ACKNOWLEDGMENTS 



It seems fitting on the completion of a research undertaking of the 

 magnitude of Science, Technology, and American Diplomacy for the 

 project director and associate director to claim the privilege of giving 

 recognition to the significant contributions to the project. 



To begin at the beginning : We are indebted to the Honorable Clem- 

 ent J. Zablocki, chairman of the Subcommittee on International Se- 

 curity and Scientific Affairs, for his foresight in initiating the series 

 and his dedicated efforts in seeing it through its completion. In addi- 

 tion, two successive staff consultants of the Subcommittee on Interna- 

 tional Security and Scientific Affairs, Dr. John H. Sullivan and Mr. 

 George R. Berdes, are to be thanked for their constructive guidance 

 during the past 7 years and for the unfailingly sympathetic support of 

 an enterprise that proved more demanding, and extended over a longer 

 period of time, than was originally foreseen. Mr. Ivo J. Spalatin, who 

 has now succeeded them in the important role of subcommittee staff 

 director, and his associates, are also due our thanks for their encour- 

 agement and support in the final stages of this enterprise. 



Apart from the codirectors, there were 10 authors of studies, as iden- 

 tified at the beginning of this volume under the heading Documents 

 in the Original Study Series. They deserve recognition and gratitude, 

 not merely for superior accomplishment but for their tolerance of 

 strenuous conditions of competing work assignments, their thousands 

 of hours of volunteered overtime, and their assistance in the review 

 and updating of material in the final study. Genevieve J. Knezo pre-- 

 pared both the original annotated bibliography for the series and 

 the current bibliography to be found at the end of this volume. 

 Dr. Huddle's assistant, Mrs. Elaine Carlson, performed many essential 

 editorial and research support tasks. 



Dozens of others in CRS, over the years, contributed their time and 

 skills in bibliographic, research, and clerical assistance, and in the re- 

 view of studies in draft. CRS Coordinator of Research James W. 

 Robinson reviewed the studies in their entirety and made many helpful 

 suggestions. 



In addition, many scholars and officials outside CRS were generous 

 with their help in reviewing draft text and providing constructive 

 criticism. Prof. Edgar S. Robinson of American University submitted 

 extensive notes in review of Science and Technology in the Depart- 

 ment of State which were of value in preparing the final study ; he 

 also served as consultant in the preparation of the latter. To him and 

 to the other scholars, too numerous to cite individually, appreciation 

 and thanks are expressed for their assistance in collecting facts, offer- 

 ing suggestions, and encouraging the ultimate completion of this 

 undertaking. 



A final important acknowledgment : gratitude beyond measure is 

 due our wives, Clare Scott Huddle and Eunice C. Johnston, for years 

 of indispensable support and forbearance.
