SPONSORED BY THE ARKANSAS PEACE CENTER - PAIRING
LITTLE ROCK AND FRUNZE IN THE KIRGHIZ REPUBLIC,

WHEREAS, the Arkansas Peace Center, a non - profit voter
education service, will participate in a national program
designated the "Pairing Project" to foster greater understanding
of the Soviet Union; and,

contribute to the easing of tensions between the United States
and the Soviet Union; and,

transmitting to Frunze, a city of 500,000 people in the Kirghiz
Republic, USSR, a "community portrait " - -a collection of
materials, photographs, and souvenirs that portray the cultural,
economic, political, and social life of Little Rock including
formal greetings from the Board of Directors - -all in the hope
that the people of Frunze will reciprocate in kind; and,
WHEREAS, at least this gesture may make some contribution to
world peace,
Now, therefore:
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE CITY OF
LITTLE ROCK, ARKANSAS:
Section 1. We, the Board of Directors, officially on behalf
of the people of Little Rock and individually hereby endorse the
Pairing Project and hereby extend to the people of Frunze,

salutary aims of the Pairing Project.
