The Renwick Gallery has published a pamphlet in Spanish on a current Bicentennial Exhibition, [[underlined]] Signs of Life: Symbols of the American City. [[/underlined]]

This exhibition in itself is a special tribute to the rich heritage of decorative arts in Latin American. Key figures in the Spanish-speaking community and the Spanish-speaking coordinators will be invited to the opening festivities. Tours of the exhibition will also be encouraged. The National Collection of Fine Arts sponsors a work-study program which hires students for the summer and a teaching program which teaches graphics to local children.

Members of the OEO staff participate as guest lecturers and attend private organization seminars.

The EEO plan is developed through an analysis of statistical data, assessment of the current EEO posture, (as revealed by past EEO surveys) and consultations with various groups such as the Union, EEO Committee, Women's Council, EEO Officers and Counselors and other interested employees. An analysis of Complaint activity provides evidence of specific problem areas as well as an indication of effectiveness of the complaint mechanism.

From a review of the above sources, specific problem situations are identified, which in turn are transformed into objectives or action items.

Program evaluation, while not set up as a formal process, is a continuing effort conducted jointly by the Office of Equal Opportunity and the Office of Personnel Administration. Other employee interested organizations such as the Union and Women's Council provide continuing contact for measuring receptivity and acceptance of EEO programs. The Executive Committee and key staff administrators assure continuing emphasis for the Smithsonian's EEO commitment and its priority to all Smithsonian officials.
