- Report. White House Conference on Library and Information Services in 1976. Mr. Pell, from the Committee on Labor and Public Welfare. Conferences Federal Government Government Publications Government Role Information Needs Information Services Libraries Library Services National Programs The Committee on Labor and Public Welfare, to which was referred the joint resolution (S.J.Res.40) to authorize and request the President to call a White House Conference on Library and Information Services in 1976, reports favorably thereon with amendments and recommends that the joint resolution as amended, do pass. The Committee does not look to the White House Conference for any compulsory national blueprint or master plan. If the educational, economic, and cultural aspirations of the American people are to be attained, there must be a marshalling of all the library and information resources of the Nation. But this must be achieved through articulation by the White House Conference of recommendations that will evoke the support, voluntarily, of citizens and librarians. The continued autonomy and diversity of libraries and information services would be promoted by the individual State conferences that would be associated with the White House Conference. The Committee estimates that the amount authorized by this joint resolution will not exceed $10,000,000. (JB)
