 UNESCO. The material presented in tliis paper suggests that it 

 may be to the common advantage of science, of U.S foreign policy, 

 and of international cooperative science policy for policymakers to 

 •consider incorporating some U.S science and technology exchange 

 programs into these same cooperative international mechanisms.
