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

Summary

Creates a Hubert H. Humphrey Fellowship in Social and Political Thought at the Center. Each year the Board must choose a notable 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, but it cannot be more than the trust fund’s yearly income. The Fellow must give a Hubert H. Humphrey Memorial Lecture and do related projects. The Board must publish and share the lecture. A Hubert H. Humphrey Fellowship Trust Fund is set up in the U.S. Treasury. The Secretary of the Treasury must put in any appropriated money and any contributions, invest the fund in government securities, and credit interest back to the fund. Gifts for the fellowship received by the Board must go into the fund. The Treasury pays the Board from the fund’s interest the amounts the Board needs for the fellowship. Congress authorized $1,000,000 for the fund for the fiscal year beginning October 1, 1978.
