    Since 1948, the ACPD has been charged with appraising activities 
intended to understand, inform, and influence foreign publics and to 
increase the understanding of, and support for, these same activities. 
The ACPD conducts research that provides honest assessments of public

papers, and other publications. It also holds public symposiums that 
generate informed discussions on public diplomacy issues and events.
