State Dept. Is Holding a Seminar Next Week on Anti-U.S. Trends
By JOHN FILES


WASHINGTON, Aug. 29 — The State Department will hold a conference next week on the spread of anti-American attitudes around the world, officials say.

Richard Boucher, the State Department spokesman, said the conference would be held on Sept. 5 and Sept. 6. Mr. Boucher did not say where the conference would be held; however, he said it would be closed to the press.

"The purpose of this conference is to explore various manifestations and roots of anti-Americanism around the world, what it means for the United States and how the United States may address it," Mr. Boucher said Wednesday. "It involves approximately 20 leading scholars from the United States and abroad, and an audience of about 50 U.S. government attendees."

Mr. Boucher said the conference would be organized by the State Department's Bureau of Intelligence and Research to hear from nongovernmental specialists and exchange ideas.

The conference, Mr. Boucher said, is the culmination of a bureau project on anti-Americanism in Europe, Russia and the Muslim world.

To address the issue, Secretary of State Colin L. Powell has appeared on Arab television on a regular basis, and the State Department has started working with Arab newspapers in London.

The department has also brought journalists from other countries, including Pakistan, Uzbekistan and Indonesia, to the United States in an effort to educate them on American policies and traditions.

"We've certainly done a lot to publicize the true nature of our efforts in Afghanistan, both on fighting terror and on reconstruction and the assistance projects that are going forward," Mr. Boucher said.
