After preparation by the research grants council , the u . s . consulate general and the hong kong - america center , early this year a fulbright advisory committee and an academic review committee met to implement the new program 由研究资助局、美国总领事馆、港美中心筹备，今年年初由富布赖特咨询委员会和学术评审委员会落实推行新计划。
The social background is : during the first half of 1960s , both u . s . public opinion and government policy towards china tended to be thawing and more flexible . the intentions of fulbright to organize the hearings were to avoid war between u . s . and china , to have the congress and the public to get to know china better , and to extend the power of congress in foreign policy making , etc . 4 案例三从两个方面揭示了富布赖特听证会的背景：就社会背景来说，美国对华僵硬政策和舆论已有所松动；就个人动机来说，富布赖特意图通过听证会避免中美之间的直接军事冲突、增加国会及公众对中国的了解、扩大国会的外交决策权等等。
" the new program has a lot to achieve and contribute by extending fulbright opportunities to local scholars who aspire to gain deeper appreciation of the academic culture in the u . s . and benefit from intense interactions with their u . s . counterparts in research and other educational frontiers , " he said 他说： “新计划将有许多益处和贡献。它使富布赖特计划扩大至包括本地学者，他们都渴望对美国学界文化有更深入的认识，通过与美国同行在研究和教育等其他领域里深入互动交流，从中得益。
