The 1993 Mansfield Conference
The Maureen and Mike Mansfield Center at the University of Montana recognizes
and honors the Mansfield's four decades of public service. The inspiration for the Center
derives from Mike Mansfield's distinguished career and the two subjects with which he has
long been identified: modern Asian affairs and ethics in public affairs. Both he and his wife,
Maureen, whom he credits as being responsible for many of his successes, are graduates of The
University of Montana. Later, as a member of the University's History Department, Professor
Mansfield expressed his lifelong interest in Asia by introducing courses of Far Eastern History.
In 1942, he went on to represent Montana for ten years in the United States House of
Representatives, followed by twenty·four years as a member of the Senate, including many
years as Senate Majority Leader. In 1977, President Jimmy Carter apPointed Mike Mansfield
Ambassador to Japan, a position he continued to hold under President Ronald Reagan, until
1989. No other American Ambassador in Tokyo has served for twelve years, under two
Administrations.
Each year the Center sponsors a Mansfield Conference designed to convene a
distinguished roster of internationally prominent speakers to address a theme of public interest
related to the Center's dual interests in modern Asil).n affairs and ethics in public affairs. The
1993 Conference focuses on "Ending the Cold War in Asia", bringing together five distin·
guished speakers from the United Smtes, Russia, Japan, China and Korea, to explore the
possibilities of building a freer, more prosperous and secure international framework for the
nations of the Pacific Basin.
