REPORT BY THE U, S.


GeneraI Accounting Office







Advocacyifn National

Endowment For The Humanities' Projects

Funded I'y Five State Councils


In response to a congressional inquiry, GAO
reviewed five state humanities councils--California,
Florida, Idaho, Maryland, and Oregon. Out of about
700 projects funded by these state councils during
fiscal years 1982 and 1983, 10 were judged by
National Endowment for the Humanities or state
council officials to have raised concerns or ques-
tions about advocacy--the act or process of
defending a particular point of view. NEH policy pro-
hibits advocacy in projects it funds. Questions of
advocacy are most often associated with public pol-
icy projects, but the very nature of these projects
makes it difficult to entirely eliminate such ques-
tions.

This report also contains information about how the
National Endowment for the Humanities and state
councils review grant applications, how the member-
ship of state councils is selected, and how questions
of advocacy arose in five specific projects.
