Summary View help for Summary
This study contains data on the views and opinions of 647 American public opinion leaders that were participants at the White House Conference on Foreign Aspects of United States National Security held in Washington, DC on February 25, 1958. The sample is composed of 61 percent of the 1,067 conferees. The data represent an attempt to gather empirical information about national leaders, their opinion-making activities, and their attitudinal and behavioral responses to common stimuli. Data are provided on respondents' perceptions and evaluations of the conference and conference participants, and the effects of the conference on their subsequent political and social activism and position on foreign aid. Data are also provided on respondents' formal government and political experience, access to formal and informal channels of communication, friendship networks and interaction among opinion-makers, familiarity with and involvement in foreign affairs, attitudes toward foreign aid, and conceptions of the American people and public opinion. Other demographic items specify age, sex, race, religion, education, foreign travels, occupation, veteran and military status, and leadership of organizations.
