For Immediate Release June 4, 2000
The Clinton Administration has significantly expanded exchanges between the Russian and American people to strengthen the overall relationship, promote economic reform and support democratic institutions. These direct contacts between American and Russian citizens also help develop new approaches to common challenges and shared concerns.
School of Public Policy: The U.S. Department of State is awarding a $500,000 grant to Syracuse University's Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs to support the Institute of Public Administration and Social Studies at Moscow State University in its effort to develop a first-rate public policy school. The program will have branch campuses throughout Russia and will emphasize policy analysis, decision-making, empirical approaches, and practical case studies.
Internet Access and Training: The United States supports 32 public access Internet sites throughout Russia that receive 25,000-30,000 visitors per month. An additional 22 sites will be established in coming months, expanding the program to 30 Russian oblasts (or regions). Local experts train users to use the Internet and World Wide Web. Since August 1999, nearly 2 million hits have been registered on the Internet Access and Training Program website: http://iatp.projectharmony.ru/english/index.html.
