Plans have also been made to present it to the Academy of Sciences in
Poland, European Psycholoqists for Peace meeting August in Finland, the
International Political Science Association, International Society for
Human Ethology, American Anthropological Association, American Association
for Physical Anthropology, International Society for Study of Behavioral
Development, European Association of Experimental Social Psychology,
German Psychological Association, various groups in Scandinavia, etc., etc
If you will keep me informed of the groups you have contacted and the results
of their deliberations, I will circulate the information to everyone

Two hooks are being planned to support the Statement. First, the proceedings
of the Seville Coloquio are going to be published this Fall in Seville, under
the editorship of Martin Ramirez, Robert Hinde, and Jo Groebel, Second, there
are plans underway for a more formal, commercial volume that would include
the Statement and original papers that provide a scientific foundation for it.
Robert Hinde and Jo Groebel have agreed to work on the second. Once the detailed
prospectuses for the two books are in hand, Ben Ginsburg and Paul Scott have agreed
to help seek financial support for them from major foundations.

Many people have asked about how they can support our effort. For the moment,
we are asking them to help in the ongoing process of gaining publicity, gathering
support from national UNESCO commissions and scientific, educational. and peace
organizations, and preparing and financing the supporting books. Hopefully,
UNESCO will formally adopt the Statement and initiate a much wider process of
dissemination that we can then help to support. In the meantime, I will try
to enlarge the mailing list — now at 75 ~ for this newsletter, if you will send
me names and addresses of those whose names should be added,

In the words of our colleague, Federico Mayor Zaragoza, we are developing
a “snowball” of discussion and support for the Seville Statement. We hope that
the United Nations can give it the added momentum it needs to make a real impact
upon the world‘s consciousness - to empower humanity with confidence to
undertake the transformative tasks needed in the International Year of Peace
and in the years to come.

Peace,

David Adams
