References have been included in the text and "Source Notes" are 

 listed on pages 1037-1051, preserving continuity for the general 

 reader. Full access to the voluminous official and personal correspond- 

 ence files of the committee and its present and former members greatly 

 enhanced the value of the finished product. 



To avoid confusing those who are not "insiders," I have, through- 

 out, simplified the dates of fiscal year funding to relate to activities the 

 year they actually took place. This means that the story of what was 

 done in 1979 will actually refer to 1979, instead of "fiscal 1980," for 

 example.
