act.
Before that law was passed, an American working in a
foreign country generally would avoid taxes on the first
$20,000 earned each year. The 1976 law reduced the
exclusion to $15,000 in most cases. The bill approved by
the House Ways and Means subcommittee would
reinstate the $20,000 exclusion for most workers plus
separate deductions for the increased costs of living,
housing, education and additional deductions for moving
expenses, home leave and rest and recreation.
However, Americans working in Western Europe and
Canada would qualify only for the package of deductions
and not the $20,000 exclusion.
Library dedication
The General Kyle Barton Yount Memorial Library was
officially dedicated on June 2nd with the unveiling of a
bronze relief of Lt. General Yount - the founder and first
president of American Graduate School of International
Management. Among the distinguished guests
participating in the dedication were Senator Barry
Goldwater, President Voris and Mrs. Mildred Yount.
The bronze relief, commissioned by Mrs. Yount, was
sculpted by Felix De Weldon and is located at the library
entrance.

We also owe a hearty thank you to Joseph M, Klein, '47,
for his leadership as our first international chairman. He
has stood at the helm since the inception in June of 1976
and, at the first of this year, passed on the responsibilities
he performed so well to Raul P. Masvidal, Jr., '66. Our
thanks also goes to those who gave of themselves as
well as their resources; the volunteer leaders and
students who added to our success.
While we plan for even greater successes in the future,
we want to take pause and thank those listed below and
on the subsequent pages of this report. Without their help
we could not as easily look to the past with pride and to
the future with hope. If yours is not among our 1977
donors, we hope to the have the pleasure of adding your
name to our distinguished roster for 1978.
