* Two grants extended to fiscal year 1971. 



* For both Indians and Americans. 



The purposes of both Governments were : 



(a) to seek increased opportunities for scientists and engineers 

 to engage in joint research projects and exchange of scientific 

 and technical information; 



(b) to facilitate long and short-term visits of scholars for the 

 purpose of research, special studies, and lectures; 



(c) to promote direct contact between scientific and technical 

 institutions and workers; 



(d) to facilitate attendance at scientific and technical con- 

 ferences; and 



(e) to exchange planning information in fields where programs 

 of mutual interest are being pursued in both countries.^"^ 



The NSF was designated the U.S. executive agency; its Australian 

 counterpart is the Department of Education and Science. Each of 

 these Agencies jointly approves and coordinates the activities of any 

 of its national agencies participating in the program. The duration of 

 the agreement is five years; the executive agency in each country 

 reviews the pace of progress "from time to time." Current memos of 

 understanding provide for programs treating: "rangelands, chemical 

 identification and analysis of dangerous drugs, and biomedical 



sciences
