§80g–1 Hubert H. Humphrey Fellowship in Social and Political Thought

Summary

Creates the Hubert H. Humphrey Fellowship in Social and Political Thought at the Center. Each year the Board must pick a distinguished scholar, statesman, or cultural figure from the United States or another country to serve up to one year as the Humphrey Fellow. The Board sets the fellow’s pay, which cannot be more than the fund’s annual income. Each fellow must give a Hubert H. Humphrey Memorial Lecture and do projects that fit the fellowship. Definitions: "Humphrey Fellow" — the annual visiting scholar or public figure who serves up to one year. "Fund" — the Hubert H. Humphrey Fellowship Trust Fund held in the U.S. Treasury. The fund gets appropriations and donations, is invested in U.S. public debt, and keeps the interest. The Treasury will pay the Board from that interest what the Board needs for the fellowship. Congress authorized $1,000,000 for the fund for the fiscal year beginning October 1, 1978.
