The OflBce of International Programs is responsible for only a very- 

 small percentage of the Foundation's international and foreign 

 science activities. For instance in fiscal year 1968, OIP funded about 

 7 percent of programs with international components: 



During fiscal year 1968, a total of $20 million was obligated for activities that 

 had international components, of which $1.4 million was obligated directly through 

 the [Office of International Programs]."^
