Danish electric vehicle industry and the

U.S. one. Finally, the El Jet would

demonstrate the commercial viability of

a ‘‘neighborhood electric vehicle.’’

Petitioner also argued that an

exemption would not unreasonably

degrade the safety of the vehicle. The ElJet is equipped with a 3-point restraint

system, and will otherwise comply with

all applicable Federal motor vehicle

safety standards. It complies with all

current European motor safety standards

and has passed a crash test at 50 kph (30

mph). Its top speed is only 40 mph,

reducing the risk of injury. Although

Kewet expected to be able to provide a

driver’s side air bag in all cars

manufactured after September 1993, the

target date is now the 1996 model year.

Originally, Kewet projected sales of 30

to 50 vehicles through 1993; in

actuality, sales in 1994 as of August 30

were ‘‘less than 35.’’

In Kewet’s opinion, a temporary

exemption would be in the public

interest and consistent with traffic

safety objectives because it is a

participant in the Advanced Research

Projects Agency Electrical Vehicle

Testing Program. It comments that

‘‘[p]roviding test data to the national

testing program . . . is an important

development to the electric vehicle

industry.’’ Kewet does not feel that lack

of an air bag ‘‘has been a safety hazard’’

because of the El-Jet’s low top speed,

and intended non-freeway use. The

vehicle is equipped with lap and torso

belts, and employs ‘‘steel roll cage

construction.’’

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant

to the Bureau’s authorizing legislation,

programs must maintain a non-political

character and should be balanced and

representative of the diversity of

American political, social and cultural

life. ‘‘Diversity’’ should be interpreted

in the broadest sense and encompass

differences including but not limited to

race, gender, religion, geographic

location, socio-economic status, and

physical challenges. Applicants are

strongly encouraged to adhere to the

advancement of this principle.

Overview: The overall purpose of this

RFP is to provide opportunities for U.S.

educational institutions and law

associations to conduct scholarly

workshops/seminars in the People’s

Republic of China in the theory and

practice of the American Corporation

and of American Law and thereby give

the opportunity for Chinese institutions

to offer their members access to recent

information and perspectives in these

fields as well as to allow for the

substantive exchange of ideas. The focus

of the proposals should be on the

academic study of the American

Corporation and the Rule of Law in

American Society respectively. An

approach combining theoretical sessions

and sessions emphasizing the

implementation of theory in practice is

requested.

Workshops/seminars should take

place in one Chinese city. American

organizations are encouraged, however,

to propose programs that would include

participants from a variety of Chinese

institutions from across the People’s

Republic of China. A workshop on

American judicial process, for example,

could include law professors, law

students, as well as legal and judicial

officials. Applicants should specify the

workshop length and venue, the

intended audience, the audience’s level

of sophistication, e.g., faculty, graduate

students, researchers, government

officials, and whether there would be

any co-sponsor.

A. Workshop/Seminar in American

Corporations

Such a program is intended to outline

the legal foundation, organization and

structure, management principles and

status of the corporation in the United

States; and the sociology of corporate

life and the place of the corporation in

American society. The project seeks to

satisfy two goals. The first is to satisfy

the need of the Chinese universities to

get a better understanding of how an

American corporation works in a market

economy as they examine models for

China’s economic development. The

second goal is to promote understanding

of American life and society by looking

at the American corporation from a

sociological and cultural point of view.

The venue will be People’s University

in Beijing. The American institution

will be required to coordinate its

program with the Foreign Affairs Office

of People’s University.

B. Seminar/Workshop in American Law

Grant funding under this category is

intended to enhance and expand the

scope of American legal studies

programs in the People’s Republic of

China. Proposals with a particular

emphasis upon the rule of law in

American Society and its relevance to

China are encouraged. Familiarity with

the functioning of Chinese civil law is

a preference factor. Intense, scholarly 3–

4 week summer programs are preferred.

Individual participants on the American

side must be citizens of the U.S. Both

projects that have been previously

conducted and new projects are eligible.
