ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS 



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. 

 Unfortunately, the list of persons who materially aided the effort is too 

 extensive 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 to Ms. Elaine Fitzback and Mr. Igor Kozak 

 whose assistance with the translations have made possible the publication 

 of these proceedings. The substantial contributions and tireless efforts 

 of Ms. Virginia Shannon, Ms. Debbie Caudill, and Ms. Dawn Armatis to the 

 preparation of the proceedings are acknowledged with deep appreciation.
