For Effectiveness and Independence

Surdna Foundation, Inc.
250 Park Avenue - Room 528
New York, New York 10177

Dear Ms. Homrighausen:

I am grateful to know that the Surdna Foundation is considering the possibility of making a grant to the Rockefeller Institute.

Let me describe our Fellowship program as a possible candidate for your consideration. The objective of the program is to increase the stock of knowledgeable people in New York State's universities and colleges about New York's problems, both to enhance university-government interaction and to sharpen the reality principle in education. Annually the Institute hosts four faculty and four advanced graduate student fellows who spend the academic year working on projects of their own choosing but on subjects pertinent to public policy in New York State. They are selected by a Visiting Committee of our Board of Overseers, a committee now chaired by the President of City College, from applicants attracted from New York's public and private universities and colleges. They have been drawn primarily from the State University, but we have had two Fellows from Cornell and one from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. I am attaching a list of our Fellows and their subjects.

While in residence, the Fellows conduct research, attend the many conferences the Institute holds, participate in their own Fellows Seminar, and prepare a publishable report. Each Fellow has a mentor from the public affairs realm who is well versed in the field of the Fellow's subject and assists the scholar in making a relationship that assures quality research. A sample Fellow's publication is attached.

In addition we have annually in residence two senior members
of New York's Executive bureaucracy who have the same research
and seminar experience our Fellows, who are educators, have,
though their mentors are drawn from the academic world.

We wish to endow our Fellowships. They could be named
Fellowships and could be aimed at specific subjects or groups.
There could be, for instance, an annual Surdna Fellow in New York
Social Welfare Policy, who could be recruited from certain
institutions or from the public service. One such endowment
would require the annual interest on $250,000. At present we are
looking to endow a Fellowship for a faculty member and an
advanced graduate student from private institutions, a Fellowship
from the legislature, and a Fellowship for a public affairs
journalist.

In addition to our Fellowship program, we conduct active
publications, conferences, and research programs. I am attaching
some samples of work drawn from those areas. We are seeking to
endow some of these programs as well.

If I can be of further assistance, I hope you will feel free
to call. I have also attached copies of our budget, tax status,
and annual report.

I am

Attention: Ms. Chris Vick

Dear Nancy:

From the response that we have had, it is apparent
that you and other Endowment Committee members have
been active in getting in touch with prospective
donors. We deeply appreciate your effort.

It would help if you could give me a brief report,
perhaps by telephone (518-473-5328), on your work so
far in connection with the following:

(1) The general reaction of those with whom
you have been in touch.

(2) Specific problems, if any.

(3) Suggestions for improvement in any aspect
of our Campaign.

(4) Number of names not yet contacted.

In the event you need further literature on or by
the Institute, I hope you will make that known to me
and we will make sure it gets to you promptly.

We are genuinely pleased with the momentum that is
developing in connection with our Campaign. We are
optimistic about the overall success of the program.

My sincere appreciation to you and best wishes for
the New Year.

Honorable and Mrs. Henry A. Kissinger
1800 K Street, N. W.
Suite 520
Washington, D. C. 20006

Dear Dr. and Mrs. Kissinger:

With this letter I want to enlist your support in
strengthening in New York State a living memorial to
Governor Rockefeller.

Two years ago, the State University of New York established the Rockefeller Institute of Government in Albany. Chancellor Wharton had discussed the matter with Governor Rockefeller shortly before his death and it was at the Governor's urging, though he did not know it would be named to honor him, that the State University develop a capacity to bring to bear the University's research and educational resources on issues of importance to the State.

In the last eighteen months of full operation, the Institute has already established a place for itself in the policy process. Its fellowship, publication, and conference programs are an important part of the forward thinking going on at the State level, and its public service projects, such as monitoring the State for Federal expenditures or the revival of the *New York State Statistical Yearbook*, are ones the State government has been otherwise unable to execute. The conference facilities of the Institute have become the one neutral forum in Albany where all parties to an issue can sit around the same table.

It was the recommendation of Governor Rockefeller and an objective of the Institute's Board of Overseers that such an Institute be supported primarily by an independent endowment and not rest on annual State appropriations. An endowment would permit scholars to look at questions of medium- to long-run importance, to consider problems, as Governor Rockefeller would say,

NOV 2 1984

before they become crises. The shorter leash of government appropriations makes that time horizon exceedingly difficult. At present, the Institute is financed on the basis of grants and contracts, income on a small initial endowment, and by a limited subvention from the SUNY Research Foundation.

The Rockefeller Institute is conducting a campaign to develop an endowment. Mrs. Nelson A. Rockefeller and Mr. Donald W. Blinken, Chairman of the SUNY Board of Trustees, are the Honorary Co-Chairs of the campaign, of which I will be the Chair, and Norman Hurd its Secretary. Among those who have agreed to serve, I am pleased to include: Ms. Evelyn Cunningham, Mr. Robert Douglass, Mr. Joseph Gimma, The Honorable Sol Linowitz, Mr. Alton Marshall, Mrs. Beth Moore, Mr. Neal Moylan, Mr. Vincent O'Leary, Mr. Roswell Perkins, Dr. William Ronan, Mr. Oscar Ruebhausen, Mr. Charles Schoeneck, Jr., Mr. James Warren, and The Honorable Malcolm Wilson.

Knowing of your affectionate feeling toward the late Governor, I am delighted that you will join us on the Endowment Committee. Your agreement to serve along with others closely associated with the Governor in his New York years will be a great asset as we approach individuals, corporations, and foundations. I do not envision that it would require much of your time, although I do hope you will be able to attend our dinner meeting and perhaps make a few phone calls. The dinner meeting will be held at Pocantico Hills on Wednesday, October 24, 1984. Cocktails will be served at 6:30 followed by dinner at 7:30. Although an RSVP card is enclosed, we would appreciate a telephone response at your earliest convenience. Also enclosed is a map with directions to Pocantico Hills. Dr. Ilchman and members of the Institute staff stand ready to carry a major share of the campaign effort.

I look forward to our work in memorializing Governor Rockefeller's great contributions to New York State.

411 State Street

Established in 1981 by the Trustees of State University of New York, the Nelson A. Rockefeller Institute of Government stands as a living memorial to the energy and accomplishments of the late Governor. Through fellowships, internships, conferences, and publications, the Institute mobilizes SUNY's vast range of instructional, research, and service resources. Faculty from the State University's 64 campuses make available valuable experience and expertise as they work with citizens and officials on important issues of public affairs and policy.

Ideally suited for the Institute's headquarters is 411 State Street, a five-story Dutch Renaissance Revival building across from Albany's Washington Park, convenient to both the Nelson A. Rockefeller College of Public Affairs and Policy, located at State University of New York at Albany, and the seat of New York State government.

The structure dates from 1900 and was initially intended as a residence for Charles Manning Van Heusen and his wife Ada Olive (nee Proctor). A prominent Albany businessman, Van Heusen was a close friend of President Theodore Roosevelt, whose White House china he supplied. Van Heusen was also responsible for standardization of the design of the Great Seal of the United States.

The new home at 411 State Street had been built for the couple by Ada Proctor's father, William F. Proctor, a Vice President and Director of the Singer Sewing Machine Company. Tradition has it that Charles Van Heusen sketched the original plan for the building on a piece of paper at the Fort Orange Club, using a billiard table for a drafting board.

Van Heusen's rough drawings served as the basis for the final renderings by his brother-in-law, William Ross Proctor, who held a degree in architecture from the Columbia University School of Mines. William Proctor was an eclectic designer whose buildings included the Western Pennsylvania Hospital and the Allegheny Pumping Station, two predominantly Elizabethan style mansions, and a "Colonial Revival" country club near Pittsburgh. He

eventually gave up his architectural
practice to become a stockbroker, serving
as well as Vice President and Trustee of
the New York State Genealogical and
Biographical Society.

The Van Heusen marriage dissolved
before Charles and Ada could occupy the
residence at 411 State Street. In 1902 the
home passed to Anthony N. Brady, a
pioneer of Consolidated Edison. Brady,
who endowed the hospital that later
became St. Peter's in Albany, completed
the structure's interior decoration,
including commissioning the Music
Room's four wall murals.

In 1921, several years after Brady's
death, Benjamin Whitbeck purchased the
property and converted it to an apartment
he christened Chateau Plaza, later the
Colony Plaza. Albanians who were
teenagers in the mid-1920s may
remember attending dancing class on the
second floor in the Brady's old ballroom.
Later in the twenties, the first two floors
were also converted to apartments. The
carriageway was enclosed and a new
entrance was made directly onto
State Street.

The building changed hands at least
twice more before it became the
headquarters of the Research Foundation
of State University of New York in 1965.

From 1959 to 1965, even before
purchasing the building, the Research
Foundation rented office space at 411
State Street, acquiring apartments as
tenants vacated them. For 20 years the
building served as the Foundation's
corporate headquarters; it also housed
such University offices as the
Atmospheric Sciences Research Center,
the SUNY Press, and the Sea Grant
Institute — academic enterprises closely
tied to the Foundation's activities and
mission. Even as it grew worn past its
suitability for such purposes, however,
the building itself remained a
distinguished and elegant symbol. It

linked the new State University system both with the social and political heritage of historic Albany and with the progressive, energetic state government whose role was so influential in SUNY's development during the Rockefeller years.

The administration and Trustees of State University of New York have long attached considerable importance to historic preservation, as demonstrated by the restoration of Albany's Delaware and Hudson Building to serve as the system's headquarters. In 1981, the commitment was extended still further under the leadership of Chancellor Clifton R. Wharton, Jr., who designated 411 State Street as the site for the Nelson A. Rockefeller Institute of Government. Its renovation, Dr. Wharton recognized, will represent a significant contribution to the Washington Park neighborhood, which is listed already on the National Historic Register.

The building's 23 rooms are a showcase of architectural styles. On the ground floor, the reception area has an Elizabethan ceiling and a Jacobean fireplace, with a carved staircase winding upward in graceful curves. On the second floor, which will be used for Institute conferences and other University-wide activities and seminars, a Georgian ballroom displays leaded windows of primarily Flemish influence, while the parlor is done in the manner of Louis XVI and the paneled dining room is Jacobean. The Music Room is thought by many to be the most beautiful room in Albany: dominated by English Georgian features, it is highlighted by four lunette wall murals executed in 1906 by the local artist Will H. Low. The murals depict allegories entitled *Time of Henri II* (east wall); *Garden Fête* (west wall); *Château d'Anet* (north wall); and *Garden of Diana* (south wall).

Several pieces of the mansion's
original furnishings remain in the
Institute, including a marble statue called
*Spinario* (Boy Removing a Thorn), a
copy of a bronze work in Rome's
Palazza dei Conservatori.

Restoration of 411 State Street has reopened the vaulted carriageway that originally led to the rear courtyard. The State Street entrance has been closed and the glass and bronze main doors have been reinstalled between the carriageway's marble columns. By removing two floors that had been built beneath the skylight, workers have recaptured the soaring magnificence of the Music Room's original 2½ story interior. In addition, specialists from the Cooperstown art conservation program, affiliated with State University College at Oneonta, have painstakingly restored the Music Room murals. Fourteen fireplaces, each of a different color marble or handpainted tile, have been brought back to their former condition. The renovated building now conforms to all safety codes and will be fully accessible to the handicapped.

Restoration of 411 State Street, in which Chancellor and Mrs. Wharton continue to take an active interest, is proceeding under the supervision of architect John I. Mesick of Mendel, Mesick, Cohen, and Waite in Albany. Mr. Mesick is currently President of the Preservation League of New York State and a member of the Board of the Albany Institute of History and Art. He has overseen many historic restorations, including that of H.H. Richardson's New York State Senate Chamber in the Capitol.

Not merely an example of one of the finest American residences of its period, the building at 411 State Street will also provide an eminently suitable home for the important programs in public policy and administration offered by the Nelson A. Rockefeller Institute of Government under the auspices of State University of New York. Renovated with reverence and integrity, the building will endure as part of the cherished heritage that belongs to all New York citizens.

## THE IDEA:

### New York State Needs:

* an institution where issues of medium- to long-term importance to the State may be systematically explored and opportunities and problems identified in time that positive action, whether public or private, might be undertaken;

* a setting where the key leaders — business, labor, responsible public officials, citizens' groups and scholars — can discuss these issues in a free and frank manner;

* a mechanism by which higher education's contribution can be brought to bear on public policy questions, and these questions then become the subject for future research in the universities and colleges of the State.

Fulfilling these needs is important not only for the effective and fair governance of the State, especially in view of increased complexities in the State's major responsibilities, but also for New York to play its role as a leader in the federal system.

With these objectives in mind, the State University of New York established The Nelson A. Rockefeller Institute of Government in Albany. Governor Rockefeller was chosen as the symbol of this venture not only to honor his profound effect on policy and governance in New York and his singular influence on the State University, but also, and more importantly, in recognition of his practice of addressing problems before they became crises and of involving the most knowledgeable people in their understanding. As such a venture, The Rockefeller Institute is unique in the country in its concern to address *State* issues.

[L.C.]

## THE IMPLEMENTATION:

The Institute was formally inaugurated in October, 1982, and headquartered in a restored townhouse on State Street near the seat of New York government. The Rockefeller Institute conducts four programs.

### The Public Service Program:

The Institute undertakes research and training on behalf of other organizations or bodies, when doing so advances issues of public importance to the State. These have included:

* assisting Governor Carey's Council on State Priorities;

* implementing the Governor's Office of Employee Relations case-writing program to improve public management education;

* assisting Lieutenant Governor Del Bello develop alternatives to the local aid formula;

* evaluating, for the Temporary State Commission on Returnable Beverage Containers, the first year of the "Bottle Bill";

* monitoring, for Senator Moynihan, the State's share of Federal expenditures;

* conducting the strategic planning process for the City of Albany;

* providing a secretariat for:

  * the Alliance for the Commemoration of the Bicentennial of the Constitution;

  * the New York Information Resource Management Group;

  * New York Consortium on Education for the Public Service.

## The Publications Program:

* The Institute, several times during the year, distributes articles and research on issues of relevance to New York public policy to a mailing list of more than 900 — legislators, commissioners, directors of agency research, judges, county executives, heads of public interest groups, and members of the New York Congressional delegation in Washington;

* *The New York State Statistical Yearbook*, a publication containing major current public data pertaining to New York, has been revived by the Institute;

* Two full-length books analyzing *Rockefeller's New York Legacy*, and the *Carey - Cuomo Transition*, drawing on reflections of the key participants, will be published in early 1984.

## The Conference Program:

Each month, the Institute holds workshops, seminars, and major conferences on issues of importance to public policy development and implementation in the State. Recent topics for conferences include:

* what relevance the recent national reports on improving elementary and secondary education have for New York;

* whether the present system of local aid to communities can be sustained in New York in the 1980's;

* how management education for New York public managers needs to change to respond to the role of computers in government and the demand that the State play a role as an entrepreneur in reviving the State's economy.

Over 5,000 public officials, heads of interest groups, citizens, and scholars have attended discussions at The Institute in 1983.

> "... the best government is not that which holds out the illusion of easy answers to all our problems. The best government is the one that encourages its people to find the best within themselves — and helps them to work out, to the extent humanly possible, solutions to their own problems."

> — Governor Rockefeller, Citizen Union Annual Dinner, November 27, 1973

## The Fellowship Program:

Each year four SUNY faculty and four advanced graduate students are in residence to do research on subjects of pertinence to New York. Among the topics of pertinence to New York in 1983-84 are:

* evaluation of the effects of the New York Juvenile Reform Act;

* Canadian investment in the North Country;

* public policy and alcohol availability in New York;

* organizational negotiations in toxic waste management.

Beginning in 1984, two career public servants and two members of the Legislature or its Staff will be in residence for various periods of time as Executive and Legislative Fellows.

The Institute plays an important role in strengthening the many internship programs in Albany.

## Governance:

The Rockefeller Institute is governed by a Board of Overseers, membership of which includes public officials, citizens with distinguished reputations in public affairs, and educators from the public and private sectors of higher education. The Director of The Institute serves concurrently as the Provost of The Nelson A. Rockefeller College of Public Affairs and Policy of The State University of New York at Albany.

[LC]

## THE NEED:

The needs fulfilled by the Rockefeller Institute for the State of New York are continuous, regardless of the political party that is in power. To continue the contribution the Institute is making to New York public life and assure the Institute's independence, The Rockefeller Institute has begun an endowment campaign.

The Campaign for Effectiveness and Independence seeks $3.5 million to endow the core programs and administration of The Rockefeller Institute. Endowed funds will be earmarked for particular programs or for general purposes. Individual gifts to programs may bear the name of the donor, such as a named conference program in Public Finance or fellowships named for Legislators. The programs for which endowment is sought are:

* General Endowment ($1,250,000)

* Legislative Fellows Program ($50,000-500,000 each)

* Executive Fellows Program ($50,000-500,000 each)

* Public Affairs Journalism Fellows Program ($250,000 each)

* Faculty Fellows Program ($150,000 each)

* Junior Fellows Program ($75,000 each)

* Conference Program ($250,000)

* Publications Program ($150,000)

* Public Service Research Program ($250,000)

All gifts are tax-deductible.

Dear Henry and Nancy:

Your colleagues on the Nelson A. Rockefeller Institute Endowment Committee missed you very much at our inaugural dinner in Pocantico Hills on Wednesday. I am enclosing many of the items we distributed and know they will provide you with a better sense of the Institute's work.

I am also enclosing a "Prospects List." We would be grateful if you would look it over and, on the enclosed sheet, suggest names of people we should add and indicate, on a second sheet provided, a few names of people you would be willing to contact on our behalf. We plan to send all individuals on the expanded list literature on the Rockefeller Institute and, when appropriate, to indicate who might be in touch with them. Using the enclosed stamped envelope, I would be grateful if you could return the two sheets by November 6th.

As noted in the brochure, the gifts can be for specific purposes and individually named. The gifts may also be spread over a number of years, though there is no expectation of mounting a further drive after this initial one. All of the eventual income will go for this living memorial to Governor Rockefeller, for program purposes to make New York a better State. None will go for bricks and mortar. As a partnership of higher education, government, the private sector, and

# The Nelson A. Rockefeller Institute of Government

## State University of New York

The Nelson A. Rockefeller Institute of Government, established in 1981, is the State University of New York's effort to make available in Albany the public affairs expertise of the 64 campuses of the world's largest public university. The Institute is dedicated to the conviction that the interaction of university scholars, public officials, and citizens on issues of importance to New York State will enrich scholarship and public policy alike. The Institute was formally inaugurated on October 6, 1982.

The work of the Institute is carried out through four programs:

* **Publications:** The Institute currently produces five publication series — *Working Papers, Reprints, Special Reports, Research Reports and Conference Proceedings*. These series disseminate research on New York State public policy issues, as well as conference proceedings at the Institute, by scholars of the State University of New York, public officials, and citizens' groups. Full-length books of general interest are also published by the Institute. Presently in preparation are *Rockefeller in Retrospect: The Governor's New York Legacy*, and *Managing*

*New York: Making Experience Count*. In addition, the Institute is responsible for publishing the *New York State Statistical Yearbook*.

* **Fellowships:** Each year a number of SUNY faculty (Senior Fellows) and advanced SUNY graduate students (Junior Fellows) arrive at the Institute to complete further research on public affairs-related topics. The topics pursued have included such areas as housing policy, support of higher education, family dispute mediation programs, women returning to the work force, respite care centers for the aged, racially disproportionate incarceration practices, and toxic waste negotiations. In addition, there are a number of Visiting Fellows from outside the SUNY system.

* **Conferences:** Jointly, or as sole sponsor, the Institute holds conferences designed to bring together key participants in a policy area for free-ranging, often off-the-record discussions concerning the recognition and resolution of important problems or topics. Among the conferences already held are:

“Rockefeller in Retrospect: The Governor’s New York Legacy”

“Examining the Local Aid Formula”

“Introducing Competition to a Regulated Health Care System: the Case of New York”

“Improving Public Management Education in New York State”

“The Reindustrialization of New York State”

“The Impact of Reaganomics on New York State”

“Policies to Affect Retention of Skilled Workforce in New York State”

“Green-line and Urban Parks”

In addition, the Institute holds executive seminars on issues of public affairs importance and a monthly Press Forum luncheon.

* **Research:** At the request of New York State Government or citizens' groups, the Rockefeller Institute sponsors research projects on issues of pertinence to the State. This research is undertaken by campus-based scholars or at the Institute itself. At present, there are three projects: the New York State Case Writing Program for Public Management, the Gubernatorial Transition Project, and the Relationship of Outflow and Inflow of Funding Between the Federal and State Government.

The Institute is governed by a Board of Overseers which is chaired by the Chancellor of the State University of New York. The major programs of the In-

stitute are advised by Visiting Committees composed of distinguished citizens, public servants, and University scholars.

The Rockefeller Institute is housed in Albany in a handsome restored Dutch Renaissance Revival townhouse, located within walking distance of the seat of the New York State Government and the University Center at Albany's Rockefeller College of Public Affairs and Policy. Restoration authorities claim the Institute is one of the finest turn-of-the-century residential buildings in existence in the United States. The building houses offices for the Fellows programs, publications, and conferences. The conference rooms (three in number) allow for different size events, including concurrent sessions. Dining arrangements are available. Organizations with programs relating to public affairs questions confronting New York State may apply to use the conference facilities.
