 the original goals of the project have been met, as expressed in the 

 closing words of that prospectus. The project, said the latter, will —

 diplomacy, and the concurrent principles in the uses of diplomacy to strengthen 

 U.S. goals in science and technology. It will be a search for opportunities for 

 new initiatives, a search for areas of organization and administration needing 

 more emphasis or support, and the identification of unresolved issues of policy. 

 Beyond this, it is hoped that the intrinsic merit of each of the case studies 

 will make it stand alone, as a study of policy on an important matter, and that 

 restatement of the findings will serve as a useful compendium and index of 

 the whole enterprise.
