ACKNOWLEDGMENTS 



In any project of the scope and complexity of this effort, the Project 

 Officers become increasingly indebted to a large number of individuals who 

 contribute their time and effort with no thought of personal gain. Unfor- 

 tunately, the list of persons who materially aided the effort is too exten- 

 sive to allow a complete discussion. However, while those persons who made 

 outstanding contributions to the success of this project are acknowledged 

 below, the editors also wish to thank all those others, both Soviet and 

 American, whose efforts and assistance smoothed the way to a satisfactory 

 completion of this phase of the project. 



Sincere thanks are extended for the considerable efforts, patience and 

 support of Gary Waxmonsky and Jean MaGuire of the U.S. Executive Secre- 

 tariat of the US-USSR program. Their assistance and prompt attention to 

 the details of translations of texts, movement of equipment, international 

 cable traffic and travel clearances enabled the meetings of the U.S. 

 personnel with Soviet counterparts, and facilitated the preparation of this 

 report. 



The many contributions of Ms. Nina Ivanikiw to the preparation of both 

 the visit to the Soviet Union and to the coordination and preparation of 

 materials for this publication are remembered with deep appreciation. 



The substantial contributions and tireless efforts of Ms. Debra Caudill 

 to the preparation of these proceedings are gratefully acknowledged. 



To the many Soviet colleagues, friends, and acquaintances who labored 

 so diligently to make the Borok symposium such a success, and the visit of 

 the eleven participants to Siberia and Lake Baikal so memorable, we offer 

 profound thanks, Bo/ibuioa CnacH5o!
