Eighty Nebraskans will leave the state in March to
serve as ambassadors to the Soviet Union as part of a
goodwill mission sponsored by Friendship Force, Mary
Hart of the Nebraska Friendship Force said.
An international organization formed by former
President Jimmy Carter and his wife, Friendship Force
attempts to help people of all ages and nationalities to
learn about and understand each other through exchanges,
Hart said.
Although this is the first Nebraska mission to Russia,
it is not. the first Force-sponsored trip to the Soviet
Union, she said. Also, it is not a true Friendship Force
exchange since the Russian people are not allowed to
come to the United States as ambassadors, she said.
$1,295 exchange cost
The 12-day trip will cost each ambassador about
$1,295, which includes air fare from New York to Russia,
hotel accommodations, most meals and train fare, Hart
said.
In the past, 250 Nebraskans were chosen as ambas
sadors for missions, but now only 80 are chosen, Hart
said. The number of ambassadors was cut because the
larger number of people necessitated taking a charter
flight, which is not as enjoyable as flying on a regular
airline.
On their trip to the Soviet Union, the ambassadors
will get the chance to meet with many of the Russian
people, see the countryside, ride a Soviet train and
generally observe the Soviet lifestyle, Hart. said. The
ambassadors will wear buttons and carry calling cards
as they visit families and learn about the Soviet Union.
Some of the stipulations being placed on the ambas
sadors are that they stay in hotels and not in people's
homes and that they don't invite people to their hotel
rooms, she said. They will be allowed, to travel on their
own, go out to dinner and go o the RuSsian ballet.

s to visit Russia
Stipulations stressed
Not talking about politics or religion and not bring
ing expensive gifts or items, that may be sold in the
black market are some of the stipulations placed on the
ambassadors by the force itself, Hart said.
She said the Russian people are curious that Ameri
cans care that much to visit Russia and are anxious to
talk to the ambassadors. The Friendship Force wanted
to do away with the "painted image" that Russians have
of Americans and show that Americans are "beautiful
people.1'
The Friendship Force looks for people who are sin
cerely interested in meeting with people of other cul
tures, who are not looking to go on a "whoopee cruise"
and who are not argumentative or are going to sell things,
Hart said. Interviews for . prospective ambassadors to
the Soviet Union will take place in Lincoln, Omaha
and Grand Island until Jan. 1 , Hart said.
Following the trip to the Soviet Union, ambassadors
are allowed to correspond with the people that they
meet. Hart said the previous U.S. Friendship Force
mission to the Soviet Union was successful and she is
hopeful that this special Nebraska Mission will be, too.
She said she wishes the Soviet Union would ease
restrictions and lei the Russian people visit the United
States so that they could , experience the American life
style firsthand.
